Let's look at the application. Witness Lee shares that there are riches in the LRC but that for the last 39 years nothing of value has been published by other Christians. This is identical to the Lord's condemnation of Laodicea for "saying they are rich knowing not that they are blind". Look at Proverbs, in chapter 1 it says that "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom" and then in chapter 8 it says that the fear of God is to "hate pride and arrogance". Clearly this saying by Witness Lee is full of pride and arrogance, has nothing of the fear of God and is the saying of a fool. But wait, "although Proverbs is a book in the Bible, when we contact it by our natural man, it is not the word of God to us." So this isn't just pride and arrogance, this is hating the word, also condemned in Proverbs, and refusing to hear rebuke, also the act of a fool according to Proverbs. But as has been so clearly pointed out "this is a unique ministry". Thank God for that.
