I really dont know why they tolerate him.


Perhaps some tolerate my participation because they notice that you, though you hurl names and insults, are never able to effectively prove what I wrote was not biblical.
You are living in a delusion. People think you have serious mental and emotional issues. You quote from a manipulated bible created by Watchman Nee or some other cult leader, and your doctrine runs contrary to Christ. Ghost, an atheist has read sufficient of Witness Lee's writings, and has posted some rather disturbing doctrines from him which claim to be Christian.

Say 'O Lord' 3 times and you are saved? Really ??

Some time ago you were carrying on about numerology, 7s and 12s. These things and condemned in the bible and its the work and doctrine of Satan.

First, three and numerology have nothing to do with this.

Secondly, Jehovah God Himself encoraged Israel at one point that He would answer them even BEFORE they called - so willing is He to save men who decide to turn their hearts to Him.

Isaiah 65:24

"And it will be that before they call, I will answer; Even while they are speaking, I will hear."

The thing God is impressing them with here is His utter WILLINGNESS to save man.
In the early 70s when saints in the local churches were learning to preach the gospel, Bother Lee gave some encouragement concerning the WILLINGNESS of God and the EAGERNESS of God to hear and save those who turn to Him.

Twisting this to portray Lee as teaching unbelief and unbelieving mechanical chanting is the way of salvation is misrepresentative.

What police force do you think YOU are on to forbid people to call once, twice, or three times?

[b]"And it will be that BEFORE they call, I will answer; Even while they are speaking, I will hear." (Isaiah 65:24) [/b[

Here God is teaching that He is SO very WILLING and WANTING to save us.
Isaiah 65:24

"And it will be that before they call, I will answer; Even while they are speaking, I will hear."


Forget about having to call three times. IF you turn your heart to the Lord He may answer you even before you get the words out.

Think of the parable of the prodigal son. The prodigal son returns in shame with a speech ready to give his father whom he is jilted.

The loving and waiting father is so eagerly waiting for his son to return that he RUNS to him seeing him afar off. Jesus was showing the willingness of the Father God to rush to us with pardon and forgiveness.

See Luke 15:11-32.

In this spirit once Witness Lee encouraged the gospel preaching brothers and sisters that the eager Savior will save sinners even when they come with a little faith to turn to Jesus - calling on His name.

It is pure ignorance on the part of some critics that the END of all matters is just to speak to the Lord calling on His name.

There is a time and a place for various things. There is a time to bring men into contact, their FIRST contact with Jesus Christ. It is rather mysterious to pin point at what nanosecond the unbeliever becomes a believer. Many of you who have been regenerated know full well that in one moment you didn't want God and somehow in the next moment you had faith and wanted Him.

It is a mercy that any Christian got saved from their former unwillingness and unbelief. Ghost the atheist is trying to exploit the matter.

Once again, here God shows He is so willing to save that let alone three calls, even BEFORE some call He will come to rescue.

"And it will be that before they call, I will answer; Even while they are speaking, I will hear." (Isa. 65:24)

The point is that God KNOWS our heart. His understanding of our heart down to the millionth of a second is crystal clear to Him.

Who knows always the threshold nanosecond when a willing man goes from unbelief to belief and the Holy Spirit of God rushes into His heart with all the divine eagerness of a father waiting for his estranged son to return.

Did Witness Lee remove this passage from his fake bible

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.(1 Peter 3:12 KJV)

There are several such statements like these. Note the wording -
It did not say the eyes of the Lord are over the faithful
It did not say the eyes of the Lord are over those saved by Grace
It did not say the eyes of the Lord are over the Christians
It did not say the eyes of the Lord are over those who believe in the resurrection
It did not say the eyes of the Lord are over those who call Lord Lord 3 times

It says the eyes of the Lord are over the RIGHTEOUS and his ears are open to their prayers

Your claim that righteousness aka the keeping of the commandments are not required. So you promote and encourage EVIL

And the next part says the Lord is against them that do evil, and therefore his ears are closed to their prayers

The ignorance around here is from your mouth.
Christians who listen to this FALSE TEACHER SONSHIP, take note.

Do you know what righteousness in the Holy Bible means? It means to have right standing with God.

You very deceptively write “righteousness aka the keeping of the commandments” when righteousness means no such thing.

