1 | Watchman Nee a cultist? | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187600 | ||
Doc, Please be specific as to "why" Watchman Nee is considered a cultist? I have one of his books and from what I know he has a very good reputation. Thanks..... Psalm 25 |

Doc, Thanks for the reply, but when you label someone a "cultist" that implies far more than a misrepresentation of the trinity. I read the articles in the berean website and I do have a problem with Watchman Nee's conclusions. Maybe I don't comprehend the significance of his error but I do not see how he qualifies as a cultist. If that is the case I could list over half the preachers on Christian t.v. as their errors are far more numerable and far more devistating. Can you clearify? Psalm 25 |

Psalm 25, Good observation. I too could list a significant percentage of the preachers on "Christian tv" as cultist. Perhapse more than half. Any misrepresentation of truth will qualify the label. I wonder how much farther YOU allow for. Two misrepresentations, three, or maybe four? Not sure; at what level of misrepresentation does one become guilty? Matt 12:30 ESV 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Pretty clearly stated don't you agree, Jeff |

Jeff, I am not trying to "split hairs." I am extremely upset/concerned about doctrinal errors that are growing by leaps and bounds. What I was addressing, in all respect, was that Watchman Nee was labeled a cultist. While not defending him whatever my understanding of "cultist" is anyone who leads others away from salvation and/or leads them "to paths of destruction" and into the arms of Satan which will result in them going to hell. I do not see how Watchman Nee is saying anything that would qualify him as a cult leader or a cultist. I am as dedicated and as sincere in promoting truth and exposing error as any one I know. I am just concerned when we put "labels" on someone whom we may have a disagreement with even if that disagreement is a large one. Your thoughts? Psalm 25 |

Thanks John, So then, do you label Watchman Nee as a cult leader or cultist? All I know is his unorthodoxed explaination of the trinity. While I am not really sure what Nee means, how does this label him cultist? Curiously, Psalm 25 |

Hi P25 Well,... By definition, I think he would be a cultist. Doesn't mater what my opinion is really. If his definition of The Trinity, differs from, Jesus is God, the Holly Spirit is God, and, the father is God. I'd say, yes, he is defiantly a cultist. God bless. John |
