I don't know why you deny that our geography, or proximity to each other is a common ground for meeting.
I guess when people are blinded by religion and denominationalism, the concept of meeting with Christians because they are near them is a strange concept.

I'm just trying to help you. You represent a tiny minority of opinion, yet you insist you are right and brush aside every reasonable objection to your claims. That is not rational or sober.
And please don't put words in my mouth. I never denied geography plays a part in who we meet with. I just said you don't have a right to enforce it on others according to your interpretation of it.
It's flat crazy, Evangelical, for you to think you and only you and your little band are doing things right. That's the kind of things nutty cults believe. It's you who are out of whack with the Body of Christ.
I simply do not believe that 2000 years after Christ was here on earth, that at this late date God finally was able to raise up a little crew who finally after all these years see what church is supposed to be and are the only ones doing it right, and that his command to them is to stay away from everyone else and tell them how wrong they are.
I really do not believe that is what God is telling you guys to do. Like I said, your way of rationalizing your exclusivism is the same way nutty us-only cults have done it down through history. It makes sense in your tightly-spinning world, but not to more sober minds.
Rational objection after rational objection to your arguments have been given from all quarters here. Your response is not to honestly engage most of them, but to either brush them aside, mischaracterize them or engage in other sophistry. Any reasonable person here sees it, but you seem oblivious to it.
Are you really expecting people to believe that a person who reasons as carelessly as you do holds the keys to light and truth? Dream on. You are wasting your time.
If you like the LCM, fine. Tell us all about how you like it. But please cease with the crappy arguments for it. They don't hold water. This has been show again and again, ad nauseum.
