Degraded Christianity is because it has fallen away from Christ. Almost everything Christianity does has nothing to do with Christ.

These things do not depend on deification. In themselves these two matters would be enough to distinguish from Christianity.
The "vision of the age" is what the MOTA has and it is what makes him the MOTA.

Degraded Christianity is the justification for everything that this "MOTA" does in separating himself from all other believers in the Body.

Deification is one way in which this "MOTA" separates himself from all other believers, and it pushes his narrative that "we have the truth, they don't". If you oppose this teaching they jump up and down with all the NT verses and Witness Lee caveats, and special definitions to prove they are fundamental in their understanding.

What they fundamentally don't understand is Jesus word that "whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea." They don't understand that taking this liberty is to sin against Christ "9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. 10 For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 11 For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ."

What do you think happens if you sin against Christ? "But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols."
