Let's look at this line from hymn #537 by Witness Lee, again. ""So subjective is my Christ to me/real in me, and rich and sweet"
The "my Christ" of Witness Lee was so subjective to him, that it could replace, or supersede, the objective Christ witnessed in the text of the Bible. You know, the One "who went around doing good", for example (Acts 10:38; cf Matt 9:35). As Lee disciple and current Maximum Bro BP is fond of saying, "We don't care for that." No indeed: you don't care for the objective reality in front of you, preferring the subjective "my Christ" of Lee.
Lee's Christ was so subjective to him, in fact, that nobody else's Christ mattered. In the LC, it was not the Christ of scripture, not anyone else's own experience of the Holy Spirit, not our God-given common sense, not our conscience, not the witness of Christian history, not the collective testimony of the flock of God. Only the subjective "my Christ" of the Deputy God mattered.
I'd say, maybe Witness Lee's "so subjective" Christ was a bit
too subjective. Just a thought.
