Quix, I checked on this Lee character...I don’t think this statement by him at all reflects that which I made. I in no way at all agree with the following....
Lee cared little for the acceptance of his contemporaries. He wrote,
“We do not care for Christianity, we do not care for Christendom, we do not care for the Roman Catholic church, and we do not care for all the denominations, because in the Bible it says that the great Babylon is fallen. This is a declaration. Christianity is fallen, Christendom is fallen, Catholicism is fallen, and all the denominations are fallen.”....... ( This is quite ridiculous and as far as I’m concerned denies the faith.)
However Quix, Christians do share a common understanding of Christianity.... the centrality of Christ and salvation thru Him. That was the point of what I wrote. Also that though denominations have their individual doctrines and creeds Christ says we are part of the universal church of the believers with He Himself as the Head. So I have no problem believing we are united in Him, by His Spirit, despite our differences.
I see in both Catholic and Protestant beliefs that which I also believe...I also see that which I don’t and we disagree then. But those I see on this thread, and which I hold dearest also, is we share the foundational belief..... “Christ in me the Hope of Glory.”
Well, I think Lee seems to have been yet another whose position went to His head as He developed his own following. He became his own God.
Glad to read that.
I think your analysis of Lee is correct.
Watchman Nee was a faithful servant of the Most High God to the end. His ‘disciple’ Witness Lee ended up somewhere else, imho.
I mean when every last scrap of Sunday School lesson, translation, hymn etc. are all authored by Witness Lee and him only . . .
SOMEONE has a BIG ego problem, imho.
