If, as I suspect, there is no clear answer, then it might not be much more important that the study of pins and angels. So far, without a definitive answer, it answers nothing. It just provides a basis for argument.

And almost for the sake of argument.

Yes, it is yet one more area in which Lee and company are not only potentially wrong (possibly even not truly understanding the issue), but out to lunch on the discussion. But does it actually cause anyone harm? Will it effect anyone as much as being stymied by this vague thing they call the "experience of Christ"? Something that is part of that vague desire to "make it." Yet one more thing that was bandied about that had no clear definition, yet had so many of us wondering whether we would succeed at this undefined (or at least poorly defined) task.
Well, as I suggested in another thread, in lieu of knowing we have to go with what is likely.

Again, the fact that Lee might have been off on this matter is less important than the fact that LSM will never admit that he was off on anything, which this matter will help demonstrate to anyone paying attention. Because this is one more opportunity for them to admit he was indeed off on something, which, undoubtedly, they won't take.
