Maybe not as serious as declaring the Son to not be God, as another group has done. But between the peculiar and irregular word choices, coupled with his teachings that based themselves on the declaration that something like "God's economy" dictated that it could not mean what the words actually said (or that the words should be dismissed as not really inspired), which are then scattered throughout the footnotes (which are taken as words from God often in opposition to the actual words from God that Lee is commenting on), Lee found a way to make everything he wanted to be true supported by the Bible.
Or at least appear to be so.
He might not have been a slave owner, member of the KKK, Jehovah's Witness, or Mormon, but he engaged in the same kind of (sometimes not-so) subtle altering of the text and meaning of God's word such that it was no longer actually God's word. At least not in those places. When you teach that Romans 8 means that you no longer have to consider and try to be righteous, you are teaching something that God did not say. You are making God's word of no effect. Therefore you do not know God's word.
Such a teacher cannot be taken seriously and should be rejected. They should not be able to wear the badge of "teacher of the Word."
