Re: Are All Christian Groups Spiritual Fornicators?
John Thumper commented at Jo's OP which I think this is a response to my thread.
Quote:
Dan Sady and Matt Miller at DCP – come respond to this:
It is a well-known fact by those in the local churches that the local churches look down on denominations for “taking a name”, which name really reflects the particular Biblical interpretation attached to that name. Lutherans identify with the teachings of Martin Luther. Baptists are distinguished by baptizing only adult believers, and by immersion only. Presbyterians are distinguished by their church government based on assemblies of elders. Methodists follow the teachings of Wesley, etc.
And let’s be crystal clear: the local churches follow the teachings and practices of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee.
In the New Testament, Jesus is clear that the outward standard is no longer sufficient. No longer is the just the outward act of murder a problem, but the inward anger too. No longer is just the outward act of adultery a problem, but the inward lust too.
Do you really think that God is deceived by your trumpeting that you don’t outwardly take a name, when your internal practices do just that, and at a worse level than the denominations you decry?
-All the local churches have to use Nee and Lee’s ministry materials.
-All the local churches attend the conferences and trainings started by Lee.
-The college students are heavily pressured to give up two years of their life to go to a school started by Lee and whose curriculum is almost 100% Lee’s books and interpretations.
-No one in the local churches can publish and disseminate anything unless it is LSM who publishes Nee and Lee.
-All members are expected to read Lee's words every morning and re-speak those words on Sundays.
Even denominations aren’t as bad as that. If you want to claim denominations are divisive, then at least admit what you are: divisive AND hypocritical.
Defend and confirm this.
