Default Re: The God-Men: An Inquiry into Witness Lee & the Local Church

...In all of Witness Lee's writings there is not a single major statement that is not elsewhere qualified in several different directions. Sometimes major statements are turned on their heads altogether by the affirmation of contradictory points."

I'm not sure about the "not a single major statement" part ....but Duddy et al where definitely on the right track. Many, and maybe most, of Witness Lee's teachings regarding some of the essentials were very questionable at best. Many of them had to be "qualified" with all sorts of twisted, convoluted provisos, addendums and exceptions. One that may be most applicable to our discussions here might be "man is becoming God - but only in life and nature and not in the Godhead". As has been noted from people in the past - exactly what part of God are we becoming that includes his life and nature but is not part of the Godhead? As we delve further into this book I think we will find that it is this kind of unbiblical teaching that Duddy et al were concerned with.
