Faith is intensely personal. Hebrews 11 gives stories of great sacrifice by those who knew their God personally. Lee's version of faith was a collective. Instead of "
all shall know Me from the little to the great," it was morphed into a degraded "
only the great one shall know Him," and all others need to follow "
the man" who knows God.
Knowing the personal voice of the Great Shepherd was constantly warned against. What about "
My sheep know My voice?" Instead we were taught never to trust our own heart and spirit. We must learn to "
trust the body," never doing anything that "
offends the body," and always endeavor to be "
one with the ministry."
Saints ended up paralyzed in the faith, living like robots, waiting for orders from headquarters, and the never ending need for more "training." We were trained to believe that the greatest sins were to be ambitious or independent.
Where's that verse in the Bible,
Drake?
