But, honestly, I don't see anything wrong with running a museum in Israel whose intent is to show that the true good land is Jesus.

And "The All-Inclusive Christ" was one of WL's least offensive teachings.

I understand pointing out the hypocrisy of the LCM denouncing Christianity's gospel "gimmicks" while doing the same kind of thing itself. At the same time there is nothing really wrong with using a museum to spread the truth.

Ironically, the willingness of the LCM to do this kind of thing is actually a reform on their part. Welcome to the daunting challenge of getting the gospel out in a sophisticated, ever-changing world.

Now if they just stop bashing Christianity for doing the same kind of things they are now doing.

Igzy, this is exactly the issue. The LC cannot do all of these things and at the same time claim to be all of the things it claims to be (or claims not to be).

I for one am against these sorts of gimmicks in the LC and do not contribute to them. Also, supporting physical Israel or focusing on physical Israel seems contrary to all of the spiritual realities.
