I think the issue is that when someone is a false teacher, with an entire ministry that is characterized by unbiblical teachings that almost cannot go a chapter, if not a page, without twisting the Bible in some way, I am not compelled in the slightest to show humility towards that false teacher or to give him credit for the occasions when he wasn't lying through his teeth in order to control people.
As far as I'm concerned, everything Witness Lee taught should be thrown out. Just disregard it. It's insignificant and hopelessly leavened. No redeeming value. I feel no need at all to give him credit for anything.
If he happened to get Galatians 2:20 completely and totally right in the midst of the countless lives he wrecked, he gets no points for it. Thousands of others have gotten Galatians 2:20 right and didn't drive people to suicide as a side effect like Lee's stuff has.
Lee wasn't a good Christian man who fumbled around trying his best to exegete Scripture. He was an egomaniacal RV salesman who thought God chose him to be the ONLY ONE ON THE PLANET He would give revelations to. He lambasted anyone who disagreed and drove to ruins anyone who called him out. He doubled down on his lies and has irreversibly destroyed lives.
Lee gets no credit for the times he happened not to lie.
That's my issue at least.
