Default Re: "We Don't Care for Right and Wrong"

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. (Psalm 89:14)

Right and wrong are not moving targets, at least not to God. Right and wrong is not a "concept" or attitude that is subject to "situational ethics" or the moral judgments of men...even of men claiming to be speaking for God. Most importantly, at least for our purposes here, right and wrong is not at variance with, contrary to, much less antithetical to "life".

Right and wrong are not moving targets because righteousness and justice are not moving targets. This word "foundation" in Psalm 89:14 brings with it the connotation of "a fix place". God's righteousness and justice, and by extension, God's judgment of right and wrong, are in a fixed place, which is his throne. Anyone who tells us that we can have God's life apart from his throne is selling us a bill of goods. It is a very dangerous thing for a man to think that he is qualified to teach others to "not care for right or wrong, but only care for life". We need not look further than the life and times of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee for strong confirmation of this. And now, in the Local Church of Witness Lee, we find a sizable lot of very sincere Christians who have become shipwrecked in a system of error by abandoning the righteousness and justice of God in favor of the teachings and practices of Nee and Lee. May God have mercy.
