Well let's get down to brass tacks then. I think we've beat horses Example #1 & Example #8 to death but how about the rest?
Example #1 Ekklesia—“Called-out Assembly”
Invalid Word-Dissections
Example #2: Invalid Word-Dissections--Parakletos—“One called to another's side to aid him”
Example #3: Reverse Etymological Fallacy—Dunamis--Dynamo
Example #4: Illegitimate Totality Transfer—Proginosko--Foreknowledge
Example #5: Oikonomia—LSM’s trademark “God’s Economy”
Dissection: Oikonomia (Economy) = Oikos (House) + Nomos (Law)
Witness Lee’s Theological Lexicography
Example #6: LSM’s Etymologizing—Revelation’s 7 Churches
Example #7: Laodicea--‘Devilish’ Degraded Democracy in the Church
Example #8: The Nicolaitans
Invalid Implications for Church Governance
Example #9: Over-emphasizing Distinctions between Synonyms—Oida vs. Ginosko
Selective Presentation—Tampering with Biblical Evidence
Example #10: Word-Concept Fallacy--Agapao vs. Phileo
Peter’s Love for the Lord
Example #11: Logos vs. Rhema —‘Constant Word’ vs. ‘Instant Word’
Example #12: Unwarranted Associative Fallacy—‘Holy, holy, holy’ because God is Triune
Let's start with Parakletos. Let's see our choice between Lee and Tomes, and the supposed "excluded middle."
