More Horrendous Quotes of Leeists saying they are God
Gen 3.5 "You Will become like god" - Rationalizing Witness Lee's false teachings
- see The Acting God
Should there be any doubt in your hearts that the lsm/lc system is cultic and that Ron Kangas and Witness Lee are unregenerates?
"...the truth revealed in the Word that the believers in Christ can and will become God without ceasing to be human and without encroachment on the Godhead" (Ron Kangas, Becoming God, Affirmation and Critique) - Obviously this is doublespeak, since you cannot become God even if you cease to be human and without encroachment on the Godhead. Only God is God. God always was and never became God. He is uncreated.
"Now we proceed to the process of becoming God. The believers in Christ become God through their organic union with Christ" (Ibid.)
"The believers in Christ become God through regeneration" (Ibid.) - I was regenerated, but I never became God.
"The believers in Christ become God through organic salvation" (bid.) - I was saved organically, but I never became God.
"The believers in God become God by eating God" (Ibid.) - I have eaten of the flesh of Christ and drank his blood (these are figurative in meaning), but I never became God.
"The believers become God by loving God" (Ibid.) - I certainly love God, but in so loving Him, I never become Him.
"The believers become God by function of the law of life" (Ibid.) - I didn't become God through the law of life. I have God's life, which is eternal life, but I didn't become God when that happened at new birth.
"The Goal of Becoming God" (Ibid.) - If this is your goal, understand that your salvation is a heady salvation, not authentic.
Ron Kangas makes a long appeal to Sproul because they have the same false teaching in calvinism ("he and other advocates of Reformed Theology," that is to say, calvinists who have the pride in their believing they were premade for salvation like robots). Even Sproul who suffers this pride, rejects calling himself God or a little god.
"For overcomers to be pillars in the temple means that they will be pillars in God. This involves being mingled with God, constituted with God, and built into God" (Ibid.) - Overcomers are those who receive the reward of reigning during the millennial kingdom (Rev. 20.4). Overcomers is not a term to be used for the inhabitants of the new city in the new earth, because after the millennium rewards are done away with. All the resurrected-saved inhabit the new city. God and the Lamb will be the center of the new city. Thus, we are not built into God, but pillars refers to being the foundation of the new city, that is to say, the harmonious working of God's glory enjoying eternity future in the new city. We are going to exist all about the new city, but we are not built into God, since the New City itself is not God. Therefore it is wrong to say "The Believers will be the New Jerusalelm" (Ibid.).
"The New Jerusalem is not a material city, it is not heaven, and it is not a place; the New Jerusalem is a corporate person, the processed and consummated Triune God and His redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite elect become one entity" (Ibid.) - Watchman Nee disagrees with Ron Kangas. Watchman Nee believed the New Jerusalem was a material city in his 17 point proof. The New Jerusalem is not a corporate person, but the outer sheath that will house the resurrected-saved. We will not be one entity, for God is still His own entity, but He will walk with us and be with us in the New City.
"In order to have the appearance of God, we must become God; otherwise, our appearance will become counterfeit" (Ibid.) - No! All men are made in God's image (Gen. 1.26,27) which does not require us to become God to make us not counterfeit. As well, all those whom are saved should not be treated as counterfeit being in the image of Christ if we do not become God. How absurd!
