It's not even close. What Lee taught was unbiblical and even bordered on spiritual abuse. He took what Watchman Nee taught and magnified and multiplied the error big time, which was par for the course for Mr. Lee.

Which is why I like the verses from the Lord. He understood that some would know His will and not do it, others would be ignorant of His will and act foolishly. He also knew that some would be so heinous as to stumble and deceive new believers. To me the basic teachings are not the issue. The problem was in the practice and it will ultimately be sorted out by the Lord at His judgement seat. The Lord has the hard job, our job is to follow the Lord and that is an easy yoke by comparison.
