"He (Jesus) shines as the bright Morning Star." (Witness Lee).
"I (Jesus) am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” (Rev)
“How you (Satan) have fallen from heaven, O morning star." (Isaiah).

Curious indeed. I wonder if the attributing of 'morning star' to Satan was an allegorical attempt to show how far he had fallen away from God. (Though of course, Isaiah was written many centuries before Revelation).

I’ve read it argued (unconvincingly to me) that Jesus and Lucifer are theologically the same being, or that they were both angels, brothers or sorts and that the whole Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Jesus and Mohamed are a reflections of a spiritual dynastic war...and other interesting interpretations.

Edit: in the wilderness account the serpent was held up on a stick like a crucifix and this is refered to elsewhere as being a typification of Christ.

Witness Lee himself described his unique wisdom and insights as:

"High peak truths."

(http://www.ministrybooks.org/high-peak.cfm)

Tuesday wisdom by Witness Lee:

'When Christ was incarnated and born in the manger in Bethlehem, He put humanity on Himself. This humanity included us and all of creation as well. Hence, even before we were born, Christ put us on Himself. As Christ passed through human living, we passed through it with Him. Furthermore, when He went to the cross and was crucified, we were crucified with Him. Then we were buried with Him in the tomb. In fact, all of creation was buried there. Thus, Christ’s tomb was an all-inclusive tomb.'

(Life Study of Colossians)

You responded:

I thought this whole thread really showed your true colors.

Go to bed sonship.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke

Hand on your heart sonship, do you find none of the quotes attributed to Witness Lee in this thread a little 'dumb?'

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us by God.

Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit communicating spiritual things by spiritual things,

But the soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned. " (1 Cor. 2:12-14)

Folks there's nothing much new under the sun.

There were believers in Corinth who thought Paul's letters said things which made no sense to them. They were very philosophical people some of them. But they lacked experience in spiritual growth.

Paul had to remind them that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.

"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." (1 Cor. 1:25)

No.

If I spent no time with the word of God and was unregenerated man and living in the natural mind, I would consider all spiritual teaching of the servants of God as "foolishness."

Great.

Tomorrow I will take you through them and you can argue against the dumbness.
