1. Witness Lee's teaching is chock-full of errors, as this website makes amply plain. We should keep this in mind as we examine his critiques of James, and others.
2. The Bible makes plain what is revelatory and what is error. No need of a special apostolic decoder ring.
3. I never said "all equal". I'm saying that some teachers like WL dismiss scripture like James & Psalms on the flimsiest of pretexts. The scripture itself doesn't make these judgments, yet WL boldly does so. Shouldn't we be good 'bereans' and challenge whether this is so, and if so, on what merits?
To ignore scripture is peril. Leaf through your RecV, sometime. Page after page of Psalms with nary a note, even a cross-reference, even when dozens lie waiting to be found. Then ask yourself which has more value to you- the Bible or the ministry of its exposition? And, what basis do you have that the writers and speakers of the NT, starting with Jesus, held such a view? I see no evidence for it in the NT, rather the opposite. Yet the exposition of WL imposes it on the text.
