Re: History, Not Hagiography - "Great Leap Forward" "The God-Ordaned Way" T

The solution, W. Lee declared, lay in overthrowing “one man speaking” and practicing “prophesying” as taught in 1 Corinthians 14. Much emphasis was placed upon 14:26 “Whenever you come together, each one has…” He also appealed to 1 Corinthians 14:31 “For you can all prophesy one by one…” In line with this, the RcV. footnote now reads,39 “God desires that each of the believers prophesy…”. However, on this point, there has been a significant change in W. Lee’s teaching. His earlier Life-study and the original RcV. footnotes indicate, that 1 Cor. 14 “vv. 29-32 speak about the prophets only not all the members of the church.”40 Moreover, concerning the key phrase, “you can all prophesy…” W. Lee originally stated emphatically,41 “According to the context of v. 29-32, ‘you’ and ‘all’ refer to all the prophets, not all the members of the church.” Later, under the New Way, he said exactly the opposite and the RcV. footnotes were revised accordingly. We leave the discerning reader to decide whether this reversal was “further light” or bending the Bible’s meaning. Concerning the latter tendency, Watchman Nee warned,42 “We cannot force God’s truth to go our way just because we want to go that way.”
