Kind of sad that Hank Hanegraaff is still perpetuating the abject myth that he, or anyone else, with CRI did any "extensive research" into what is actually taught and practiced in the Local Church of Witness Lee. Hank still continues to insist that the authors of Open-Letter.Org "misrepresented Witness Lee" and "took everything quoted out of context". NOTHING in this open letter quotes Witness Lee out of context. The simple truth is that a false teaching is a false teaching no matter what "context" it is quoted within. And a heretical teaching is a heretical teaching no matter what context it is quoted within. False and heretical teachers have been using so called provisos and conditional statements for centuries (re: "but not in the Godhead"), but they never even begin to mitigate the blatant falseness and heresy on which many of Witness Lee's teachings are based upon.
If a man teaches that "Jesus was divine but he was not God" (common heresy taught among many Christian and non-Christian sects and cults) but with the next breath contends that "Jesus was God, but not in the sense as taught by today's Christians"...the one who states such things should be considered as a false teacher at best, and most likely is a heretic who is to be avoided at all costs.
Such is the case with many of the teachings and practices established by Witness Lee and his followers. May God have mercy.[/COLOR]

So what is it Mr moderator? On the one hand you condemn Lee for saying Jesus is the Father and you can't get much more "Jesus is God" than that.
On the other hand you say Lee was a heretic because Lee said "Jesus was not God" but I don't think he ever said that.
You will find that when Lee is taken into context He teaches Jesus is both fully God and fully man, and Lee teaches that Jesus is God to a fuller degree than most denominations who relegate Him to the "second person" of the Trinity. He goes so far as to say that Jesus is the Father.
