106 things not many Christians know (but Witness Lee knows)

On the other hand he continually said damning things about the Christian church, of which his beloved "recovery" was supposedly the standard-bearing emblem.

This is where the truth about Lee and the LRC comes out.

Despite referring to the church generically, they are essentially omitting "poor Christianity" from the definition. So in the LRC lexicon, Lee did not say anything negative about the church because the church is simply the "Local Churches" that follow his teaching. All the others are merely "so-called churches" — not real churches.

Through his linguistic parsings Lee could wrap himself in the Mantle of Luther, while calling Lutherans the daughter of a harlot, devilish, and satanic. Out of the same mouth flowed salty water and sweet, and we, mesmerized, could not tell the difference.

James 3:10 ...from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. 11 Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.
