Your points are true, but I was riffing off Paul's comments in Colossians 3, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly..." then he encourages them to sing the Psalms. I was merging the two, which might be implied but wasn't stated directly. As usual, I was taking liberties with the text because it gave me good copy. I often write like that, and accept your correction: the title of this thread shouldn't be taken as a blanket statement. Rather, it just seemed like a catchy title at the time.

We have now seen through footnotes that Lee really didn't think much of the Psalms.
That means he didn't think very much about God's Word.
And that kind of a person really has no business claiming to be a teacher of God's Word.

Well, I might try to say, that to some degree he was a teacher of the Word of God, as are and have been many. But he fell flat on his face when he got into the Psalms. And the system which he set up, which placed him as God's voice of this age, falls flat on its face also.
