Of all the mistakes Brother Lee made, probably the worst was this: he thought the Bible was about himself. It's not- it's about Jesus. It's not about "the dispensation we now live in" - it's about Jesus. It's not about your subjectivistic, self-obsessed "enjoyment" or your "church life" - so sorry!
Paul, to his credit, said, "we do not preach ourselves". WL did nothing but preach himself: his faith, his ministry, his church, his teachings, his interpretations, his recovery.
All those footnotes - chock full of mixed human sentiments and fallen human concepts. Full of self - the fallen human self, all the unmet needs and unresolved anxieties, writ large and imposed on the deluded collective. Like another collectivist prophet (Karl Marx) said, "We step back and see ourselves in the world we have created." I couldn't have put it better myself.
