WL's teaching was very formulaic. Breaking man down into three part, diagram and all, and somehow that was supposed to represent something that nobody else had ever seen before. I would agree that it's much more complicated than that.

There is a statement in the Ferguson article that I think does a good job summarizing the issue with what Nee/Lee taught: "Building a theological system on passages intended to provide practical motivations is highly suspect, to say the least. However, Nee has not only chosen a suspect approach, he has deemed it absolutely essential to our understanding of the Bible."
