I left the Local Church After Reading the Real Church History

Oh, I just want life! I have been so dry and down and am so desperate for life!"

So what became of 1 Corinthians 13:13 in the LC/LSM? But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
hmmm??

And if a person is so bothered by being so dry and down and desperate for 'life', 1 John 5:14-15 says This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

Seems to me needing 'life' is an easy fix.

Btw, I remember those days of balling up your fists and punching the air. I think it it gives Matthew 11:12 a new spin: From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.
