The real oneness of the Spirit requires genuine love from the heart, loving God, loving the brothers, loving our neighbors, and even loving our enemies. This alone is the agape love of God.
Instead, we in the recovery were taught to love the "truth," which is basically synonymous with loving doctrines, and not just any old doctrines, but only those which came forth out of Anaheim. We also were instructed to love "the ministry," which basically means that we only buy and read LSM books.

I just finished writing a post about a call I received this week from a sister/friend I lived with in the 70s. She and her hubby have been living in Anaheim 'forever'. But for whatever reasons, I believe the Holy Spirit prompted her to call me. (She may not know it but I KNOW the way the Holy Spirit operates.
)
As I wrote we had a good conversation and somewhere in our fellowship I mentioned no matter where we are in our walk, we are all members of Christ's body. Christ is our Head and we are His body. She was receptive or did a very good job of holding her tongue!
Btw.. as I was scanning through these posts, I read somewhere that Lee did not regard Job (and the Psalms which I already knew and a few other books in the bible) as significant?? Is that right?
LOL.. because I told my friend I am experiencing Job's trials
But I know how his story ends and I am quite encouraged in spite of my circumstances.
Again... showers of God's blessings upon us all.
