'Ground of the Church'

Bradley, your experience has been the same as many others. For example, "the church of the Torontonians" was legitimized by LSM since the preferred name was already taken. During the Midwest quarantines, LSM operatives helped local loyalists to file lawsuits for real estate, assets, and THE NAME.

Tell me again about that church with no name filing lawsuits over names!

This is why I don't like to waste time discussing their ground of oneness teaching. They only use it to condemn all others. They never abide by these teachings themselves, but have a long history of breaking the rules.

I prefer to respond as the Lord Jesus did to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees -- expose it and rebuke it. The disciples were also greatly bothered by the Pharisee hypocrisy, but in time they got over it by spending time with Jesus.
