Re: Double Standards
Thanks for your comment and validation on the thoughts I offered on my post. In my statement I meant to highlight, (tho I didn't do it very well) the contradiction that the LC goal is to remove division but it's reality is it is responsible for creating division, not only between: groups of believers, also between individuals ( It's beliefs causing unnecessary personal conflicts), but then also within a person, (cognitive dissonance). All to avoid WLs own personal responsibility for his guidance of the LC.
The way I see it, it goes back to the steps of Adam and eve at the fall. They: 1.disobeyed, 2. Hid, 3.lied, 4. Blame-shifted. (Adam blamed eve, eve blamed snake). My focus here on step 4.WL blamed the rest of christianity for having faults, and created a church system where his followers carry the cost (blame) to protect him from taking responsibility for his errors and faults.
And this is the outcome. The very division, at even more and damaging levels, that he thought he could so easily avoid. And the people go on paying the cost for his unreality so long after his death!
That is such a salutary lesson to us all. Don't get carried away with ourselves! As a humbled, Christ-confessing Sylvester Stallone recently confessed to the news media...for a while he believed his own hype! But not anymore.
How does it seem to think S Stallone is in a better standing with our Lord than WL, (as far as we can tell?)
