The Church in Sardis prefigures the Protestant Reformation?

Aron> "How come Lee got to give his opinion, and nobody else does?"

This is an example, aron, of the victim paradigm.... it is platform you use often perhaps to invite sympathy for your argument and yet it is a completely false assertion.

Folks in this forum express anti local church opinions day in and day out. Occasionally someone will cite Brother Lee here too. But it us much less frequent. So your assertion is not factual.

But don't misunderstand me. I for one think it is valuable for you to make outrageous assertions and mischaracterizations about everything to do with the local churches... gives an opportunity to present a different reality.

Thanks

Aron>" Let me suggest a subtitle: "Everything is Everything"

No aron . Brother Lee never stated, suggested, or taught the little circular logic you crafted. Not even close.

Why would anyone want a different reality? What's wrong with the real one? The local church is at least a second reality, maybe even third.

Why would any sound minded person ever want different realities? Different realities aren't reality.

Awareness my friend.

The "reality" that aron resides in is real to him. I don't recognize his reality where leadership kills people like Pilate did., where boogeymen are pulling levers behind the curtain, where Princess Leia is more relevant than Scripture. I assume he is not deliberately lying so his colorful imagination is a reality to him.

Suddenly you don't like parables?

Lee is the one who said God was a tea-bag in water.

At least I'm not charging you money for my parables.

Bro Drake, thanks for your explanation. I guess I didn't understand y'all's discussion. My bad.

We are all dependent upon our imagination to relate to the infinite. I guess we can get carried away tho. So it would be wise for us to keep it tied to reality as best we can.

However, reality is different for each of us, and different even for each of us at different times in our life.

At one time Christ and the Church Witness Lee style was my reality. That "reality" is long gone. I suspect that that is not true for you, I don't know. Lee's reality is dependent upon some future fulfillment, to know if it's real reality. If that doesn't happen then it's not real reality. If that's your reality good luck with that.

Blessings bro ...
