Let's take it one step further. If there is no iniquity in the church, then why the letters in Revelation 2 and 3?
That should be enough to shoot this idea in the head.

And what is the motive to mention the glaring "bones and feathers" that emerge from the Lee-led church life and teachings? You can't hide them, so you have to explain them away. And the companion argument, if you can't explain them away, is "Just ignore them", followed by a verse or two which supposedly settles the matter.
By contrast in the OT you have Ezekiel and Jeremiah (and others like Amos), and in the NT you have Paul's admonitions, some rather pointed I think, you have James and Jude and Peter's epistolary comments, and Rvelations 2 and 3.
Lastly, we ought to mention that Lee saw a lot of iniquity in Christianity, i.e. in everyone else. He just couldn't stand it when the same jaundiced eye swung round and faced his oeuvre.
