You are falling into a deep hole with this kind of claim. Lee said virtually anything on everything in one place or another. That is one of the foundational flaws in his ministry. He has an emphasis, but it is intentionally obscured behind many nuanced statements made judiciously so that they can be brought out to disprove other statements.
And you are free to assert the "both sides are true" or "two-foldness of truth" principles that Lee so often used. But most of the time, the only reason I can find for such a claim of "two-foldness" is that Lee wanted to push a position that ran smack up against things that virtually no Christian could tolerate violating. So he did an end-around. He declared both true, even if clearly contradictory.
So finding a place that Lee said one thing is not sufficient to disprove that he is primarily teaching another. You've fallen for one of the worst blunders of modern times. The first is "never get involved in a land war in Asia." The second is "never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line." And the third is "never assume that because Lee is found in writing to have said it that he didn't mostly say the exact opposite over and over."
