Default Re: A Review of Hank's Recent Book.

Actually I don't think anyone here is qualified to say "what Witness Lee meant to say". The only person qualified to do that has been dead and buried for about 23 years now. What we do have are the actual words that the man actually said. Now Acolyte4236 has generously dubbed Lee "sloppy". Personally, I would say that any teaching that states that man is "becoming God in life and nature" (in any way, in any sense) falls somewhere in between sloppy and rank heresy. In any event, it is certainly not a "high peak truth" of any kind, and it is very unfortunate that whole sizable lot of sincere Christian people have been duped to think that that it is.

Is it any wonder that the Local Church of Witness Lee hitched their wagon to Hank Hanegraaff? (some would say visa versa) Neither one has the academic credentials to be called the Bible Answer Man (much less the One Minister with the One Ministry for the Age) And neither has been (or ever will be) recognized as anything approaching an expert in their field. In the case of Witness Lee, hardly anyone outside of the Local Church has ever even heard of the man.
