And what happens when there is disagreement between apostles? It just turns into a death match which in the end no can really win, but just leaves a trail of damage and confusion. That's the history of the LR.

I think this is the healthy understanding of most Evangelical Christians. The church can give contemporary "gifts" to the body some special honor for their work, whether ministers, evangelists, or scholars. Whenever a man has been elevated to apostolic authority, whether Pope or Oracle or MOTA, the fruit has never been good for the church. I challenge anyone to point out one minister or servant of God whose ministry should be revered as the original Apostles.

The downfall of LSM and the LC's coincided with Lee's elevation to apostolic status as MOTA. Simultaneous to that was Lee's teachings superseding the scripture in importance. Today in the LC's, they read Lee and the Blendeds instead of the actual word of God.

During the quarantines, I was specifically told that "returning to the pure word of God was a tactic of the enemy." How could the Lord, the Head of the body, ever rescue a church which believes that?
