What's sad about Nee's view is it is actually narcissistic. It's all about HIS spiritual condition. It's not about the need of another. He doesn't pray for the wife because he wants to be "pure." But that's actually selfish. What about the wife's inherent value in herself? What about her need? What about the Lord's love for her? It's not considered at all here.

It's really childish to be thinking "I don't want to pray for someone because I'm still natural." What you need to do is get to a place where you can pray for her. But Nee is too wrapped up in being "spiritual."

Imagine a firefighter thinking "I can't go into that building to save that person from dying because my motivations are too natural. So I'll just them burn up. See how spiritual I am?"

It's really that stupid.
