It appears to me Igzy has rightly noted that:
"If "economy" is meant to mean "the way God accomplishes his purpose" then, of course, he operates according to his economy. Because of course God is going to always operate according to the way he operates. He's always going to do things the way he does them.
So using the word "economy" over and over ad nauseum issues in a tautology, that is, the repetition of a factoid as if it were profound that is true by definition. Most people know God does things the way he always does them. They don't need the word "economy" repeated over and over when talking about God's ways. "
Once again, by twisting the text of the NT to create your own context for a particular passage (or specific word in Lee's case) it is easy to make complicated that which was not complicated.

If only the LC faithful could understand this truth. Of course it's God's economy. It's the way He does things. The scripture should not be reanalyzed according to some peculiar understanding of economy. The whole of scripture should be seen as standing as it is and the term "economy fits it exactly as it is. Lee's reanalysis essentially negates and rewrites scripture.
