This is patently false. An outright fabrication. A damning bearing of false witness.
"The Bible is the Word of God. We believe that the Bible, word by word, is divinely inspired by God (2 Pet. 1:21), as the breath of God (2 Tim. 3:16). The genuine Christians do not have any doubt about this point. We must believe that the Bible is God's infallible Word."

I agree with
Ohio. Statements such as this are just window dressing. The reality is that much of the scriptures are held to be of little spiritual value, except to show us what God doesn't want, even though this interpretation is supported neither by scriptures, church history, nor common sense.
Exibit A of Lee putting down scripture: the Psalms. Out of the great mass of Psalms, 150 in total, the vast majority are held by Lee to be "fallen concepts" and "natural", versus revelatory of God. Even some Psalms which contain revelation, according to Lee, only do so in the exact portions cited by the NT. See e.g. Psalm 34. The rest of the text is perfunctorily waved off.
Contrast that with the ministry of Lee. Name any one significant section or portion of his lengthy ministry which has been rejected as revelatory, being rather seen as "natural" or "fallen".
