Personally, I wonder if Nee's development of deputy/delegated authority comes from him growing up in his culture and heritage ... that he superimposed upon the Bible ... and then impressed upon those in his movement.

It's hard to well nigh impossible to separate certain teachings like Nee and Lee's Deputy Authority from several millennia of Chinese dynasties.

Even the British mindset, with centuries of the ruling monarchy, differs from the pioneering mindset of the US.
