Welcome to the forum ZNPaaneah!

This kind of reminds me of that adage - "it's possible to be sincere, but sincerely wrong". Likewise, I think most of us had some genuine experiences of Christ, and yes even the Church, in the Local Church. Yet at the very same time we were being deceived. In my observation and experience this is the work of the enemy. If he can get us to a place where we are close to the truth, but keep us at arm’s length from the actual truth, or the whole truth, most of his work is done. Well meaning and religious people will do the rest of the work for him.

Again welcome to the forum and we look forward to your participation.

I am thankful to God for all of my remembrances of the saints in the LC.
