I think the terms used by Nee/Lee such as "parts of man" and "functions" are too mechanical and they create a view of human beings that is quite superficial. Their concept misses all the complexities related to personality, etc that make up a person. This is unfortunate because this teaching has outcomes and one of the outcomes is a disrespect for individuality, creativity, etc.

If you match this with their theology the feel of it is something like: God is a commodity and we are a commodity to be filled with God and ideally this will result in all the clear bottles on the one shelf of the LC system displaying the same brown coca-cola and that is the oneness and the expression of Christ. More specially in later years the one shelf became the LSM and the oneness and expression was that of the commodity of Witness Lee's ministry.
