LSM's Plagiarism - An Initial Inquiry

Calvinists don't talk about Calvin near as much as Leeists talk about Lee. Why is that? I believe because with them it's really an authority thing. They see the ideal as everyone lining up under Lee, which by conveyance mean them.

It's absolutely an authority thing.

Hope and I may disagree about which came first, The Work or The Universal Church, but the misshapen concept of authority is what binds those two notions together and give a rather solid foundation to those who want to build the genuinely awful into the thoroughly evil.

No arguments from me there.

And I guess that's why I'm posting on this topic.

They claim to basically own Lee because they are "of" Lee but they no more own him than they do Watchman Nee at the end of the da.y In rejecting their claims of exclusivity and superiority, I can say - I receive Lee's ministry, as much as any believer rightly should, and no, he's not an Acting God or any such nonsense. He was a Bible teacher, like many others, maybe better than some.

The mythology at the root is probably that only the LC saints are guaranteed overcomers.
(Even though no one has ever said that expressly, let's just admit what we all know....)
