Allow me to use this example,
The process of baking a cake: Mix eggs, flour, yeast, and water well, and then bake it. You have a cake. It's no longer flour, eggs, yeast, and water.
Lee's "processed God" is similar to the process above. He mixed the Triune God with man to form a four-in-one god. When he did that,
he changed the attributes of God. God is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent, but man is not. Lee's processed god is no longer the God in the Bible. To balance his radical statement, he said that God wants man to become "god" in life and in nature, but not in the Godhead.
Without Godhead, it’s not God. So, what’s the point for him to come up with his terminology in the first place since he knows it's going to cause problems？ Why would he rather waste so much time expounding his "terminology?" Why wouldn't he save the precious time preaching the Gospel to win souls to God? I don't know. But I know why Lucifer falls.
“Wise in his own conceit.”
You are stuck with Lee’s terminology inextricably. I wonder if you read the verses I shared with you.
John 1:1, In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
1Tim.3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
You asked me how to explain “John 1: 14a:”
Read through the verses:
“In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh,” that is "the mystery of godliness": "God was manifest in the flesh…”.
It's not "PROCESS".
I have no opinion of Brother Lee;
however, I am against Brother Lee's teachings become the focus of LR.
Nobody compares verses with verses anymore (I don't know your locality, but mine is.)
Lee's explanation, remarks, and writings become the only standard. We
can't "freely" share what we learn from reading and studying the Bible.
We
can't say the seventh trumpet is not the trump of God because Br. Lee said it is. We
can't say when a saint dies, his soul is with the Lord in heaven, for Br. Lee said it's not... We are not allowed to say anything against Lee's teachings or
we are accused of "
ambitious", "dividing the Body". We are facing a "
my way or the high way" monarchy.
I asked, “Is the processed, four-in-one God a sound doctrine?”
And my answer is NO. I will not participate in this discussion from now on since I know the answer for sure.
2Tim. 4:3 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;”
Btw, You didn’t answer my question, “Is Jehovah Jesus?” It might be the question is too simple and doesn't deserve an answer, or it’s too difficult that you don't have an answer. Look up your Recovery Version Bible, or the Life-study of John to see what Br. Lee said. The remark he wrote in the book of John chapter 1 is probably from Gerhard Kittel. He had no clue. He didn't even know 1John 5:7.
