Witness Lee uses Revelation 2 to conclude that "the New Testament forbids women to teach". Why? Revelation 2 refers to Jezebel, a "prophetess".
Revelation 2 also refers to Balaam, a false prophet, yet Witness Lee doesn't use that reference to conclude that the New Testament forbids men to teach.
Using this reference to say that it "shows that God forbids women to teach" is very much in line with his use of these references to say that the New Testament teaches there is one church in one city.
This reference also refers to Evangelical's claim that the New Testament definition of a church includes "two male elders".
The connection to me is it undermines Witness Lee's credibility in defining what is and is not a church.
