Wouldn't Matthew 5:29-30 be considered an idiom? He references "understanding of the Jewish cultural expressions, idioms, feasts, marriage celebration, etc., etc.,…"
While I may not agree with everything unreg writes, that doesn't make me appreciate his post any less. Thank you for the thoughtful post - we know that the Lord can use your experience with the LC of Witness Lee for his glory. I hope that this message can touch some "lurkers" and bring them closer to the truth.
I think about your thought,
"I got devastated before the Lord, "almost" my over 30 years of my Bible study meant nothing. I felt like a "steamroller" just passed over me! I had to almost start again from zero..." almost daily as I pass the jehovah witness meeting hall on my way home from work. I hope that God may touch their hearts and bring them to His truth and love. I feel the same for many within the LC of Witness Lee. This post does a good job outlining some of your thoughts on why it is important to read scripture and process with other belivers.
