Default Re: The LC's Flawed Basis Of Discernment

This is something that has really caught my attention for some time.

I remember singing the LRC song (to the tune of "Since I Have Been Redeemed") that went:
The feelings do not change the facts
Jesus is Lord of all
The problem was that while that is actually a true statement, to the LRC the feelings are the absolute filter for the interpretation of facts. They are saying that if you are an overcoming child of God, you should not pay any attention to your feelings and instead just find exhilaration in declaring that Jesus is Lord of all.

There was something that had you up or down. If you were up, it was God. If you were down, it was Satan or the world. No need to consider that you might be down because you were out of place with God, or that God was dealing with you. Just turn to your spirit, get out of your mind, and find that good feeling again.

So, the real understanding of that song line should have been "Jesus is Lord of all no matter how you feel. But you should never feel bad, so don't worry about why you feel bad. Just ignore it and turn to your spirit (not God/Christ/The Spirit) and you will feel better."
