Hey bro Drake, and Evangelical. It's always good to define our terms.
Can we we finger Lee's highest truth? I've got the video. Lee said, "No more high peaks without practice."
So Lee defined it for us himself. He called it "high peaks."
I guess what Truthseeker is asking us is : 'Can Lees' high peaks feed your spiritual hunger and thirst?'
Everyone has different tastes. I respect that. And at different times in our life we need different kinds of food. Paul called the Corinthians milk drinkers, as opposed to meat eaters.
So at different times in our life, Lee may feed our spiritual hunger. I know he once did mine. Back when I needed milk, so to speak.
But to answer brother Truthseeker : "No! Lee's high peaks does not feed my spiritual hunger and thirst."
Moreover, Lee was right, in speaking about teachings and practice ; to put it in theological terms, between orthodoxy and HIS heterodoxy. His practice did not live up to his and Nee's 'high peak' teachings. I saw his infractions with my own eyes.
So I think we could safely say that, he eventually admitted the truth about HIS teachings and practices. When he said no more high peaks without practice he directed it at everyone else, but not himself. Cuz if he had then he should have never taught he and Nee's high peaks in the first place.
To repeat. He said no more high peaks without practice. Then based upon his own hypocritical practices, he should have never taught "high peaks." No matter how high high peak teachings might be, how can hypocrisy spiritually feed us?
Joh_4:23-24 KJV : But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Maybe we shouldn't look to Lee to feed us, but to the Lord.
Truthseeker, if I'm way off base here, please let me know.
