I try to be fair and share only that first.
Otherwise, I can do that second with any sentence of any man.

Robert,
When Watchman Nee says "God will not allow you to become attached to your wife"......this is not simply 'taken out of context'. It is a lie. It is not true. It reminds me of some of those pop-Christian YouTube videos out there with thumbnails that say things like "10 weird things God will do before He allows a special person to come into your life!" Actually that's a bad comparison.....it doesn't remind me of them because it's much worse than them.
It's not according to biblical truth. It is not defensible. It belongs in the dark because it is not of the light. It DOES indeed fall into the first category of "unbiblical idea".
You absolutely CAN be attached to your wife, and STILL give God the pre-eminence. "Becoming one flesh" while simultaneously "not being attached" is just more nonsense from Watchman Nee.
