One thing that has always chafed me is taking one word from the Bible and making a doctrine. Lately we have talked about blended, blending etc for one. Surely this is a poor translation to begin with because of the context. You grind up an eye, ear, and foot together and you have none of the three. Paul says the eye needs the ear. And you know all the comparisons from this part of I believe 1 Cor. It is insane to speculate that as some have suggested we are aiming at a huge smoothie.

How many messages have we heard on the Lord became a spirit. How many on "the" Spirit was not yet? How many on Isa 9:6. How many on God's economy? Now it just looks like plain dishonesty which is another way of saying WL was lying and then his minions continued the lie.

My background before coming to the LC was pentecost. I have no problem admitting there were real problems among these people but I knew of many who were sincerely for the Lord. And besides, the tongues and miracles things is clearly in the Bible. I would never had a problem with WL saying I don't understand the situation and leaving it alone but to boldly state "we don't need these things in the church today." Who was he to make such a call. I've never known of an apostle in my whole life. If I had been told that WL was an apostle when I first came, I would never have come. Near my business there was a group of people who just loved apostles, prophets, bishops, etc. and I easily considered them crackpots. Paul talked about signs of apostles. What signs of apostleship did WL have. Dishonesty, immorality, cutting up the Bible are not signs. Excuse me, they are signs, but not of apostleship.
