The logical error you see time and time again with those arguing for the LCM view is what is known as "begging the question." That is, they start with the conclusion that want (usually something Lee taught them to believe) then proceed to try to prove that conclusion. They do this rather than starting with the evidence and seeing where it leads.

One area the do this blatantly is the "local ground." The assumption that the local ground is binding is assumed in their arguments for it. Nee did this when he presumed house churches were really just local churches, even with no evidence to support that.

But again, as ZNP points out, the fact that James was a Judaizer at one point is used against his writing, but the fact that Paul was is not.

The reason LCMers do this is because what they are arguing for--that Lee's teachings are correct--is presumed before they even examine the evidence. And so they try to force evidence to show that Lee is right, rather than objectively accepting that some evidence shows he was wrong.

It's a severe bias that undermines their integrity as debaters.
