Nee was gifted at waxing flamboyant with scripture. Not just with this minor concern, of Christians and government, but with his flagship doctrine ; that of the ground of the church. Nowhere in the New Testament is the doctrine or principle of one church one city explicitly developed. Nee embellished it into an extra-Biblical doctrine and dogma, and made it the bases of his movement.

Same with the MOTA ... that we've yet to discuss.
