Thanks for the clarification Terry - When I used "denomination" I was referring to any church meeting outside of the LSM denom.
Asking which denomination I was speaking about points to the flaw in your thinking - you've been trained to think this way - This thinking does allow you to divide God's children and place them into a box that you have predetermined as ________. This makes things simple, tribal almost.... I see that you made light of Ohio's comments "He knows the actual spiritual condition of every Christian on the planet, and has nothing good to say about any of them." My friend, based on many of your comments, I would have to agree with Ohio. I picture you as an older man, but spiritually immature, childish almost... I do not personally consider myself to be a great theologian or spiritual guru, I would actually say that I too am spiritually immature - but I also don't claim the same authority that you do. The leader of the LSM denom has "recovered" XYZ, my leader is the great I AM.
During my time in the "LC", countless Lord's day, table, home, trainings, etc I found an undercurrent of LSM good vs. Christianity bad in essentially 100% of my interactions. This was NOT usually the case when I met with brothers individually - which I find interesting. How much corporate worship, brotherly encouragement, joyful celebrations, scripture, can be shared outside of the 60-90 minutes allotted on a Sunday morning?
