Re: Is the Processed, Four-in-One God a sound doctrine?
My brother aron, I'm sorry you would think anyone here is playing games. I'm also sorry you would think that "it's all about truth" to the exclusion of love. I'm not sure how much more plainly I can state this - this thread is about answering a question. It's an important question. It's a crucial question. It's not a game.
Witness Lee taught that God was "processed". This is not the truth. It is not the truth according to the Bible. It is not the truth according to things taught by the first generation of apostles and teachers, nor is it the truth as taught by any of the orthodox Christians in the following generations up to this very day. It is not a sound doctrine.
The church has not been mingled or incorporated into the Godhead, creating some monstrous, amalgamated "Four-in-One" God. This is not a sound doctrine. In fact, rather than being a sound, healthy doctrine, it could more appropriately be placed in the category of a "doctrine of demons" that Paul warned Timothy about (1 Tim 4:1)
Finally, I would note that at the close of the age of the New Testament, the apostle John, known as "the apostle of love", greatly emphasized "truth". To see that the saints were walking in truth gave him the greatest joy. "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."(2 John 4:4) You see, the apostle knew that love was not enough to save the children from the doctrines of demons - they needed truth. How much more today are we latter day followers of the Lord Jesus in need of truth? How much more are those of us affected by the false teachings of Witness Lee in need of truth?
