Can you please source or cite where you find "respected early church fathers" speaking, writing, or being quoted, concerning : "high peek revelation?"
Until Witness Lee I never heard the term "high peek revelation." Isn't that just a euphemism for : "I'm getting the good stuff straight from God. I'm God's minister of the age?" And then, "if you don't listen to me, and do what I say, I'll take this high peek revelation of God away from you.
I know some out here don't like the word cult thrown around willy-nilly, but this walks and quacks like a duck.

Ireneneus is one and the earliest to believe it. He learned from a disciple of John and probably learned it from him. Athanasius is another respected father in Christianity. Many believers quote his creed as a declaration of orthodoxy but ignore what he says about becoming god. Can one man both be orthodox and heretic?
I'm not talking about terminology.
The topic i thought was becoming god. It is high peak revelation which is Lees terminology.
I'm not saying the fathers used the term high peak revelation. But they certainly believed in man becoming gods. To them it probably was not high peak, they probably taught it in Sunday school.
The term high peak is biblical and the use of mountains as symbols for revelation knowledge. But the terminology was never the topic here.
I think its sad that Christians know the pagan symbols like Christmas trees but don't know the biblical ones like high peaks.
