But he was still limited to the knowledge of his day, and could say something crazy, like this:
"There are four principle winds, four pillars that hold up the sky, and four
corners of the universe; therefore, it is only right that there be four
gospels."

But if we are sticking to Lee and his conception of GEP I don't think the word "Theosis" fits.
I never heard him use the term. And when I was in, The Shouters never once used the term.
But I left early, and Lee said many things since.
Does anyone else out here ever remember Lee using the term theosis?
