It is called Sola Scriptura, not SOLO Scriptura.

You are absolutely right about needing teachers and footnotes to come to a proper understanding. Notice the BOLD S? Of course, this was a "Freudian slip" of sorts on your part. In the Local Church of Witness Lee only ONE TEACHER counts, and ONE SET OF FOOTNOTES counts. You know that, but you tried to be politically correct. Nice try.

In the Local Church of Witness Lee it is "search the Scriptures ALONG WITH "THE INTERPRETED WORD" (AKA The words of Witness Lee) This is the heart of the matter that you and some others on this board don't want to address. This thread is titled "Major Errors of Witness Lee's Teaching". The biggest error - the error that leads to the acceptance and imbibing of the multitude of all Lee's errors in teaching and practice - is the error that Witness Lee was "the one minister with the one ministry for the age". If this error is accepted, it opens the floodgate for all the other errors of teaching and practice in the movement.

So, when all the dust settles, the main problem - again, one which you and some others refuse to admit, much less address - is that members in the Local Church are forced to be "Sola Lee". Those who question or feel uncomfortable with this dynamic are forced to leave, or suffer in silence (for example if they are not as "absolute" as their spouse, siblings or other LC members).

Nice try on your "google" info on the Bereans. You are nearly clueless bro. If google is your source for Church/Christian/biblical history you are nearly clueless. You're grasping at straws and coming up short. I noticed that you didn't address the verse I cited that totally shoots down your garbage that "The interpretation Paul presented would have been extra biblical for them". You artfully sidestepped this one, my man. Nice try.

I guess I can't really blame you that much. Your source for biblical interpretation is Witness Lee. Your source for Church history (such as it is) is Witness Lee. Your source for everything is Witness Lee. Everything else you post is just stuff a trained monkey could post from google. Go out there, find out what Christians scholars, authors and students have been studying and writing about for hundreds of years....then get back to us.
