Though I can serve with/support her as per Matthew 23:3, para justificar la mentira, Rev. Laura Lin no se permite servir con el mi ministerio, as per Matthew 23:3b, 1 Kings 13.
Dr. Tong would be coming to New York for Gospel Rally this year and our church will be responsible to oversee the process. Though I am part of the group planning this, I would also have my own distribution of the flyers, without their hand, like last year. If they really do wish to distribute, they may spare whatever excuses they have in "partnership with me" and distribute.
Recalling not long ago, when I was telling her how more active an legal immigrant Christian should be than out of status Christians in America, she replied: "What does immigration status has to do with serving in church or something like that", I was almost speechless, ending up saying how God says: To whomever more is given, more is required of him.
Now, I suddenly realized why I was "almost speechless". It is unbelievable. These aristocratic types are truly amazing. Recalling Marie Antoinette's legendary statement: "Let them eat cake", it sure explains a lot about the pastor's response.
It seems that Laura Lin's been praising me to others, for whatever reason.
They passed their time in church, still no one could teach. They spent time talking about what's moral instead of what's holy, their children don't hang with them. The whole time in America, the only chief desire most have is probably a good long vacation.
Who I am that is good, that's God made. The medium that brought me up, this church cannot take the credit because I've learned what I teach from other churches other fellowships. This church and pastor needs to produce their own heir and not steal from outside. Either that, or they recognize or admit their spiritual barrenness.
Clearly, it is either this case or that she is really that stupid-for the praise is over absurd.
According to her:
1. If it is for the good of others, lie is good.
(White lies are still lies, thus, sinful)
2. If it is for promoting someone good, exaggerated flattery is good.
(Inaccurate judgment is false testimony, thus sinful)
因为她是以人为主，不是以福音为主， 所以我不能随便与她同工，以免让她在我面前为了人际关系故意羞辱真理，羞辱主的教训，羞辱主名。
她宁可为了人际关系出卖真理。
By far the best, simplest answer I have regarding CCCNY: By implication, Rev. Laura Lin basically was asking me to treat goats as sheep. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, guessing that she might deny it. But after a good time spent at CCCNY, I simply cannot continue believing otherwise.
An easy response to most praise from Rev. Lin:
I support your support. (Meaning I support your vision, which only is to support those who loves God, hence I support your support. Of course, I don't support your vision, your vision is no vision, but we are all servants of God, I support your such support in service to God. I don't support nor agree your prioritization of reputation over faith as a doctrine. But all in all, I just need to say: I support your support, because I know you have no care for anything more.)
Another example of her childishness in the following email chain, I'm not sure if it's her typo, language incompetent or something:
Laura Lin

No. He just arrived in nyc. He doesn't have telephone line or any internet service. He wanted to ask Jiang Hui about which internet service is good for his apt and cell phone combined.
But, maybe it's too simple and basic for you to answer. Please ignore my email question. Thanks anyway.
Have a prosper year ahead.

Dear pastor, I'm not sure I understand. Are you referring to setting up a voicemail for Jilin?

Dear Tim,
Do you have any suggestion on Jilin's voice?
Thanks,

她的事奉是个埋怨的事奉。
这是我第一次，也可能是我唯一一次用圣经不主张女人做牧师的现实原因之一来评林牧师的位份：
林牧师，如一般的女人，做了母亲，爱把自己的孩子看得比别人的孩子还重。这唐牧师本人也曾说过，是女人的毛病。虽然她没结婚生孩子，但是常常会把唐家的孙女孙子，或是她其他的好友及家人看得比较重要。甚至把我看为比刘崇佑更重要，因为我在教会待得比较久，做的事情也比较多，所以她自己的自私决定替上帝呼召人，不把 Michael 放在眼里。没有察看等待上帝的旨意，行动。连谁对一件事有兴趣，谁没有兴趣都分不清。
这，就是女人的一般毛病之一。可惜她当初一直没客服这点，以至于影响到更大的失败。她其余的教牧事工通常都还不错。
唐崇荣牧师曾以女人怀孕不方便在台上讲到为现实原因。
在原理上，女人可不可做牧师，我与唐牧师的看法是很接近的。其实，林美云牧师的看法也可能相近。
