What have we learned?

This is what we all need to learn. It is a huge problem in the LRC, but still a significant problem in Christianity in general, at least the Evangelical/Fundamental wings. We are all too often lost in a forest of actual truth trying to force two words to wag the dog into something that isn't really there.

Yet, at some level, it is in parsing the scriptures Lee used, along with their contexts that showed me many of his errors. If you actually follow the grammar of the sentence within the paragraph within the whole passage, there is suddenly a completely different meaning and truth. And that is the one that was put there. Not the context-less gibberish like "Jesus is just the Spirit."
