[UntoHim]

Typical response from a longtime follower of Witness Lee....quoting scripture totally out of context, because that is how many of Lee's teachings present the scriptures - totally and hopelessly out of context. The fact is that this dear saint probably doesn't even know the context of Numbers 23, only that they are defending the indefensible.

First of all, the context, the ACTUAL context, from which this is coming from is so far removed from the defending of a tiny, insignificant Christian sect (which, by the way, came about 3,500 after Numbers was written) that it really doesn't even deserve a response. But I hail you brother Steve for giving it try!

Secondly, this does bring forth the mindset of the typical Local Churcher - that their teeny, tiny religious organization/sect is actually to be compared to biblical Israel. I mean, if it weren't so sad it would actually be funny. May God have mercy.
