Question: Does Witness Lee measure up to the requirements in 1st Timothy 3:
  • Blameless? No.
  • Husband of one wife? No.
  • Of good behavior? No.
  • Not greedy of filthy lucre? No.
  • Patient? No.
  • One having his children in subjection? No.
  • Of good report of them that are without? No.
I suppose that one could evade by stating that the requirements for an apostle aren’t as stringent as those for an elder. Maybe, but it tells me something when the leader didn’t even measure up to the requirements for an elder (and probably not even a deacon)!
Even Abraham, Moses, David or Solomon would not measure up.
