Ephesians 3
8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

Does not sound at all like the "oneness" (read:
SAMENESS) that is taught inside the "Recovery" and was a product of Lee/Nee's improper use of Scripture.
It should be obvious just looking at the way God created nature that He wants to express Himself in a rich, abundant way and that one man-made view is not adequate for that. Nature is incredibly rich and diverse. The "church life" aims to create the opposite of that, although of course even in the LR there are pockets of godly diversity in opposition to the crooked theology, which pockets blessed those of us who were stuck in the system and did indeed help us to know more of God, in spite of our errors.
