Re: Four Areas where W. Lee was Flat Wrong

Re: Four Areas where W. Lee was Flat Wrong
I haven't been to psychiatrists or psychologists ever before. So, I do not know the exact difference and honestly, I don't care. What I meant was 'There have been saints in my local church who have...

Re: Four Areas where W. Lee was Flat Wrong
I hear what you are trying to say. But, I still wanted to point out that Wikipedia says Tree of Knowledge may refer to Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
I don't think Br. Lee asked brothers to...

And, to answer your example, I...

Also, there is some external influence exerted on local churches though...

Br. Lee is supposed to have shortcomings, given the fact that he died and was buried.
For me, Br. Lee is only a brother whose writings helped reveal...

God can use anyone to move on earth. He used Pharaoh to bring up Moses. In Acts 5:34, God used Gamaliel to protect the lives of his disciples.
In my opinion, as long as you receive Christ through...
