The bible does consider it a noble thing to do a lot that the LC doesn't do.

"They asked me to remember the poor, which thing I was eager to do", said Paul. The FTTA trainer told us, "Don't waste your time", quote-unquote. Instead, go after the "good building material".

How is that not also Christless Protestantism, or Christless Post-Protestant Personality Cult, or whatever label we want to call it?

How did Lee get the temerity to re-write the Bible and put various labels on people and groups while avoiding them on his own?

With what measure you measure, you are measured. Only God comes out of this one unscathed. God and His Christ. The rest of us, while we are yet in the flesh of sin, would behoove ourselves to take the last place and not to presume a position of judgment of others.

Where is the love? I don't see it.

Now, Drake mentions that I also lack charity. Mea culpa. But you know what - I'm not presuming to be something. I'm just calling out someone who is.

"They have creeds - we have the subjective experience of Christ." Yes, so subjective that you pan scripture as fallen, mixed, and natural. So subjective that you dismiss the poor, the sick and the weak. &c.
