OK, KSA...I like this thread, but being as I'm not an expert on LC theology as taught by Lee, and I'm not a biblical apologist, but rather, your run of the mill evangelical, born again Christian...let me just pull something from another thread that was stated that sounds "off" to me. Something that Lee taught that doesn't align with what I've been "taught" or read from the Bible myself.

I don't believe that is my destiny. I don't believe the Bible teaches this as our destiny. I don't expect to be blended and mingled with one another and the Triune God...even though you're all nice folks and all.
I believe that we are here on this planet to please Him, give glory to Him, to worship Him and to share the wonderful news of salvation by grace by faith in Jesus Christ. THEN, I believe in the simplicity of Heaven...a wonderful, currently unknown-to-us place, where in spirit and with new glorified (individual) bodies, we will cast crowns at His "feet" (whatever form He has taken on) crying, Holy, Holy, Holy! (Yes, I know there will be other things we'll be "doing" -- but you know, no more cryin' there, no more pain, etc.)
So...how's that for starters? Or, does this go to another thread (a laymen's one?)...or, do the rotten tomatoes start getting tossed my way! Or maybe I should just back slowly out of the room and humbly and quietly head to another forum?
