[UntoHim]

The term "blending" was, of course, coined by Witness Lee. Lee borrowed this term from 1 Corinthians 12:24 "But God has blended the body together". Most modern translations use "composed", not blended, but since it suited Lee's theology better, the translators of the Recovery Version used "blended".

Towards the end of Lee's life he earnestly tried to get all the leading LSM co-workers to be "blended" together. For the most part, I think he was quite successful in accomplishing this goal, with the notable exceptions of Titus Chu and Dong Yu Lan in Brazil. This was one of the main complaints/accusations against brother Titus - that he was not properly "blending" with the leading LSM co-workers in Anaheim. At some point these co-workers in Anaheim started calling themselves "blended brothers". I don't think that Witness Lee ever asked them, much less advised them, to use this term. But one can certainly understand how these fellows picked up the terminology. Besides, it is far less corny than "Brothers We"

The bottom line is that the term "blended", as it is used by the LSM co-workers, has no basis in the Bible, or even in church history. It's no more biblical than the man-made positions of arch bishop, cardinal or pope.
