Nice sentiment, but what are we supposed to do with a closed system of teachings like those of the Local Church/Witness Lee? I'm sure you realize that Lee's followers are able to test all things...except those that emanate from Witness Lee. His teachings are to be taken and accepted wholesale without any question, much, much less "testing". Those who dare to tread on this hallowed ground find themselves labeled as "negative" (if they're lucky) but most likely "rebellious", "evil opposers"...and my favorite..."destroyers of the divine building".

If you could be so kind, could you please tell us about a teaching from Witness Lee that you have found not to be "according to God's revelation"? You've already admitted that Lee was no scholar (so what the #%@* did he have any business being the one apostle and one theologian for an entire movement?), but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and call him a teacher - You say "I do not believe that every teaching from modern or aged scholar or teacher is according to God's revelation"...so surely out of all the thousands upon thousands of Lee's messages (and you seem to be quite the lay-scholar of his ministry) tell us about a teaching or two of Lee's that you have found not to be according to God's revelation.
