If Witness Lee had repented for his sins against the Lord's brothers while he was leading a "worldwide" Christian organization, and changed his ways, you all might have a point. He did not. How do we know? Because those who followed him in leadership have expanded and multiplied the sinful leadership practices begun by Lee, and in many ways, the remaining organization of a publishing company and its franchise "churches" are worse. The fruit of unrighteousness remains.

As long as people are willing to compromise and tolerate unrepentant sin and appreciate "the good works" of the sinner, sinful behavior will continue. Why repent if none are willing to hold you accountable? This is hypocrisy. This is leaven. This is meat sacrificed to idols. This is bad fruit. It really doesn't matter who does it. It's wrong. Sin is sin...call it what it is. God does not tolerate sin. He sent His Son to pay the price for our sinful behavior. What an affront to that ultimate sacrifice. What an affront! Does God drink of the guilded cup of the "good Witness Lee" with Lee's works of darkness inside? I don't think so. Whatever is holy and clean is of God. Witness Lee's righteousness is as filthy rags. So is mine. So is yours.

Why did God send Adam out of the garden if all he did was get a little deceived along the way? Chill, dude. Didn't Adam name all the animals? Look at all the good things Adam did. Adam was numero uno! The MAN. It wasn't his fault anyway...it was hers.

Nope. I don't buy it.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
