I have alluded to Nigel's critical problem a few times, about the end result of his article, but it was never picked up by anyone. It has been missed or ignored. The only one that gets it, or shown to get it, is bro Ohio, who dismisses this article out of hand.

When Nigel seeks to dismiss Witness Lee, by calling into question Lee's textual scholars, like Kittel, and by bringing in new scholars, calling into question Lee's etymological methods and results, and the meaning of Greek words, what Nigel ends up doing is calling into question our ability to understand the Greek New Testament.

In short, by calling Lee into question in this treatise, Nigel calls the Bible into question, or at least our ability to understand the New Testament, with unassailed doubt. Nigel seems to be introducing, and applying, the pernicious, so called, "modern higher criticism."
