Re: Soul & Spirit - Same or Different?
Actually, StG, it's not complicated at all. The Holy Spirit, or even our human spirit in conjunction with God's Spirit, would never, ever cause us to believe, think or act in a manner which is contrary to Holy Scripture. And if that's what happens when your "cake" is turned, than we can know for sure that it is not something accepted, much less directed by God.

A doorway to exploitation in a typically cultic sense.

You can pretty much ignore everything else that has been posted if you will just get this point that Curious is bringing forth. Is there any doubt whatsoever that "a doorway to exploitation" was opened in the Local Church of Witness Lee? I think what Jo, aron, Curious and moi are trying to get across to you (each in our own, flawed and fallible way) is that there is a grave and present danger in going through that doorway again, especially when we know that God has provided so many other alternatives. I do hear and appreciate your understanding that there are other dangers and extremes out in poor, poor, Christianity, but I think you are really selling God's people, and by extension God himself, short. There are right now, and always has been, more biblical and healthy teachings and practices than those of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee.
