Justification for One City-One Church dogma?

Does anyone else remember the chaos of the "New Way," with elders locking the doors to their meeting hall on Lord's Day morning? All because Witness Lee said to.

Why the double standards from you ?

Why is the local churches ("LSM") divisive for meeting in a meeting hall and not meeting with denominations, and Hon's fellowship are not also divisive for meeting in homes and not with denominations?

Is Hon spreading the lie that his denomination is the one true church who has recovering biblical truths and propagates the teaching of a modern oracle of the time? Is he claiming a desire for oneness, but practicing division? Does Hon implicitly and explicitly condemn other Christian believers that don't fall in line with his denomination?

If so - I agree with brother "Evangelical"'s question

Isn't the expression "not meeting with" equivalent with "divisions among you". Paul commanded that there be "no divisions among you". Saying that you won't meet with certain christians indicates that there are divisions among you.

I have met with numerous groups that cover the entire spectrum of Christianity except for Catholics. (I cannot recall attending a Catholic service though perhaps I have and just forgot.) Only one gave some kind of test and warned against meeting with other groups. That was the Lord's Recovery Church.

The warning they gave was extreme, Ray Graver in teaching on the Lord's table warned that you could get sick and die if you took the table with anyone other than the Lord's Recovery Church. Ray Graver also required elders to sign a loyalty pledge to Witness Lee.

Then the Blended's as a whole agreed to excommunicate Titus Chu and entire churches because he published outside of LSM.

This is the very thing that Paul commanded that we were to not allow.

LSM excommunicated Henry Hon for meeting house to house.

LSM excommunicated Titus Chu for writing a book.

LSM excommunicated Nigel Tomes for exposing their false teachings.

LSM excommunicated John Ingalls for righteousness sake.

(This forum is filled with the details and many more cases of expulsion.)

So then LSM is the "Division Among You" that Paul prohibited. I guess that is what DAYstar stood for.
