Overall, I agree. But as some others have indicated, if you don't know better, you do have excuse. And the only thing for which I understand lack of knowledge to be irrelevant is salvation.

If we are followers of Christ ("saved"), the way we follow may not be entirely correct, but as long as we are not going against conscience and the scripture, we are not necessarily "wrong." This is surely a murky area. It is one that allows various followers to live differently from others based on conscience.

And many of the problems with the LRC are kept hidden from the general membership. Most avoid these kinds of sites. They know nothing about Philip Lee, the Daystar scam, the lies about John Ingalls and others. They don't know. But the doctrines are problematic because we are not all capable of deciding correct teachings all by ourselves. We may think we are but we are only fooling ourselves. We need others. We need those who take the occupational task of learning and teaching. And we need more than one of them. Of someone who is under many others. Never just one ultimate earthly source.
