Keep repeating it over and again. Please.

But the historical fact that some people have been sucked in by a language and an unhealthy emphasis does not automatically negate any and all things they saw as truth in the Word.

I don’t believe I said anything about this negating other things that are true. I think that the reason we must discuss this topic and its “sucking in language” (which includes the term “processed”) with its unhealthy emphases, is because the devil is able to use any deviation from the truth to secure a hiding place or a base of operation in the hearer’s thinking. Any such deviation from truth needs to be pinned down, exposed, and expunged.

The processed Triune God is one of the pillars of Lee’s teachings. Just as Nigel Tomes has recently re-examined Lee's "Satanology," this topic also needs to be deconstructed and the chaff discarded. I am in no way saying I have done or can do this, but I have picked up my shovel. This is a big mountain and it's going to take all our shovels. Some of us have been chewing on this bone for a long time now (on the other forum). Thankfully, God is our Helper to do this. He said that if we seek we shall find. I am seeking the truth about this teaching and I think I’ve reached the knocking stage.
