Outside the LC system which is completely immersed in Witness Lee's theology it is easier to be objective when we come to God's word. Instead of getting "out of our minds" we can use our sober minds to calmly consider what the Bible actually says.
Witness Lee's careless mishandling of this passage in Genesis had far reaching implications and applications. It was extrapolated until any questioning of his teaching or practice was condemned as "eating from the wrong tree". And since questions ended with a question mark - the shape of a snake - they were from Satan.
So with this as a backdrop teachings emerged such as: it's not about right and wrong it's about life. Do you feel "life"when you question Witness Lee? - The Ministry? Eventually it simply became a license for Witness Lee and his son and his successors to do whatever they want and nobody was allowed to question it and if you did = you are of Satan.
