1. Are we going to heaven when we die or are we 'becoming the New Jerusalem'?
May be both, but ultimately NJ for sure. "I saw the NJ coming down from heaven as a bride adorned for her Husband."

2. Are we going to be God's dwelling place for eternity? I understand that we won't be God in life and nature...
This is my understanding of Ephesians

3. What is the truth about mingling? Is this biblical?
Not a biblical word, but He's certainly joined Himself to us in spirit. (1 Cor 6:17)

4. Are we born of God or adopted by God?
I think scripture indicates both - being born again is a matter of life, while adoption is the legal aspect.

5. How do you know who to trust? I asked this question in the LR and was told to turn to my spirit.
My answer is to ask Him directly - He is faithful to answer.

6. What is the real meaning of life?
To love God and have an ongoing relationship with Him, and love those around us.

7. Is there a 'central vision' in the Bible?
God loves us! We blew it. God came to rescue us by manifesting in the flesh, dying in our place, giving us His righteousness, and coming to live in us. No one loves more than this!

8. Are the crystallization studies biblical or just WL's imagination?
I don't know about these - been gone too long.

9. What does it mean to 'think the same thing?'
Only achieved by looking away to Him - certainly not by our efforts!

10. How do we separate what was true and what was a lie from what we were taught in the LR?
Look to Him. Ask Him to give you clear understanding of His word and shine light on what is not true. For me it's 20+ years of recovering from The Recovery. But knowing His love, as the basis for everything He does toward us, was the beginning of real revelation concerning Him.

11. How do we continue on when we don't want to fight anymore?
In your weakness He is made strong in you. Thank Him for the opportunity to experience His strength through you and ask Him to help you.

12. How do we stop looking over our shoulder and waiting to be punished (not by God so much as man)?
Need a clear seeing that His primary motive towards you is His great love for you, and He works all things for your good! "He who has begun a good work in you is faithful to complete it."

13. Is the teaching about natural affection being evil true?
Can't address.

14. Are we allowed to enjoy things in this world apart from the meetings, Life studies and the ministry? I mean, can we ever take a vacation and not feel guilty?
Yes! Condemnation is a lie! For freedom He set us free! (Gal 5:1)
