Evangelical, let me remind you of the obvious -- none of the Bible's major teachings are based on historical language-specific idioms.
The recovery, however, is quite different. MOTA authoritative leadership and member submissions to that authority are based on spurious interpretations of the Noah story carefully crafted by Nee and Lee. Apostle Paul rightfully calls this a system of error, built upon the sleight of men using numerous winds of teachings.
There are far more Biblical warnings to ministers, elders, and shepherds than there are to the members regarding their obedience to church leaders. Witness Lee broke every single Biblical instruction concerning leadership, from the treatment of others, to the handling of money, to the treatment of the ministry of the word of God, to the management of his own family.
