OK. Lee was heavily influenced by others. Should we then enjoy his ministry?
Let me repeat something I have said repeatedly. I appreciated much of Lee's ministry, and Chu's, and others too. Are not all for us, as Paul told us?
I don't like the way Lee (and the Blendeds) treated people. He was a poor example of the love of God. He made a ministry of condemning others. He rejected all critiques. He sued outsiders and excommunicated insiders. If one is able to get past the leaven, Lee's teachings are helpful. That's because he took them from others.
Evangelical, what you may never understand is how destructive the ministry has been to many people. It was not just about teachings. Lee was a bad pattern. Watching him, many beloved brothers became bullies, lording it over the elect.

P.S. I'm waiting for you to accuse me of being "hung up" on all of LSM's lawsuits. I can agree with that.
