Most of the things leastofthese posted are not "various claims the LCM makes".
For example, we never claim that it is a requirement to make accusation or slander. That itself is a slanderous and accusatory statement.

You tell me, does the bible say that things will get better or worse in the end times? The majority of things will be worse, and the majority of Christians will be characterized by this:
2 Tim 3:5 " Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
So side with the majority of Christians if you like, but I think the bible shows it is the minority who actually follow Christ.

Given that spiritual growth is God's work, I cannot see how you can presume to make such a statement.

There's no need to be jealous.

You are looking at the outward things.
