One practical result of these teachings is that people become focused on what Witness Lee taught about particular passages. When Lee would parse out which portions of the Bible he considered "revelation," versus which portions he considered "natural," then the Bible becomes a kind of minefield. We have to be careful where we step. If we dare to appreciate some passage that Lee has already deemed "natural," then we'll hear it from those who are more "in tune with the ministry."
