I find this to be droll. What, pray tell, did Witness Lee ever exhibit a firm grasp of, save the local churches and the lives of the parishioners therein?

Second, who here has asserted that they have the proverbial last word on matters? Those who claim the most should be judged the most severely. To whom is not given so much; well then let's lay off, shall we?

Third, I recall repeatedly asking questions like, "If the seven-fold intensified Spirit was needed to overcome the degradation in the NT churches, why were there seven flames burning before the throne (cf Rev 4:5) at least as far back as Exodus 25?" Resounding silence.

Or, why was an angel of the LORD in Acts 8:26 called "the spirit" in verse 29, even "the spirit of the LORD" in verse 39? Or are they all different? If so, why do we have angels zipping in and out, and the (S)pirit following hard upon? What is the spirit of the angel, if an angel is a spirit? Angels are ministering spirits, no? Are there then two spirits, contrary to Ephesians 4?

No one answered. One poster said, "Do you study angelology?" I replied that I read the Bible, and recommend it. All of it, not just the bits that align with your theology.

Do I have the answers? No. But I don't presume to, either. So I'm at least possibly teachable. Which seems to be more than I can say for the True Believers of the Final Oracle to End the Age, who remind me so much of myself when I was 18. Back then, I was so smart that nobody could teach me anything. I already knew it all - what more was there left to learn?
