At most, you could say that some of the teachings evolved as the "dear leader" tried to cover up his misdeeds with bogus scriptural justification. But in that case the action preceded the teaching.
My general point is that if Lee had emphasized the real two greatest commandments (Love God and love people) instead of his proprietary two greatest commandments (be in the dispensing and build the church) then likely many of the problems the LRC had would not have happened because the emphasis would have been on persons, not on processes and idealistic visions and goals.

Of course, if he had emphasized the true two greatest commandments he would have been a very different person himself.
