This is one of those cases where Lee creates a strawman by insisting on the absurd, then chastising those who otherwise agree but don't use his lexicon. He has now driven a wedge between us.
Of course, Lee actually meant to insist that Christ was the Holy Spirit and he dodged saying it directly by cloaking it in this vague terminology. And on that there are not only some that disagree, but virtually all that disagree. And it is Lee's insistence on the article "the" that makes him the absurdity and the one with a problem to be opposed.
As I have recently observed (thanks to hearing this elsewhere), if it is new, novel, and never seen before in this way, it is almost surely an error.

Later on in that "life-study" Lee states "I do not want anyone to follow me blindly." That doesn't square with my expereince.
