LSM versus Christian teaching, 1965 - 2015

[aron]

On another thread, I challenged another person to find one minister that Witness Lee acknowledged between the years 1945 - 1995. That's 50 years. As far as I know, there were none.

The poster challenged me to come up with someone that Witness Lee should have listened to. I gave some names, and my reason. The person pressed the issue, and I'd like to take it up here, so as not to drag another person's thread off its track.

You have recommended 5 men that should have guided Brother Lee between 1945 and 1995. Why these 5? What focus or insight would they EACH bring to the ministry of Witness Lee or to him personally?

I recommended about 10 ministers that I've felt easily had things to say, worth listening to. By Witness Lee and the Blendeds, as well as any seeking Christian.

1. They spoke Greek and Hebrew, and could access the text themselves, without Vincent or Vine or Wuest to coach them. Not a minor thing. To actually be able to read the text yourself.
2. They also learned from one another, and none of them presumed to be God's sole mouthpiece on earth. Lee with his various scandals easily showed fruit (to me) that he was not the end-all and be-all he claimed, and was thus a charlatan presiding over naifs and dupes.

Now, to the challenge. Are there any ministers out there between the years 1965 and 2015 that are worth listening to? Has anyone learned anything at all? Or is the LSM the only source of truth and light? I'd like to open the floor.

(I've changed the years to reflect newer sources. I've read some work published since 1995 that was worth reading, and we should keep the discussion up-to-date. So word studies from 1887 are not included, here. They are not bad, per se, but that isn't the challenge. Lee said "there's nothing new").
