Major Errors of Witness Lee’s Teaching

[Evangelical]

"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach." Matt 23:2-3.

Evangelical is sometimes "right" in letter. But he is almost always wrong in spirit. His grasp of oneness is superficial and according to law, not according to the actual spirit of what oneness is. True oneness can never be the fruit of such an approach.

So why arent you careful to do everything we tell you?

Ha,ha. Jeremiah 31:34/Hebrews 8:11 is the reality today. Our dependence on Moses-like leaders is OT and obsolete. The early Apostles were a transitional thing. But once the Bible was completed such leaders were no longer part of God's economy. Witness Lee as MOTA is regressive and actually contrary to NT reality.

God obviously trusts his Spirit more than he trusts a legalistic system with absolute authority at the top. That being the case we need to trust the Spirit/conscience in others. The LCM practice of disrespecting persons and groups who don't submit to their line of authority is contrary to that.
