In case some think I am too much in saying that Lee thought his teaching took a higher place than the Lamb of God, consider the following statements made by Witness Lee in the Exodus messages:
“…. I am concerned about the influence of today’s religious atmosphere. Due to this influence, many believers care only for superficial things. They may know about the Lamb, the heavenly manna, or even a little about the living water. But when it comes to a message on the compound ointment in Exodus 30, few Christians have any ear. They like messages that tickle their ear, but they do not want to hear things that are deep and weighty.”
Excuse me? The Lamb is a “superficial thing?” Messages about the Lamb “tickle the ear,” but not Lee’s compound spirit messages? Those are deep and weighty?
“I hope that all of us will be deeply impressed with the fact that it is not God’s eternal intention merely to give us a Redeemer, or to supply us with heavenly manna and living water. It is God’s eternal intention that He would reach us as the all-inclusive compound Spirit, as the Spirit who includes divinity, humanity, incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. All this is blended to form the compound ointment, and this ointment is for the anointing of God’s chosen and redeemed people. Nothing can compare with this marvelous ointment. What comparison is there between the ointment and the Lamb? It is a wonderful fact that God has become our Savior and Redeemer. Jesus is Jehovah our Savior, and I appreciate His salvation very much. Nevertheless, the Lamb cannot compare with the Triune God processed to become the all-inclusive compound Spirit to reach us, to make Himself one with us, and to make us one with Him. ...”
Right. And that is why in Revelation we hear the voice of many waters proclaiming, “Worthy the Compound Spirit!” “Worthy the processed Triune God!” “Even the Lamb of God cannot compare with this!”
I repeat, Lee proclaimed:
“Nothing can compare with this marvelous ointment. What comparison is there between the ointment and the Lamb?….the Lamb cannot compare with the Triune God processed to become the all-inclusive compound Spirit…” ?
Spend some time thinking about these statements. I'm thankful that I didn't make them and that I don't believe them.

... while your at it consider how much time we all spend discussing these exalted teachings of Lee in comparison to the time we spend exalting the Lamb of God. This should sober all of us. Where is CountMeWorthy when you need her? She's probably off somewhere warming up for that thunderous chorus in the heavens by proclaiming, "Worthy is the Lamb!" I think I'm going to join her.
