Christ, only Christ.

I hear ya.. What I meant is, it slowly became all about the LC/LSM. It became about Lee being the oracle, the mota, etc... they talk about Christ of course but their agenda is to reel you into the LSM more than to Christ Himself. If that is not true, why have this forum?
How many times do we hear "Brother Lee said" ? That's what I meant about the LC/LSM putting Lee and the LC/LSM (the church) first. Everyone reads the RCV, the footnotes, the ministry booklets. But what about sharing from someone else's ministry? Isn't it frowned upon? Or what about sharing what God Himself showed you, revealed to you simply from the scriptures that isn't exactly in line with what Lee taught?
That's what we used to do back in the day before Lee became the center of the LC.
We are all instructed to Be diligent to accurately handle the Word of Truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15). But when people become parrots of a leader, be it Lee or someone else, we are not trusting in God to reveal His Word to us in our spirit. We are leaning on man to explain God's Word to us, which is what the Roman church did. And btw, not saying we don't need fellowship. We most certainly do!!! We need fellowship..we need guidance, spiritual mentors, pastors who are mature in Christ for the building up of the body of Christ.. and to bring unbelievers into God's Kingdom.
Just saying...........
