Can’t wait to get to Beulah Land!
What is your thoughts on Watchman Nee?
I recall a a website called, “Watch Out for Watchman Nee”, I don’t recall the content though. I know of a man called, Witness Lee, who was closely associated with Nee and that that man formed a cult call “The Local Church” started in China, the cult’s HQ was in California.. I had an experience in the Local Church cult, but before I get to that let me tell you something about them.
Their mission and Bible is call “The Lord Recovery”.
The MO of the cult is they would start the cult “church’s” in university cities such as Baton Rouge and call then the Local Church of that city, there is a Local Church of Baton Rouge. In the Local Church you’ll possibly will find Chinese people and college educated in them, I don’t know about other Local Church church’s, but the Baton Rouge one had them and I assume that was commonplace to have the Chinese and the highly educated present.
The Local Church cult takes scripture out of context in which to built there false religion upon; I believe the following is the verse they use. Acts2:21, the apostle Peter quoted the Old Testament prophet Joel:
In the Local Church cult the attendant’s say the name the name of Jesus, using repetition, over and over again and they believe that that is calling upon the name of the Lord.
I contacted the Local Church of Baton Rouge representative and attended my first meeting with them. My discernment had previously been destroyed by the difficulties in my life at that time.
A man and myself mutually befriended each other to the extent that I have been to his home. I began to balk, privately, at their vain repetition. I mean it was like this, ‘Lord Jesus, r i g h t (in the affirmative and stretched out), amen, Lord Jesus. By my second meeting with them I had had quite enough, I got up during the meeting and walked out, outside I lingered, waiting for someone to run after me. I had contact with one of them a principal man of the “church”, but I was done with the Local Church.
But Pastor Adrian, what about Watchman Lee, if you know of anything, his associate Lee when off the deep end, but what about Nee. I do believe that Nee wrote a very wonderful book called “The Normal Christian Life” and if is allowed here is an online copy.
Excerpt:
The Apostle Paul gives us his own definition of the Christian life in Galatians 2:20. It is “no longer I, but Christ”. Here he is not stating something special or peculiar—a high level of Christianity. He is, we believe, presenting God’s normal for a Christian, which can be summarized in the words: I live no longer, but Christ lives His life in me.
On the book page you can select your preference of Bible that the page displays, click on the cog which is ‘setting’.
My opinion: Most Christians are not normal, but average Christian’s, the average Christian is not a normal Christian, do you get that?
