OCOC is division plain and simple.
The Lord's recovery is the cross. That's how He recovered us. Without it, we had no hope of recovery.
The ministry/minister/vision of the age isn't a real thing, and if you want to think it is, well, then it has nothing to do with Witness Lee. But the ministry book The Vision of the Age, he reaches a point where he traced his way through the "lineage" of ministers of the age and then reaches the present day and then he literally says, "I'm not selling myself here but...."
And that's all we need to know. Witness Lee was selling himself by creating the false doctrine of minister/ministry of the age. Sickening.
I'm so pleased to read that you said "other saints in other denominations"!! Most LCers won't call members in denominations "saints", which is divisive in itself. But those believers in denominations definitely ARE SAINTS! |
On the shepherding words website, there's a pdf that says the following, quoting witness lee first:
"We have to see that in every age, God gives only one vision to man. In Adam is seen God's redemption. In Abel is seen God's way of redemption. In Enosh is seen man's need for God and man's calling upon Him to enjoy His riches. In Enoch is seen a redeemed one walking with God on the pathway of redemption. In Noah is seen one who walked with God and worked with God to build the ark to meet the need of that generation".
.....
'The minister of the age is the one through whom the vision of the age is released. Both the Bible and church history show us that the Lord raises up someone to take the lead in speaking forth the vision of the age. Watchman Nee and Witness Lee were both such vessels. Minister of the age is not an honorific used to cede spiritual authority to a person. Rather, it is an acknowledgement of the Biblical principle that in every age there is one vision and one man who takes the lead to release that vision and to carry out the ministry that is according to the vision.'
What do you think about what the pdf says? I'm really not sure, I felt at peace reading it but I really don't know what to think anymore....
