Shawn says:
Thank you brother for humoring me,..


And thank you for humoring me as well. It's the Christian thing to do.

Shawn continues:
in doing so you redefined your thoughts that its not Lee's teachings so much...

No, I was speaking of Lee's teaching. The one Nigel exegeted concerning Lee's claim that Satan dwells in the flesh.

Shawn continues:
(most of his teaching is Christ centered; the majority of problems come with how he arrives at these conclusions)

Brother Shawn, this is where you perchance go astray. Or perhaps you are of the Lee "old school," or maybe you've been listening to past Lee conferences from the 1970s.

Lee use to be Christ centered, or at least taught it. I attended conferences where he stated "It's not me, it's Christ I'm speaking about." "Not I, but Christ," he would quote Paul.

Yep, Lee gave lip service to "Christ centered." I heard it.

Then, eventually Lee went south, so to speak. He grabbed onto God's identity, and began to say "I am." Remember, God told Moses to tell the people that "I am that I am has sent you."

Lee said: "I'm am the oracle of God."
Lee said: "I'm am the authority of God on earth."
Lee said: "I'm am the apostle on the earth today."

I submit that Lee knew full that he was wrong whenever he said "I'm am." It went directly opposed to his former "Christ centered" teachings, and so Lee had a convicted conscience when saying "I am."

So when he taught that Satan dwelt within human flesh it was his guilty conscience that guided his teaching. By so teaching Lee was sending a subliminal message to his followers.

In summary, when Lee taught that Satan dwelt in the flesh, what he was really saying was, a subliminal message that: Satan dwells in the flesh ; I'm flesh ; don't follow the flesh, don't follow Satan, and don't follow me.

This was his guilty conscience speaking from his subconscious. He knew well that when he made "I am" statements he was going wrong. It was against his own "Christ centered" teachings.

So God became a "lying spirit in Lee's mouth" (I Kings 22:22).

God's smart, to say the least, he put those crazy words of Lee that, "Satan dwelt in human flesh," into his mouth for a reason. God spoke thru Lee's subconscious, and was sending a message. He was speaking to all the saints, to all the followers of Lee, and was saying, "He that hath ears let him hear. Satan dwells in human flesh, Lee is human flesh, so don't follow Satan in Lee."

God was bringing Lee down. Lee stepped beyond being just a human saved by grace, and sought to be God, by taking God's label, "I am that I am." Lee stated not, "Not I but Christ," but, "I am."

It's obvious in scripture that Satan doesn't well in the flesh. Just read the book of Job to learn that.

But if I was going to try and locate Satan within humans, I'd say that location would more likely be the human ego. Ego is necessary, but unbridled ego is a demon so obvious that anyone can see it.

Ego is shaped by how others see us. And that is what happen to Lee. We all lifted him up on a pedestal, and it shaped his ego. Our belief in him gave him an unusual sense of power ; more power that humans should have -- Nicolaitan power, the kind of power that Jesus says in Revelation He hates.

So God was speaking out thru Lee as a lying Spirit to all of us. And Lee's teaching that Satan dwelt in the flesh was a message to all that "had ears to hear." God wanted everyone to stop lifting Lee up, and to stop following Lee. So God used an erroeous doctrine, that Satan dwelt in the Flesh, to send that message to all of us.

Brother Shawn do you have "ears to hear."
