Re: Modalism
Lee had a unique form of modalism as far as I know- the processed triune god. In presenting God in such a manner, his source material, the Father, became a rather useless, historical figure who was seldom brought out in LC practice, because, really He was processed into Jesus. So Jesus became the all in all, all things were prescribed to Jesus, and anything received from Jesus was through the Jesus become “a” oops THE life giving Spirit. So it was all Jesus- the processed one.
It was of no consequence that Jesus said such things as I am the way... no one comes to the Father except by me, or that eternal life was to know the Father, the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent. Considering the Father was a waste of time, other than He had to be a place holder, an historic figure, a source- but not to be reckoned with, because the process produced the end product, Jesus.
Of course, none of this is the narrative of the NT, so a recovery version had to be produced with scripture and a whole lot of footnotes lest one just read scripture and drift away from the Lee version of God. ( which is why Psalms became so problematic- how could you have people singing about God and His Christ and follow the Lee theology?) But this was and is the content of the LC/Recovery, and LSM would not be in business without it.
