Re: The Church with No Name?
Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Yes! Search the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Another LC issue ... receive the word we're cranking out, but don't ask questions.
My point will always be...don't lean unto your own understanding. Balance your searching of the scriptures with your personal and intimate walk with Jesus. All the "church talk", as has been noted, is just that...talk. it's man's interpretation of scriptures...or, man's interpretation of another man's interpretation of another man's interpretation of scriptures! Search the scripture for yourself. Even Lee gets to interpret the scriptures. He also has the right to be wrong.
Lee was another John the Baptist. Pointing to himself instead of the one who was coming. Lee became a rival to Jesus just as John did. John the Baptist was removed from the scene. No one talks about John the Baptist anymore, yet Lee still has a following. Lee's "ministry" should have ended when he died. We don't need Lee's "ministry". We just need to continue to search the scriptures FOR OURSELVES. Have our own personal walk with Jesus. Credit the interpretation of others only as that...their interpretation.
Following fallen men can only lead to following their fallen beliefs and teachings and...hypocrisy.
