Transformation: Did Lee Miss the Point?

Paul C. says it best here:
This all being said, I'd love to engage in a "thorough scriptural study of the truth" with any and all takers. We can leave PL and even the BB's out of it as far as I'm concerned - none of their names are on any of the books or tapes anyway. There are lots of threads with various themes and subjects. People can always open a new thread if they want.

Three examples have been discussed here in as many days, Untohim.

The first one was that after the believers have been justified by faith they are saved in His life (Romans 5:10) . Some said they agree and others didn't but all quickly gravitated to the argument that PL or WL taught that we only need to care for life so they could cover up sin for example. Therefore, a dismissal of that truth.

The second one was on the matter of oneness (Acts 2:1-2) where again no matter the initial view it quickly gravitated to an argument that oneness was used as control mechanism of some sort by WL therefore division is better than a "false oneness". So, a dismissal of that truth.

The third one was "Let God be true and every man a liar" (Romans 3:4) which folks quickly gravitated to the suspicion that I was using that verse to sweep the something under rug.

Three out of three.

I am certain all discussions about these truths will always end up with stories about the sins, failings, and motives of others and thereby dismiss the truth such as was done with the matters regarding the life of Christ, the oneness of the believers, and the undeniable righteousness and truthfulness of God mentioned above.

I say scriptural truths should stand on their own merits based on the Bible and if they are believed or not then that is up the individual, but these thematic arguments about PL's sins , BB's, Titus Chu, and WL' motives are not relevant when evaluating these and other truths.
