And the sequence of "recovery" of supposed truths, previously hidden in the Bible for centuries, is simply too convenient for the supposed seer. Nee supposedly recovered the idea of the Body, which allowed him to separate from not only the Western denominations and their authority, but even senior co-workers like Leland Wang.
Then, once he had separated a "purified remnant" according to his new vision, lo and behold he discovers the manifestation of authority, of which (naturally) he becomes the focal point. Of course he never meant it to, it just worked out that way.
Lee was the same, finding things in the text to supply today's need. And Lee's thinking was, "Since God restricts Himself to one move on earth (us), whatever truth God supplies us today is the whole truth, complete and entire." And those who are under such teaching are sold on the notion that this present truth will encompass every scenario, meet every need. Just follow the formula of God's deputy. Family, school, work, everything is satisfied with the formulation from God's deputy. Even the teachings of Jesus, on service to the poor and sick, on humility, on righteousness, are assumed to be somehow subsumed by today's supposed revelation.
