Hi all...
Long time no be here... just popping in.
A couple of threads caught my eye. While this thread is very long, I am going to respond to the opening statement regarding Martin Luther. Here is the quote from the post:
[B][I][QUOTE]its preferred self-designation is “the Lord’s Recovery.”1 Adherents maintain that, “Since the 1500s, beginning
with Martin Luther…the Lord has continued to gradually recover more light and truth from His Word.” They also contend that there is
a single “Minister of the Age” in each era
Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to me Lee 'gloated'
AS if he had been the one to discover "the Lord has continued to gradually recover more light and truth from His Word.”
And while it is true, that that all the denominations, including the charismatic ones came from the Roman Catholic church with a little more light, in my studies as well as those by others,
I believe that at the end of the age, all the man made 'churches' and religious denominations will return to their 'mother', that is the mother harlot who is the woman riding the beast of Revelation 17. So while the Reformation was a good thing, the religious system never quite broke off. Go to a Lutheran church service and it looks very much like a Catholic mass, as do the Anglican, Episcopalian, and to a lesser extend the Methodist and still further, the Baptist church.
The last couple of popes have been fervently working to unite all religions together beginning with the 'Christian' denominations.
Grant it the rituals are different but the LSM sheeple using the footnotes and the HWMR as their 'spiritual food',
are not much different now than the RCC and the denominations who use little booklets with scriptures in their services!
Lee and the LSM have pretty much now prevented the 'sheeple from reading their bibles and have prevented them from studying the scriptures outside the LSM walls. You want to understand a topic? Go read Lee or Nee for understanding. And don't go challenging them!!!!
I am presenting a few short videos that have nothing to do with the LSM on the surface.
This short video..less than
2 minutes shows Pope Benedict receiving a warm applaud as he visits a Lutheran church in Rome:

In the following
12 minute video, an Anglican priest attends Kenneth Copeland's service with a message from Pope Francis to the Copeland and followers. Around the 7:22 time Copeland video tapes a message to the Pope. He quotes to the pope the 'unity of the faith' found in Ephesians 4.

It's all lovey-dovey....
The entire 45 minute video for those interested is below:

Last year in June 2014
"In an effort to encourage peace in the Middle East, Pope Francis hosted the leaders of the Israeli and Palestinian worlds at the Vatican on Sunday, presenting an ecumenical gathering that joined professing Christians and Catholics together with Muslims, Jews and Druze.
Pope Francis, Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas planted an olive tree together as a symbol of peace, and each took turns speaking about their desire for “co-existence.”

What has all this to do with Lee and the LSM?
Lee brainwashed us many, many years ago that the LC was the 'true church' and while I never quite understood and still don't understand the outer darkness scriptures, Lee had a way of making it sound like a place of purgatory until after the thousand year reign. Catholics believe in a place called purgatory for those who don't go straight to hell but don't go straight to heaven either after they die. Those who go to purgatory can only get out through the prayers of the living. I was never taught Jesus prayed for them. Perhaps Mary and the saints in heaven do..

LSM’s “Recovery Version of the Bible reflects this notion; it embodies one man’s teaching—Witness Lee’s.

more similiarties between Lee and the Pope.

Despite the lack of theological training and biblical language skills, he is responsible for both the text and notes.3 LSM declares, “The Recovery Version of the Bible is so named because its text and footnotes crystallize many of these [recovered] truths and experiences.

If anyone has ever been a Catholic or been to Catholic masses, the church takes scriptures and inserts it in their church booklets. Catholics don't read their bibles. They read/study the catechisms of the church.

" LSM’s Lesson Book claims, “The Recovery Version is the most accurate translation…"
|
And the RCC believes it HAS the most accurate translation in their Catholic Bible.
Personally, I think Lee held some Roman Catholic views and with the way the LSM has evolved, reading pretty much only the footnotes and the HWMR, they seem to be right on track in returning to the RCC in due time. They've returned to the 'dark ages'.
Those who are true believers and followers of Father God and the Lord Jesus will leave the LSM as so many have already done or..........
That said, all true believers cleansed and washed in the Blood of the Lamb regardless of their denomination affiliations are children of the Creator, the Most High God. Let not your heart be troubled. (John 14:1) There will not be any denominations or LSM in heaven or in the Holy City New Jerusalem. Halleluiah to the Lamb of God!
Blessings everyone...
Our Bridegroom comes soon for His Beloved Bride!
