I believe you are referring to Post #136 in the thread on the ground of the church. Particularly to this line:
The word of God came to us through holy men, cleansed men, such as David and Moses.
Witness Lee was not clean.
I was under the impression that this had been edited out by the poster, but have since seen that it hasn't. Since then I have seen Igzy and OBW's reference to this and read their comments.
I am also grieved by this. When looking at the sins committed by the "holy men" of the Bible I feel that WL's sins as described on this forum are on par with them. I do not see them as categorically more heinous (i.e. the sin for which there is no forgiveness as mentioned by Jesus). I understand OBW's point that when you sin before all you need to confess before all. However I also agree with you that the final analysis on who is and is not clean is up to the Lord.
But, looking at all three posts, I don't see that anyone has denied that the blood cleanses our sins.
For example, I have repeatedly asked OBW to apologize for posts he has made, and this has gone on for months. Has he ever done that? No. Were the posts made before all? Yes. By his own admission shouldn't he therefore apologize before all? Yes. I feel I have the right to point these out, but I don't have the right to then say "he is not clean". That is for the Lord to judge.
