For that I was labeled as a negative brother. On this Thankgiving holiday I pray, "Father, thy kingdom come. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Happy holidays to you all!

What delivered me from any thought that WL was the MOTA or any other such "honor" was the hypocrisy and unrighteousness that got uncovered when "Toto" pulled the curtain back. I already mentioned how Chinese New Year was celebrated for the sake of the Gospel, but Christmas could not be.

This was the Scripture verse that jumped out at me,

"You, therefore, have no excuse when you pass judgment on someone else, for whenever you judge others, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same thing."- Romans 2.1

WL regularly condemned other Christians for their money-making schemes, yet was so blind to his own, believing he alone was above the law.
