So his ministry wasn't arguably about the Bible at all. It was about the ministry. The Bible was merely a vehicle towards an end; if he couldn't line it up, it was abandoned.

I would say the end is New Jerusalem and LSM publications is the vehicle. There is no love, no compassion and no consideration how brothers and sisters are treated because the ends justifies the means. I once heard in the church in Bellevue the brothers speak , "here in the churchlife we don't have to be nice....".
Such is evident.
As for the Bible, portions that cannot measure up to the Economy of God or refers to accountability, etc it's considered natural, low, etc. That's not factual. That's speaking according to one's opinions, hopes, etc. What's factual is all scripture is God breathed. Fine if brother so and so thinks are particular passage is "the low gospel". That's his opinion which is not necessarily mine.
The so-called low gospel is very much needed in the local churches, because the brothers are out of touch when it comes to loving your neighbor as yourself....
Is it any wonder the speaking coming from the LSM pulpit reminds me of 1 Corinthians 13:1?
