Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance.

The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal.
So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God;
And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.

My friend, Bible-believer,
I am here to tell you that it is not your fault that you are confused. You are confused for a good reason. You are confused because Witness Lee was confused. The Athanasian Creed uses the term "confounding the persons", but in modern English it is actually "confusing the persons". Witness Lee confused the Father with the Son. Then he confused the Son with the Spirit. When Lee was challenged about his heresy, he called his detractors "blind moo-cows" who did not have an ear to hear "the heavenly music". Instead of coming up with some sensible, biblical logic behind his teachings, he always resorted to insulting his critics.

Then just when one wouldn't think that things could get worse, Witness Lee taught that "Because the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are all one with the Body of Christ, we may say that the Triune God is now the 'four-in-one God'." This is rank heresy. Nowhere did the Lord Jesus or the Scripture writing apostles even faintly imply that the Body of Christ is to be considered part of, or equal to, the Trinity. This kind of nonsense springs directly from Lee's notion that "the believers become the reproduction, expansion, and physical continuation of the incarnate and incorporate Son of God" (as quoted by LSM spokesman Kerry Robichaux) Again, nowhere did the Lord Jesus or the Scripture writing apostles ever teach such a thing.

In the coming days I hope to be providing some examples of healthy, orthodox teachings and views regarding the Trinity. I think that Trapped has got us off to a good start with post #15.
