Re: "Against the Tide" by Angus Kinnear
I know that I am just a broken record now, but I'm continuing to have problems with "the gifts, the talents, and the wisdom Nee was endowed with." I'm really not sure that even Nee's writings and "wisdom," though not as "out there" as Lee's, are really as sound and beyond "denying."
We have picked through a couple of his books — or at least the beginnings of them — and I became convinced that Nee was no less cavalier with the scripture than Lee. Just not quite as arrogant about it. (Of course, he did "humbly" submit that no one else could see what he saw and wrote in The Spiritual Man.)
I fear that the comparative softness of Nee and the Christian public's acceptance in the few books that reached general circulation has caused us to allow teachings not much less erroneous than Lee's to slip in like weeds in a flower garden. And having been in the LRC, we have seen the more egregious errors.
But too often I think that speaking against the "good" of Nee is like speaking against "turning to our spirit" the way the LRC teaches it. It just seems like talking against God. But it is not. It is only speaking against error cloaked in spiritual language.
