Ok I'll rephrase, with apologies. Anyone who claims greatness on earth has fundamentally mis-aimed, and is in danger of taking themselves and their reader into the ditch. Of course TAS claims this for Paul and not himself, but that's like Lee puffing up Nee - the implied extension. Nee is great and Lee is great for having recognized and promoted it. Same w TAS & Paul.

Sparks was teaching Advanced Spirituality 563 after having failed Basic Spirituality 101. How then is he going to help anyone "apprehend Christ", as he puts it? Anyone who takes his teaching will absorb his bias.