Righteousness means right standing with God.

How does one obtain right standing with God?

Let’s hear from Jesus Christ on that:

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

(John 6:40)

Let’s hear from the Apostle Paul too:

“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”

(Galatians 2:21)

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

(Galatians 2:16)

And here comes another of your fabricated church expressions to add to the long line of madeup words, designed to twist the bible

Right standing with God
Its not in the bible


Here are some others :
Trinity
Truine
Relationship with God
Relationship with Christ
Personal Relationship with God
Personal Relationship with Chrsit
Intimate Relationship with God
Intimate Relationship with Christ

And Christians use these expression, add in their own meanings which are contradictory to the bible. So here it is

Keeping the commandments is not important and is not righteousness [Jesus said it is ]
Right standing with God [NOT IN THE BIBLE AT ALL}... now that is important
LOL ,,,,😀


Your doctrine is baloney.

This thread will be able Christ revealed in the Old Testament sometimes as the Angel of Jehovah. How this Messenger of Jehovah and Jehovah Himself are virtually interchangeable.

It may help with some Bible readers weary of God's triune-ness.

What part of John 6:40, Galatians 2:21 and Galatians 2:16 did you not understand?

Right standing with God means the same as justified before God.

And you don’t think you can have a relationship with the Lord?

You really need (imo) to pray to God and ask Him to open your eyes, ears, heart and mind to His love for you. Stop viewing God as a demanding tyrant and start viewing Him as a loving Father - because a loving Father is what He is!

You can’t earn favor with God - no one can. Salvation is a gift from God.

It is important to see that Paul said that Jesus was not only the sinners' propitiation but our PLACE of propitiation. Jesus is a place where propitiation for sins takes place - in Him, ON Him if you will.

Sure that's what Paul teaches. Right here. The Recovery Version really brings it our in translation.

"Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Whom God set forth as a propitiation place through faith in His blood, . . . " (Rom. 3:24,25a) RcV)

copied carefully as possible by hand, the footnote of says -

"In the Old Testament, the expiation cover, the lid of the Ark, as a type, was hidden in the Holy of Holies; in the New Testament, Christ as the propitiation place, the reality of the expiation cover, is openly set forth before all men."

If we pray for him . . . maybe God will have mercy to take away the veil from his eyes.

The Scripture says Christ is the PLACE of propitiation. The KJV called that place where the blood was sprinkled on the Ark "the mercy seat".

Other English versions render Romans 3:24 as "propitation".
Ie.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
God presented Him as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

American Standard Version
whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;


It is in the Greek a PLACE. And Holmans Christian Standard Bible realized this and translated it "mercy seat" a PLACE.

Christian Standard Bible
God presented him as the mercy seat by his blood, through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.


The Literal Standard Version also faithfully translate that Christ is that PLACE upon which the propitiation took place.
Literal Standard Version
whom God set forth [as] a propitiatory covering, through faith in His blood, for the showing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the former sins in the forbearance of God


Darby's New Translation also rendered it "mercy seat" a PLACE.
Darby Bible Translation
whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;


The Recovery Version at the moment is the only version I see rendering this HILASTERION as the "propitiation place"

"Whom God set forth as a PROPITIATION PLACE through faith in His blood . . . " [my caps].

The footnote is long on verse 25 by Brother Lee. But includes these words.

"In the Old Testament, the expiation cover, the lid of the Ark, as a type . . ."

"The propitiation place is typified in Exo. 25:17 by the sin-covering lid on the Ark. The Ark was the place where God . . . The Ark was the place where God met His people, In the Ark was the law of the Ten Commandments, which by its holy and righteous requirement exposed and condemned the sins of the people who came to contact God, However, by the lid of the Ark, with the propitiating blood sprinkled on it on the Day of Expiation, the entire situation on the sinner's side was fully covered. Therefore, upon this sin-covering lid God could meet with the people who broke His righteous law, and He could do this without, governmentally, contradiction to His righteousness, even under the observing of the cherubim that bore His glory and overshadowed the lid of the Ark."

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ is our PLACE of propitiation where man can meet with God. He is the HILASTERION where the hilaskomai (Heb 2:17) takes place as an action.

Ever seen the film Beetlejuice? Same MO. Just need to say his name 3 times for him to appear. Could be that the director got the idea from Witness Lee.
