LC leaders had introduced HH to the concept of "deification" (theosis) through the teachings of Witness Lee. Over time, HH became more and more enthralled with this teaching. Wanting to learn more, a few years ago, he sought out a meeting with Eastern Orthodox leaders in NYC (HH has spoken about this publicly, on one of his radio shows). These encounters eventually led to his aligning himself with Eastern Orthodoxy (instead of the LC). Ironically, LC leaders pointed HH to Eastern Orthodoxy, and then HH rejected the LC in favor of it.
This the way I understand it.

Why is it that those who feel they are above the law suddenly decide that "becoming god" is a great idea?
Acolyte, do you know that Witness Lee only introduced this teaching (
his so-called "high peak" teaching) about man becoming god after excommunicating and slandering numerous man of God in the LC's who spoke their consciences in response to excessive abuses and sexual immorality at Living Stream Ministry?
