I'm not quite sure if this is supposed to be a response to my post or what. Lee did not say he was "an" oracle (that would be bad enough) he said he was THE ONLY ORACLE....Big difference. "An oracle of God to them"? Sure, and many Catholics would call the Pope an oracle of God to them, and Seventh Day Adventists would call Ellen White and oracle of God to them. Being a good speaker with all sorts of highfalutin spiritual sounding jargon does not excuse a man from the scriptural requirements to be a leader among God's people. Can you understand this, or is it that you just don't agree?

2. He liked to avoid saying he was an apostle, but he described himself as one, even as a commander-in-chief and a wise masterbuilder..

You are not going back far enough my brother. You are speaking of the mid-late 80s Lee. I just gave you a lot of factual information which shows he had such an attitude decades before this.

3In one of my last meetings before being cut off, a major blending brother very "humbly" and carefully uplifted Witness Lee’s ministry as surpassing Watchman Nee’s and, yes, even the apostle Paul’s (in a certain sense). This statement might be roundly criticized, but broken down it means that Lee has come later and stands on their shoulders, and has entered into the spirit of Paul’s writings and expounded on them all in hundreds of pages of easily readable and well-edited New Testament fellowship.

The apostle Paul clearly and plainly stated that his writings were to complete the Word of God. I don't care whose shoulders you're standing on, if someone says that their words are surpassing anything in the New Testament they are to be condemned and marked as a heretic. Furthermore, "easily readable and well-edited" do not equal sound and orthodox. Much of Lee's ministry cannot be called "New Testament fellowship" since much of it cannot be found anywhere in the New Testament.

4.LSM strategy is to use Watchman Nee as a blocking fullback protecting Witness Lee and opening the way for him to run and for his ministry to spread. Watchman Nee’s name protects him and covers him, and also LSM, at every turn, though Nee would never himself cover him if he was present.

I don't think Watchman Nee would allow Witness Lee into the stadium.
