[UntoHim]

Sorry if my word about being under the sovereign will of God sounded threatening to you. I certainly did not want you to take it that way.

None of us actually have the power to threaten or blame anyone. Besides, life if too short and too fragile to waste it in that manner. Unfortunately, this is what you took away from the false religion of the Local Church of Witness Lee. As I noted, their judgments are neither true nor righteous. This is the main reason that I brought forth those passages from the Gospel of John, where it plainly states that the Lord Jesus came not to condemn the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

As far as "the sovereign will of God" is concerned, I would liken it to the law of gravity. We are certainly free to live within the law of gravity. In fact, it can be used for our benefit. We are also free to "disobey" the law of gravity, but we will suffer a consequence. I see someone in your position as standing at the precipice of a very high cliff. You are challenging the law of gravity at great peril. I am merely warning of the great peril you face. Would you call this threatening or condemning you?

Take care my friend. I think Carol's post is spot on. You should consider what she has to say.
