That WN & WN expressed Chinese culture is understandable, and not wrong of itself. What's wrong is that this culture - shared history and agreed-upon assumptions and expectations based on that history - imposed itself as a universal, one-size-fits-all "Christ". We'd get crushed by a "storm" or "rebellion", but no one could step back and objectively examine the shared values and expectations that led to the blow-up. At the core, there was fallen human culture, uncritically received.

Christ, on earth, obeyed the Father absolutely. As such, nothing could stop him - "You just speak the word, and my servant will be healed". Matt 8:8
Don't be lulled by those who merely teach. This is counterfeit authority. How many thousands have been pinioned to chairs, meeting after meeting, book after conference after message. The whole world is out there, waiting for the power, authority and kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. ~Rev 11:15
But we got meetings and teachings. Thank God for the day that I walked out that door. . .it took some years, but eventually my mind was restored.
