I think this is one of the biggest misrepresentation, idolatrous, "God in Lee's own image" teachings that Lee put forth and wove almost inextricably throughout his ministry and throughout the atmosphere in the local churches.
Maybe it's better to say that God doesn't care so much about OUR concept of right and wrong. He is the Righteous One, and there is a right way - His! The tree of knowledge of good & evil is about us having control - we will know what is right and wrong, therefore we don't need to be dependent on Him. Therefore we can make our own choices and plans, and follow the desires of our own heart. In this way we become independent "gods." Of course, this is the supreme deception, because the end of our way is just death!
