I guess that's why God gave us the scriptures, anyway; as they say, "Accept no substitute".

Living Stream Ministry has now canonized the words of their founder Watchman Nee on their websites and on the granite boulder in front of their skyscraper in downtown Taipei ...
"The Bible is our only standard. We are not afraid to preach the pure Word of the Bible even if men oppose; but if it is not the Word of the Bible, we could never agree even if anyone approves of it."
Great words which all true believers would espouse. Who would dare to reject it? It may be their slogan etched in granite, or even this year's training banner, but funny thing is, believers are constantly leaving the Recovery in order to keep it. Watchman Nee wrote this in 1925, but today's Recovery has changed "
slightly" ...
"The ministry of Witness Lee is our only standard. We are not afraid to preach the ministry of Witness Lee even if men oppose; but if it is not the ministry of Witness Lee, we could never agree even if anyone approves of it."
How else would their members allow Lee to basically trash the book of James and most of the Psalms as being deficient in the divine revelation, while substituting his own high peak theology about man becoming God?
