Lee used the word "humanity" but what did he and what do those in the LCS and apparently some who left mean when they use this term? What are they taking about?

The "humanity of Jesus" includes the following:
  • incarnation
    human living for 33-1/2 years
    persecutions and sufferings
    crucifixion
    death on the cross
    burial
    resurrection
    ascension

All of these "humanity of Jesus" was allegorized in Exodus 30 with the four spices added to the olive oil. The olive oil signifies the Spirit that was not yet in John 7:39. The four spices signify the "death and effectiveness of the death" and "resurrection and power of the resurrection" of the Lord Jesus.

With the "humanity of Jesus" added to the Spirit that was not yet in John 7:39, John 20:22 has resulted for the Lord Jesus to breathe the Holy Spirit into the discples becoming Him as their eternal life. In John 20:22 the Lord Jesus was no longer "became flesh" (John 1:14) but "became a life-giving Spirit (1Corinthians 15:45). We no longer know the Lord Jesus in the "flesh" now but "a life-giving Spirit" because "Now, the Lord is the Holy Spirit."

The addition of the "humanity of Jesus" to the Spirit has made the Holy Spirit as the "all-inclusive Spirit". By this, our love is no longer our own love but the love of Christ; our peace is no longer our own peace but the peace of Christ, our humility is no longer our own humility but the humility of Christ, etc. Therefore, God's attributes now became our human virtues!
