The Church in Sardis prefigures the Protestant Reformation?

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 ...
