Soul-Life, Kundalini, and Watchman Nee

[Jo S]

Although I have an idea, I can't fully understand what you guys have been through in the LC's. I do pray the Lord's healing on all you who are still fighting to try to understand. Even though this isn't necessarily my fight, I'm gladly standing along side you and all those in the LC I've gotten to know along the way.

I know it's difficult to separate the men from their teachings but I would really ask to try and keep more focus on the doctrines themselves and their pretenses.

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Our fight shouldn't be against Lee or Nee but on exposing the entity behind the lies. It's easy to put all the blame these men, they were deceived the same as you, but it's Satan that seems to always get away unnoticed and scot-free in these circumstances. The Lord will be their judge.

There's a line from Isaiah 40: "Lift your eyes and look to the heavens/who created all these?" The prophet was trying to get those ensnared by idols of wood and stone and brass to lift up their consciousnesses, their views, towards the Eternal One. One day I decided to believe in the existence of God. It seemed that all of creation demanded of me that I acknowledge, at least in principle, a Creator. At some point further on I confessed Jesus as Lord, which set me on a path. In this I am no different than Watchman Nee or the apostle Paul, or any other professing believer.

Now we should test any arguments for pretense, especially our own! There are a lot of poorly reasoned ideas out there, that should be called out. People have been badly stumbled by them. People have become disillusioned, cynical, frustrated, discouraged, dispirited. We should call out bad ideas, always knowing we're no better than anyone else.

Jesus has been tested and approved, and is worthy of every accolade. As for the rest, it waits. We should presume nothing.

And it's to this point I hope all those involved in the LC's can return to for a fresh start and relearn the truth directly from the source of truth. I see the struggle with many lies in the belief that there are still somethings to salvage.
