Any description of our relationship with God cannot leave this personal aspect out. Lee took some pictures too far, to the point of depersonalizing the relationship in some cases. He made for example the relationship between the Vine and the branches a pure unconscious, life relationship. Likewise with the Head and the Body. But the Bible doesn't put this forth as the meaning of the Vine or the Body. He took the persons out of the equation and pushed the life-force aspect way too much.

This fed the depersonalization you see in the LRCs, where they regularly treat people as means to an end. That's the fruit of this kind of teaching.
