Well then Ohio, if this "
just as" and "
even as we" spoken of by Jesus concerning the oneness between the Father, the Son, and the believers is mysterious then it is understandable why the statement "
just as" from Witness Lee will also appear mysterious to you since John 17 is part of the whole line of his teaching on this topic.
But you said you understood what Witness Lee's teachings being a part of the group for decades. Somewhere there was a deviation from your understanding of his teachings on this particular topic else you would have been able to reconcile the 4-in-1 statement with John 17: 20-22 and done so effortlessly without any concern about the scriptural integrity of the teaching, and the words "
just as" would not have been the point of disagreement.
In my view,
"just as" is mysterious but knowable, profound yet a reality, counter-intuitive to the mind yet to be experienced.
