Choosing to See No Iniquity in Israel

[Ohio]

In Steve's article, he quotes these comments from a friend of his in the LC's ...

The time that I do have I must spend in the current ministry, which is building up the Body of Christ. I don't have time to look back at the past. As brother Lee made clear long ago, we would be foolish to look for bones and feathers when there is fresh meat to eat.

If you feel it your calling to do that, then please don't involve me in your endeavor. From the Lord's view, he doesn't see any iniquity in Israel or the church. If the Lord doesn't see it, then I also will choose to not see iniquity.

I was this way myself, since I spent my best 30 years in the Recovery, so I can readily understand this dear brother quite well.

But let's look at what we can conclude from what Steve's friend has told us ...

• Lee has convinced us that only his ministry is for the "building up of the body of Christ"
• Lee convinced us that only his ministry was "fresh meat to eat"
• Why is it that Lee could regularly condemn all of Christianity, and no one dared to challenge him about eating all the "bones and feathers" there?
• How did Lee ever convince us that it was OK to constantly "see iniquity" in the body of Christ, but not in his Recovery?
