If I hear what you are saying, someguy, you are saying that Lee did not just teach "just enjoy Christ." He also taught that we have to suffer, work, be tested, be "cooked." etc.

I agree with this.

But you must understand, one problem is that Lee had a way of speaking in absolutes. He would indeed say things like "just enjoy Christ" or "just stay in the Spirit" or "just become nothing," and even "just take in the ministry" (meaning his ministry).

All these "justs" were contradictory and confusing.

Since LCers were also taught to take everything Lee said at face value without question, reconciling what he meant takes some thought. Unfortunately, Lee also said "just get out of your mind," which kind of makes thinking difficult.

Wouldn't you agree?

I agree.

Somtimes if you don't have the whole picture it's fair to think another think. Like this "just get out of your mind".
