Dear Oregon,
If you look over all my posts on this board I think you can say I have been largely civil. But even after being that way no one has had the civility to honestly answer my questions.
I'd ask you to understand a certain amount of frustration on my part with people who claim to know the truth but can't answer the first questions about the practical ramifications of it, yet still act like it's the truth, yet with complete disregard for how this "truth" has plowed under the Christian lives of so many. Frankly, that makes me mad.
My goal has alway been to spare those locked into a mindset of one church per city who are in a dilemma when that church splits, as it has many times recently. In my mind, the classic LC church model can do nothing for these people. No one has stepped in correct me on this. To me this seems very callous to those victims. The LC has always looked at its members as potential cannon fodder for the outworking of their vision, in marked contrast to the Shepherd who would leave the whole flock to save one.
It's nothing personal, so I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings when I point this out. But it's a fact. The real harshness is in the implications of the LC belief and practice. My tone on this board pales by comparison.
