And actually... If he was born again of God... Well then... He still is.
Unlike all that other stuff you listed about him... Which he wouldn't now be... And would not have been for the last twenty years.
Praise the Lord, right... That he desires to, and does save, even those who we see through our natural human rationalizing as being even the worst of wretches.
Good is good, isn't He.

I am not disputing that Lee was born again. So, Lee was a regenerated "judgmental, self-important bully who expected veneration of himself and of his ministry, while enforcing his assumed authority, dividing Christians one from another, and allowing immoral and unethical behavior in the midst of the ministry he claimed as his own."
That means--he was born again and fleshly, and he stumbled many believers. The Lord Jesus said:
"Offenses will certainly come, but woe to the one they come through! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble." (Luke 17:1-2)
And if Witness Lee had applied the same "see no evil" mentality that you apply to all things LC-related, there would have been no Local Church movement to begin with.
