>> Nigel Tomes - LSM's Unorthodox Satanology <<

That's quite an exegesis of Lee's Satanology. I'm proud to be in brother Nigel's company (he is out here? Right?). It’s such an impressive piece, in fact, I think I'll designate Nigel as one of the few scholars of Nee and Lee -- maybe the only one -- on the earth. Don't know how much it pays. I wouldn't quit my day job. But it's certainly a labor of love, and much appreciated.

I don’t think all you guys get it yet. Ya certainly got me wondering. [How much of the Lee sheep pen is still within you?] Lee was just a flesh and blood man. Sure he knew his Bible, but he was a man nonetheless. Lee was made more than that by his followers. WE did it. Then Lee fell for it too, because he saw all of us lifting him up.

So Lee places Satan in our flesh – a human error. So what! Who gives a damn what Lee says? If Satan is in human flesh then Jesus also had Satan in his human flesh. Lee was pushing up against Gnosticism here. What’s new? Docetism is nothing new. If Satan is in human flesh then Jesus had to be only divine ; not with a physical body, but a spiritual body only, that could shape-shift into human form. That’s docetism – a very early Christian belief.

Also, let’s pretend for a moment that the Docetists had it right, that Jesus wasn’t human flesh, but was all divine. That would mean that Lee could have it right.

But then, why didn’t Jesus cast Satan out of everyone he met, even his parents and disciples? If not, and Satan dwells in human flesh, then Jesus let him be a tag-along everywhere he went, and in whoever he related with. And if Jesus was human flesh, then he couldn’t ever get away from Satan, or worse, Jesus was possessed of Satan.

How many out here bought into Lee’s Satan doctrine? How many still buy into Lee? If you buy into Lee are you not buying into the flesh, and therefore, according to Lee, buying into Satan.

Lee said it. I believe it. That does it. All that follow Lee are following the flesh, and according to Lee the flesh is Satan’s dwelling place, so all followers of Lee are following Satan.

Stop it!
