I'd add that one should take heed how the Bible treats scripture. Here I'm thinking specifically of New Testament (NT) reception of OT texts. (But it could also be seen in echoes of the law within wisdom literature in the OT, as well. Etc.)
The NT authors established precedent in reception of the OT. Lee clearly overturned that precedent by rejecting parts of the OT as fallen concepts of pious sinners, versus inspired revelation. Nowhere did the NT even hint that this was proper treatment. Lee even castigated NT authors (e.g. Peter, James, Jude) for being too reverent with scripture.
