So yes, it seemed he saw it everywhere but anyone could discern that all of the teachings were inferred or interpreted from typology. So then, even if it were a genuine teaching the apostles kept it secret from most Christians. Why? Also, if the apostles wouldn't say this plainly, why are you, that is to leave the apostle's fellowship.

I stayed in the LC's because the Lord brought me there. In the end I left, not because LSM was so bad, but because my LC became unbearable. It was only after I left, did I find the Berean forum, Ingalls' book, and began to "examine all things." (Rom 12.2; I Thess 5.21)

What is the temptation here that led us astray?

The N.T. has many warnings for the believers, yet very little chastisement for those who have been deceived. In my case, I definitely trusted the brothers far more than I should have. Many took advantage of me, yet none would ever apologize for it. It took a few seriously bitter experiences to teach me that these LC leaders were often self-serving, and not to be trusted. After I left, I then realized how right I was to leave.
