"What pit ye digged, ye have fallen into", said the psalmist, and Jesus echoed with "What therefore ye would have done to yourself, do therefore unto others." In the divine view, "other" becomes the stand-in for the true "self". Only by embracing, blessing the "other" do we become freed from the Adamic curse. If we contrarily revile and curse, so we do to our own self.

What happened to the passive and silent LC crowds who sat under these curses? They vicariously partook the judgment. By silently acquiescing to the curse, they agreed to put themselves under it. Now the way back home to the Father was apparently sealed shut, because it was closed to rapprochement with fellow believers.

The LC cut themselves off with the curse. ...

The LC cut themselves off with the curse, or, did Lee's judgmental spirit spoken toward others came back upon him "with the same judgment (he) pronounced"? It seems that judgment and "curse" may be closely related.
