But this is not how Nigel paints it, er. ah Lee paints it. He quotes Lee:
Quote:

“We did not study Greek, yet we had dictionaries, lexicons, and concordances to help us....” W. Lee alleged he used the “best reference books.” He asserted,4 “Although I am not a Greek scholar, my explanation of the NT Greek is based on the study of past Greek scholars. The Greek commentaries...I regularly use are the best & the most authoritative.”

So God Himself must not have been directing him. Or why seek out the scholars? Do these "authoritative" scholars speak for God? And how would Lee even know what's, or who, are, is, authoritative?
Let's face it. Lee was no dummy. Sooner or later, along the way, Lee had to have at least one moment of being honest with himself. That, he was full of bull excrement.
And yet he carried on. Methinks cuz he was a profit, and he depended upon it for the survival of him and his.
He was a failure at all other methods of making a living. LSM and the local church donations were his bailiwick.
