This morning on the Jo Casteel FB page there was a post by one who defended the LC as "a particular and unique place" to meet with others as a Christian. It's actually part of a veiled threat, which folks like LSM President BP have made blunt: "If you leave us, you will have no way to go on, spiritually."

And it is the same ploy the RCC made in the 17th century with Luther, and the Anglicans 200 years later with Wesley.

But only Jesus is the "unique and particular place" for both God and His chosen people. Jesus is the way. The New Way was an invention of fallen humans, like so many "moves" and "flows". It was only particular and unique in its manner of deviation.

Jesus' claims of exclusivity were validated by resurrection and ascension. LC claims of exclusivity, by contrast, have fostered and covered a long train of abuses.
