These dear fellow saints in the Lord's Recovery seem to have little individual conviction on what the Scriptures are revealing to themselves, but more specifically on the pertinent issues that I had questions on. This probably explains their regular reliance on the writings of Living Stream Ministry for having it revealed to them instead.

Great conclusions. Basically LC folks have a second-hand God. They only know God thru the conduit of Lee's books.
The teachings of Lee have become their pipeline, their "filter," their mediator, their advocate with the Father.
The Son of Man is outside, at the door knocking, waiting for some to open the door and dine with Him.
