Do not be deceived. Just because something may seem OK it does not make it so. The teachings of the LC will
ALWAYS fall under 1 of 2 categories:
1. Restating the obvious - usually done with some fancy terminology and some sort of spin to create shock-value, like Christ dying on the cross for our sins (obvious) so he could mass-produce Himself (weird spin but not totally unbiblical if you focus on the idea being communicated rather than the isolated words, but just weird enough to get some "Wow's" during the meetings).
2. The unsound, unbiblical, insane teachings of WL and friends: The bible says that " The LORD saw how
great the
wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that
every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was
only evil all the time. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD." (Gen 6:5,8) but WL still has the audacity to raise the question "Can we say that only Noah was serving God at the time of Noah?" just to try and prove that the idea of a MOTA is biblical.
The point is, either one of the categories have the same underlying motive: To prove that the LC is the real deal and everybody else is wrong. So at least in potential, every teaching of the LC has to offer is bad, because their motives are wrong.
It is like when the serpent told Eve " God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." (Gen 3:5). Is this teaching wrong? Didn't God later on say " Behold, the
man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil." (Gen 3:22)?
So, should we keep the "good/right" teachings of the serpent?
By using this example I am not calling WL and the LC a serpent. I am simply using the example to indicate that a teaching needs to be discerned along with its motive.
