Re: Witness Lee's teaching on women
In the quote by Nee in post #63, he says that a woman's work can be great, but her person cannot be great. Does this mean that a man's person can be great?
I'm reminded of the gospel passage where the disciples were arguing over which ones were great (Luke 9:46; also 22:24). Did Watchman Nee think that if he wins the argument, and dominates the assembly, that he'll then be great? That once Leland Wang was out of the way, and the women co-workers 'knew their place', that he'd then be top of the heap? It seems to be implied, in the quote. The apostle of the age, and God's deputy, were sure to follow.
