I do get Lee's logic, and understand it's support within his immediate community. However, there's one problem - nowhere do I see NT usage giving him precedent. Neither Paul nor Jesus or the gospelists, all of whom quoted extensively, ever took this approach. So, he has no basis, except for his own fallen human reasoning, which, btw, I don't trust anymore, as he was clearly shot through with bias & self interest.
However, I must add that I appreciate your coming on this forum and defending your perspective. It takes a lot of personal courage and honesty to admit there are serious issues in the LC, even while you hold the teachings. Many collapse and give up the faith, as the strain is too great. They just chuck everything. So I've no doubt that your voice is a beacon to many.
My point is simple - there's a pattern of reception in the NT, and WL breaks that pattern.
