It's a fact, in a typical denomination I could count the number of times Christ is mentioned on my right hand. Soon, the majority of Christians will be "loving the Lord" by decorating a tree and singing Jingle Bells.

The Christ mentioned so often in the LC is a made-up concoction from the Nee & Lee fantasy factory. One who despises the poor, ignores the weak, goes after the 'good building material', who has no good works but only rhetoric. A Christ who is needy, manipulative, controlling, who elevates some members over others - 'spiritual giants', anyone? - and generally behaves very much like the Gentiles do, which should be no surprise because he is their product.

Evangelical, You should have called yourself Javert. It would have been more fitting.

That's like saying if your wife cheats on you it's okay as long as she loves you in her heart.

No, it's like saying it's okay to be divisive as long as you meet "on the local ground."

Your analogy has no connection to reality. Try to think about what you saying.

Evangelical, do you think that you (or anyone else in the LC) ever does anything as displeasing to the Lord as singing 'Jingle Bells'?

I'm sure we do or have done. We are no better than anybody else.

Yet somehow, that's not what you convey.
