Default Re: One Thing Witness Lee Got Flat Right

Interesting points. Please take a name, and consider commenting more.

How ironic that you used James and Psalms, two books that WL disparaged the most. What bothered me the most about the excessive use of the phrase "enjoy the Lord" is that it was used at the wrong time. There is a time to enjoy, there is a time to cry, there is a time to repent, there is a time to suffer, and there is a time to confess sins.

The fact that WL and the Blendeds used, abused, and misused this phrase indicates that they were not really "enjoying Christ" after all.

The portion I placed in bold is what can be considered as experiencing Christ. Blendeds and LSM/LC's in general are too locked into the positive aspects, for them to experience Christ is to enjoy the Lord. A time to cry, a time to repent, a time to suffer, and a time to confess sins is considered as being negative and thus ignored.
Sorry to say; if it's not positive, it's not considered profitable in experiencing Christ.
