To them we yielded with the subjection demanded not even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might remain with you. -Galatians 2:5
Overview
This website is dedicated to the defense and confirmation of the truth of the gospel as revealed in the New Testament and taught in the printed ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. The New Testament tells us that God desires the believers to know and experience Christ subjectively for the building up of the universal Body of Christ, which is expressed as local churches. This site seeks to correct misrepresentations of the teachings of these two servants of the Lord that some have propagated and to present and confirm the biblical truths that underpin their teaching.
