Untohim, I have followed this site for numerous years, and have ( much to your chagrin) posted numerous and lengthy posts over the time- thank you for allowing my participation. I have noticed over the years a few things: the trinity/processed god thing comes up from time to time. No one seems to speak the same about it, it runs out of steam and falls off, and then returns later with the same confused replies; it is an interesting cycle, which to me, shows the total weakness of participants in grasping the subject. I think one of the reasons WL got away with his views is that no one understands the whole trinity thing because it was not given by the Holy Spirit and scripture, yet has been around for 1500+ years. So a man, and this has happened over the course of christian history, comes up with a great design explaining all and people all like a cohesive packaged view/ doctrine that they can believe in. But in their own selves, particularly if they are bible readers and not just message followers, really can’t justify or understand the man’s grand design, nor defend it other than repeat the message.
2nd thing I have noticed over the years is a very waning consideration of the Church and the churches and it seems to me that most, including you, have sort of drifted into a modern Christianity is as good as it will get so let’s join in and forget the whole meeting as the church concept. While those who meet in the name of “the church in xxx” have been totally overtaken by LSM productions and exist only as a shell filled with the wrong content.
For myself, I can only say that every day the Church and the churches are on my heart and I plead with God to bring about that which was established in the scripture, that which God can pour out His Spirit to strengthen, witness to, enlighten. During this time of upheaval we have in our society, I hear some wondering if it is the time Christ will return, and I just wonder why Christ would return when Christians have such little care for the Church and the churches.
You know how I feel about trinitarianism being the scourge of the church, and I know we don’t agree- but where is the zeal for the Church and the churches that used to exist among the participants on this site?
