The 3rd letter submitted by Brother Michael Young to the IA on Sept 3 2012 Part 19

4.7
My hope and my prayer

From gleaning the truth from the Bible and spreading the gospel perspective, one may
conclude that the debate over Preacher YM Yang’s interpretations of origin of Satan was
a problem that was originally not difficult to resolve. However, because Elder Lin
handled this debate with various deceptive means, a simple dispute was quickly distorted
and transformed into a convoluted mess that is quite different from the original debate.
Such changes of the debate have much to do with specific administrative lapses of the IA.
In fact, the IA’s administrative lapses (such as distortion of facts, false accusations
against the innocent, fabrication of documents, controlling of public opinion, baselessly
attacking the other party, and not giving a fair trial…etc.) have

a. bringing shame to the true God in heaven, the church and all her members),

b. have exacerbated a dispute that originally simply concerned a difference in the
interpretation of certain Bible verses (see Section 4.6), and

c. have resulted in the handling and resolution of the incident of Preacher YM Yang in
March 2012 being full of errors and being neither just nor righteous.

In the face of current situation, the church needs to overcome all its internal and external
difficulties and have the courage to 1) face reality and admit the administrative blunders
made over the past few years in the handling of the Pr. YM Yang Incident, and 2) elect an
independent review board to investigate and deal anew with the case under the guidance
of the Holy Spirit, so that the true church may recover her most precious truthfulness and
honesty and return to the bosom of the Lord.

The independent review board needs to
-1) carefully and patiently review all pertinent
documents,
-2) arrange these document s chronologically, and
-3) cross-reference and compare what Preacher Yang said on a subject vs. what Elder Lin accused Pr. Yang of doing and how Elder Lin communicate his opinion on the subject matter to others. Once
this task is completed, the ins and outs and causes and consequences of the dispute and
misunderstanding on each subject between these two church workers will be made clear.

The Holy Spirit of God will surely grant the Review Board wisdom to

---1. separate the original issue from the derived/distorted issues, which resulting
from the IA’s administrative deficiencies,
---2. negate or resolve all the derived/distorted issues,
---3. discuss and comment on the validity of the original issue,
---4. identify the wrongs of each party and resolve their disputes that have dragged on
for 6–7 years satisfactorily and amicably

I sincerely hope that, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and with the help of gifted
elders, Elder Lin and Preacher YM Yang will be able to quieten their hearts and meet
with each other to resolve their differences before the elders of the church, to truly repent
before God and man, and once again work diligently for the sake of the gospel. I hope
that they will be able to use the gifts that God has granted them of preaching the good
news of salvation, and be joyful and contented with this, instead of putting their efforts
into trying to gain the upper hand in the dispute.
