Something that Lee taught that doesn't align with what I've been "taught" or read from the Bible myself.

Quote: blended, mingled, consummated...etc

I don't belive 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?

Actually, Grace, I wrote that tongue-in-cheek. It was a quote, not direct, but a mish-mash quote of the sayings that delineate the teachings of the 'Lord's Recovery' theology. Lee believed that and spoke it and got a lot of people to take his terminology as the equivalent of the gospel. However, the gospel to me is that I am a sinner who believed into the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, I endeavor to go on in this faith, which includes among other things receiving the believers who are alongside me. That includes you, among others, so please stay!

Sorry to throw you off by that quote. It needed some parenthetical thing, perhaps combined with smiley faces! I have a dry sense of humor, sometimes too dry...

KSA, I don't understand this kind of theology, sorry. Lee didn't do a good job explaining it to me. No one has, so I suspect either I'm dull or it doesn't matter too much. I probably just haven't 'got it' yet.
