The writers refused, even though they were incorrect. I agree that we should always act in a loving manner, and Christ teaches us to turn the other cheek, not just with other christians, but with all men. However, there was no violence involved in them asking the Law to intervene on their behalf, I believe most people would do the same if they had been nationally slandered. The Lord also champions the truth. In monetary gain on the part of Nee/Lee I would find questionable. I do not, by the way, agree with the doctrine of Brother Lee and associates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The comments and spelling herein are mine and nobody else lays claim to them. ================================================================ Lonnie D.
