Quote:
It is easy for anyone to be humble, admit the failure, and confess it. But if Noah had been like that, what would have become of God’s government on this earth? What about his descendants? What about God’s economy, God’s administration? It would have been all right for Noah to make such a confession, but it would have meant the ruin of God’s government on earth.
Witness Lee, Life-Study of Genesis, Message 33, pg. 443

It allows for a leader to be justified in anything they do, right or wrong. I feel sorry for those bound to this teaching. They will be abused by it sooner or later.

Isn't this what bro. OBW called 'Eisegesis' on AltVs, or, the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions?
Isn't Lee doing what my cousin did when he interpreted the Noah story as God's order in the Bible of holding slaves?
To me Lee and my cousin, concerning Noah, is the same-same.
And oddly enough, they both refer to holding slaves.
