Default Re: Quote from today's Witness/Watchman Wednesday

Who said there's anything wrong with it? Just because it's put up on the forum doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with it. It's put there to foster discussion.

That being said...Lee's quip "You have to invite the Lord Jesus to lose your temper for you" is as nonsensical as it is unbiblical. I think the Lord Jesus might have some more important things to do than to lose our temper for us. We have the Holy Spirit living within us. We have the Scriptures at our fingertips. These are the things God has provided - the Spirit within and the Word without - these are the "remedies" for those of us with a temper problem. My 45+ years of experience and observation have confirmed for me that simply repeating "Oh Lord Jesus, please come and lose your temper for me", which goes right along with Witness Lee's "get out of your mind" teaching, will bypass the Holy Spirit's speaking within, and ultimately ignores the Scriptures without. The result is that we do not grow in knowledge or grace.

Others may have a totally different view. No problem! Let's discuss.
