In closing the short answer is this: His sound, orthodox, biblical, insightful, and enlightening teachings from his cutting straight the Word of God are the primary reason I like Witness Lee's teaching and Watchman Nee for that matter. Yet, my preference depends on the subject as there are dozens of authors I enjoy reading.
Thanks and enjoyed the conversation.

It has already been proven from I Cor. 6:17 that Lee didn't cut straight the Word. He cut around it whenever it served him. It is perfectly clear that I Cor. 6:17 is not talking about a so-called "mingling" of God's Spirit with our spirit. In fact, it shows quite the opposite. It is talking about the free will act of joining ourselves to the Lord, as opposed to someone joining their biological body with a harlot - something else that Paul mentions in the same chapter. This verse has absolutely nothing to do with "mingling."
Furthermore, Lee taught that our spirits are irreversibly mingled with God's Spirit. So then why the need to join yourself to Him, if it's already been irreversibly taken care of? Sort of like Lee saying that "The Lord be with your Spirit" is proof that the Lord is in our human spirit. When, in fact, it is a prayer or an admonition from Paul that we let the Lord be with our spirit.
Lee was loose and sloppy with the Word when it served him, and is not worthy to be called a biblical scholar. He was an accountant with a talent for organizing and controlling people. As an accountant, he was also good at counting people.
