That speaks to my point well, and I have thought the same thing. The Apostles seem to go right up to the point of calling man God, but then don't. Why? There certainly must be a reason!
As we've said, our new ID in Christ is exceedingly lofty and I doubt we've realized a small fraction of what He's done in making us sons of God and sharing in His glory,
but we should be careful lest we start adding things in there that are not stated clearly.
Let me say that I also don't agree with the two LC practices listed on the open-letter.org website: suing other Christians and denigrating them. These things ought not to be in the LC. The other theological problem they list (Modalism), I'm kinda "meh" about, as I've expressed on here several times.
So UntoHim, for the record I agree with 3 of the 4 things against the LC listed on open-letter.org. (does that make me at least 3/4 of a forum member?
)
