Only the Lords Recovery can cause the second coming of Christ

[jigsaw44]

1.Hello my fellow posters Today I have some concerning information regarding the beliefs of the local churches. It all started with a conversation with a recent FTT graduate who grew up from New York, he just returned to the east coast after finishing his years at the the training and we had a conversation on his desires to work full time for the ministry. He went on the usual talk about spreading the ministry and so on. But things got weird for me at this moment, he then talked about the Parousia of the lord.

2. He referred to a verse in 2nd peter (chapter 3 I believe) in regards to expedite the lords return. This is a common verse and it is spoken of quite a lot and debated on its validity in cross examination with other scripture. But going on, he then said that the lords recovery is the body of Christ today and that the his return depends on the ministry, he then went on boasting about the ministry and its "gRoWtH". The weirdness continued when he said that the lords recovery is the savior of the world because the works of the ministry shall be the key for the return of our lord......... Then the usual return of babylon stuff starting coming out and that the local churches have recovered the true body and correct way of the church.

2.5- I felt a little weird after this conversation but when I discovered a LSM publication basically backing everything he was saying, I kind of got a little blown away, cause this is a step up from the usual LC delusion I am use to. Here is a copy and Paste of the words from Living Stream Ministry.


3. Living Stream Ministry- If there is no recovery of Gods people, from Babylon the great to the church life, there being no way for christ to carry out his second coming.

If there were no recovery on the earth today, there would be no return from Babylon the Great to the proper church life, and consequently, there would be no way for Christ to carry out His second coming. This thought should humble us and cause us to receive grace at the throne of God. This thought should cause us to pray, “Lord, You have brought us back and returned us according to Your promise, You have included us as part of Your remnant. I give myself and consecrate myself to You so that You can work out such a recovery today, a recovery that prepares us to be a basis for Your coming again.”


4. Then I started thinking about all the post here regarding why the LC is so desperate to maintain numbers, whether that is campus deception, twisted way of handling relationships so that people don't get attached to something that can be of greater value than the LC, minimizing all personal relationships in order to put the church at top priority with everything else being second (such as friends/family), extreme caution to keeping count of attendance of church meetings to keep track of numbers, and just the overall vile practices to shut down opposition. It is probably why the FTT is a mind control institution, simply because of this delusion. I mean this madness, this is ridiculous.

4.5 All this I think exist, because they are under the delusion that only they can bring back Christ. If someone is truly delusional and they think that they are the only ones capable of brining back Christ, I mean imagine what monstrosity that can bring to the mind in terms of desperation, evil, and the desire to domineer. I am not sure if this is a new belief or an long term Local Church belief conserved Over the years.

5. The reason I asked earlier on whether the local churches believe they are exclusively the body of Christ in their perception is because of this idea of the Lords recovery and their relation to the second coming. I hope I am missing something but this looks clear as day to me in regards to the delusion of LC people.

6. What do fellow posters think about this overall? I really hope im missing something here that can dispel this potential crazed delusion......
