Second Corinthians 6:8 -

RcV

Through glory and dishonor,
through evil report and good report;
as deceivers and yet true.

V.9

As unknown and yet well known; as dying and yet behold we live; as being disciplined and yet not being put to death;

v.10

As made sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing all things. "

In the words borrowed from the late John Silber dean of Boston University -

"I wish some of you would shut up and learn something."

"'We are told in the New Testament that we are “partakers of the divine nature” and that “we will be like Him.” This means that we are becoming God in life and nature.'"

I cannot fathom that stretch. How can anyone say that being a "partaker" and "be like him" means "becoming God"?

It is a blasphemy to say "God said" when He didn't say it at all. To mischaracterize the scriptures as saying what it's not saying is why so many cults exists today.

It's akin to adding to, and taking away from the Word of God.

Thanks for keeping the thread relevant. [my bolds]

A United States Congressman Honors Chinese Christian Teachers
Watchman Nee and Witness Lee
Affirms their outstanding contribution to Christianity

Calls on the Chinese government to recognize their extraordinary accomplishments
far beyond China
On April 29, 2014, Mr. Joe Pitts, a senior member of the United States Congress, entered
a statement in the Congressional Record honoring the contribution of the Chinese
theologian and evangelist Witness Lee to Christianity all over the globe. Joe Pitts noted
that Watchman Nee’s story and accomplishments have been well-known in the Western
world and his contribution was acknowledged four years ago through another member of
the United States Congress, Chris Smith. However, Witness Lee, who continued Nee’s
ministry and publications outside of China and spread it overseas, was less known.
Therefore, Joe Pitts entered a statement into the Congressional Record in order to honor
the outstanding contribution of this faithful servant of God.
