When I asked on this discussion forum, "How is it that some of the
RecV Psalms footnotes say that imprecations (cursing, diatribes) are Christ defeating Satan, whilst most Psalms in
RecV are footnoted as "fallen", saying we're called to bless, not curse?" the LC-attending poster replied, "Maybe that's the way it is." Some discussion. If you don't help me here, forgive me if I come to my own conclusions.
I asked, "How can a man who violates Paul's word to Titus on an elder having believing children be a spiritual giant, and apostle of the age?" Such a person who's disqualified to be a local church elder shouldn't be para-church leader. But no answers have ever been forthcoming.
I asked about conflict of interest, that a para-church leader (Witness Lee) asked for investments to fund a for-profit business run by family members (Timothy Lee). Not to mention that the company went belly-up and the money disappeared and when asked by erstwhile investors, Lee said, "That's my business". No discussion from the LC attendees. Not one single response that I'm aware of.
Or that women wrote books like "God's Plan of Redemption" by Mary McDonough, sold by LSM and cited as a basis of "The three parts of man", yet "women can't teach", per Paul? Not to mention Margaret Barber, Ruth Lee, Dora Yu, Peace Wang, Jessie Penn-Lewis, Madam Guyon... why the discrepancy of women's roles in the early 'recovery' versus 100 years later? No comments ever came back in answer.
Or that "the economy of God" includes the concept of 'intensification' - where does Paul write of this? John may have referenced it in Revelation 1:4 (or perhaps not), but where did Paul ever reference this? And if Paul didn't teach this in Scripture, why do we think Paul was asking Timothy to make sure this was being taught in Ephesus?
And how come nobody can ask such questions in LC meetings in front of senior brothers and co-workers without being called "negative"? Until someone from the LC addresses these and many more issues, please prepare to have your enjoyment challenged. Hopefully the questions are respectful and not scornful, but be sure that the questions are there.
