Now where did Jesus say that loving your enemies "is of no avail if it is Christ-less, and without Christ's love, it is just our own love, and is vain, superficial, natural, even selfish?"

Your post is exactly what Lee taught me for decades. I have seen it bear much rotten fruit. This teaching of Lee is not scriptural. Hence, I have attempted to completely discard it, and love as Jesus commanded us.

Paul told Timothy that in the last days "men will be without natural affection." (II Tim 3.3) I saw far too much of this in the LC's, jut as Paul predicted.
