And I could go out and buy a steak dinner if I had a dollar for every time I heard Lee riffing on how Paul was forced to brag about his spiritual experiences in 2 Cor 11 & 12, and likewise how he (Lee) was forced to be honest and frank with us about all the high peak truths God had given to him.

So he could play humble while saying that nobody else had such blessings. If Paul could brag, why couldn't he? Lee didn't want to speak like this, but the situation forced his hand. And probably he didn't want to sell us all those books, but his conscience required him to make these riches available to all, for a nominal fee. Otherwise, how could the body of Christ be built up? How else could God end the age apart from these high truths?

It's tough being the apostle of the age. But someone's got to do it. Right?
