Even though Moses representing God or being His deputy authority wasn't a wrong teaching, I've been trying to see how I misunderstood For many years that it applied to WL, the MOTA, and the NT age.

You and me both.
Both Nee and Lee used both Moses and Noah to promote their "deputy authority" heresy. It had little to do with owning up to the tremendous responsibilities that would entail, rather it was all about others submitting to their authority in the face of failure. Since both Mariam and Ham were both cursed for their actions, what better way to instill the "fear of God" in your followers? Since both Nee and Lee had lots of "dirt under their rugs," those deputy authority teachings would come in handy at times.
Who am I to talk about "dirt under my rug," as I have plenty? What I don't have, however, is the ability to silence my detractors with "fear curses." In the end though, isn't it better to repent today, rather than hide it until it's too late?
