Outer Darkness?

That one who constantly looked out for "ambition" in his flock, himself held such a reservoir as to presume be God's sole mouthpiece on earth today. And the sycophants crowded round, genuflecting and amenning. I don't know if it's funny or sad. But I guess I just like to laugh.

So well said about that "devil" AMBITION. Lee could see "ambition" in everyone else, but not himself. Neither in his sons, Timothy and Phillip.

And where's that verse that condemns "ambition?" Apostle Paul told us that he was always "ambitious" to please the Lord. Yet Poor Paul would have been quarantined by Lee, along with John Ingalls and John So and so many others, and sent into "outer darkness" for the "unforgiveable" sin of ambition.
