Well he was quite a mouthful.

He's presuming on the "one church, one city" maxim is the only true expression of the universal church. Once you are outside of it as he said, you are the worst pitiful person. That's what he just condemned me. He doesn't even use a single scripture to combat as a counter-response. And if he does quote the OT to justify his accusations, he's mistakenly used the Scriptures in an allegorical interpretation.

There is no greater response to him because he's not really even engaging with me. He's just throwing stuff at me to make me feel bad.

I would just try to demonstrate that the universal church is comprised of many churches that don't have everything correct because everybody is human, there's only one inspired word of God and that's the Holy Bible, That the Bible is self-evident of itself is the only word that is true.

I wish i shouldn't have forced myself to engage - casting pearls before swine. I'd graciously try to get to a conversational level, invoking the Scripture that says we need to be gracious and loving one another. But it failed when he started ranting off. Maybe he got triggered when I told him that Witness Lee was not orthodox.

I've been trying also reaching out to my LC friends, but sad to know when I'm already labeled a dangerous rebel. Thanks to these elders! I realize that I'll be persecuted. I could even lose my life especially when granny gets home and she finds out about my situation. I lied to her many times by via Skype; just not to get into trouble.

All these crazy mindsets of pertaining to someone who has left the LCM makes me really sad.
