Re: One Thing Witness Lee Got Flat Right
I think the problem here is that many of the brothers that critizied him can't see more beyond a certain point, i mean, some haven't studied beyond certaina aspects of the teaching of Brother Lee about what he saw christian life is.
Someone said that we ignored the negative aspects like crying, suffering for the Lord, etc.
But once again, the problem is that YOU are the one that ignores Lee's teachings.
For example, the bible shows that if someone wants to be a part of the ministry of life, the first thing is to pass thought death, suffering. Paul said many times that he died so we could gain life trought him, he knew that the rock must be hit so the water(life) could go out, the grapes must be pressed to produce wine, squeeze the olive = oil.
And that's a part of the normal christian life.
Something else is that some of you judge saying we don't really do the things we preach, that we don't really enjoy christ. What can i say? If some brother is passing troguht a top decision it means everything's wrong with us? no way! We ask for life to the Lord so that we can give life to that brother. May be you don't know this(this teaching i mean): but sometimes the brothers don't need that you talk about bible to be shepherded, maybe he needs ...food, a present...a hug. The first thing that Lord did when Peter was fihsing and not preaching the gospel was make a rant! noooo...! he prepared fish for Peter because he was the whole night without eating. To take the cross!
Other thing that sorprises me is that you talk about "manipulation". I say: what?! Like if we had meeting where they teach us what to say to make feel bad people so they come back. Rather that the Lord teachs us in the bible in the case of Peter.
"Just" enjoy Christ: Means that we don't have to do anything else? I know a brother that says that's not entirly right, he is named: Witness Lee.
He saw in bible that the firse day of Adan was "the sabbath", the day God rested. And then came the "work" for Adan.
The thing is he was trying to say we do a lot without Christ, he was making a point. What you do without the enjoy of Christ is meaninless and maybe the Lord could say in that day "I never knew you". We need to come back to the Lord befor doing nothing.
We have to go to the secret and there have this fellowship with the lord, pray to him, say him how much do you love him, ask his revelation when you read the bible. That's a tyruly important part of enjoyng the Lord.
We have, and he said that many time, we have to preach the Gospel, we do that with non-believers but...also Paul wanted to go to Rome to preach the Gospel TO THE BROTHERS in that city. Not only non-belivers needs the Gospel.
