I didn't quote that part of the Anthanasian creed for a reason, but you had to dig that up because you have no argument against what I actually posted. The problem for you my friend is that you are so used to applying the extra biblical words of a man and making them equal to the holy writ, that you end up confusing the argument, or even worse, making up a whole new argument out of thin air.

I understand that you were trained to approach theology and apologetic in such a manner from Witness Lee. I know this because I was trained in such a way myself for about 20 years. The results of this kind of mindset are plain for all to see. This is why people in your sect think that Witness Lee was the only person speaking as God's oracle on earth. This is why the one of the current leaders of your movement can boldly proclaim that the only place where one can go through the process of sanctification is in the tiny little sect of the Local Church of Witness Lee. This is why people in the Local Church actually believe that their local church of 50 or 60 people is the only legitimate Christian church in a city of millions of people.

Witness Lee never sought to be biblically orthodox, especially when it came to the Trinity. He insisted that his make-it-up-as-you-go-along, home-brewed theology was "higher" than the common, orthodox teachings of the previous 2000 years, and actually convinced a very sizable lot of sincere Christian people that this was actually true.
