What Watchman Nee Contributed
to the Church in China
倪柝聲為中國教會貢獻了什麼
The most common argument used by Watchman Nee’s fans
to defend Watchman Nee is: “You may dislike Watchman Nee, but you cannot deny
Watchman Nee’s contribution to the Chinese church.” This pragmatic argument is
another expression of the devil’s tricks to tempt the Lord Jesus: Whoever can
turn stones into bread and fill you up is your heavenly father.... Charismatics
are pagans who worship evil spirits, and it is within reasonable to accept this
demonic logic. All those who accept this kind of evil spirits will inevitably
become extremely foolish in the truth of God (Romans 1:21 They became vain in
their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools),
and even cannot discern Basic facts and common sense, and they don't bother to
tell whether it's poisonous milk or the sincere milk of the word. They don't
know in the judgment, their sycophantic words will be used as evidence of the
wolf-headed idol they worship. The greater the "contribution" of
these wolves, the more people they seduce to hell, the greater their crime.
The anti-intellectual and anti-theological
traditions dominant in Chinese church;
the tradition of 2,000-year-old church doctrine and ordinance is anti-Christ;
bypassing the 2,000-year-old church tradition and directly knocking on the door
of Jesus; believing in Christ, not being a Christian; a man is not justified by
the faith of Christ, but eat and drink Jesus and eat the bread that came down
from heaven; God destroy the previous world because angels rebelled against God
were judged, and then recreated this world; and so on many mainstream thinking
is Watchman Nee's poisonous legacy. Let's take a look at Watchman Nee's
contribution to the church in China.
After Watchman Nee published "How I Turned
Around", he surrendered to the Golden Calf Religion and became one of his
own. Therefore, protecting Watchman Nee and drawing a clear line between
Watchman Nee and Witness Lee who fled overseas with impunity became the
responsibility of the Golden Calf Religion. So the China Three-Self Patriotic
Church（CCC/TSPM） released a version in which Witness Lee betrayed Watchman Nee and
defected to Taiwan. Actually think about it with your toes and you know it's a
lie. As Watchman Nee's most trusted confidant, Witness Lee was sent by Watchman
Nee to Taiwan in March 1949 to preserve the remnants In order to prevent the
situation changes and catched all in one draft. Watchman Nee chose Witness Lee
as his second in command because he liked Witness Lee's loyalty and obedience. At the beginning of 1950, Watchman Nee went to
Hong Kong to lead worship, summoned Witness Lee from Taiwan to Hong Kong, and
entrusted the Local Churche in Hong Kong to Witness Lee care of. At this fellowship meeting, Watchman
Nee made a "Declaration" in front of the elders of the Local Churche
in Hong Kong. Nee said, "Brother Witness Lee is here, please forgive me
for saying this: an attack on him is an attack on me. ;Brother Witness Lee's
wrong, and I was wrong. Many people gave us easy shallow criticism, but in the
end they didn't even lift one of little finger." In fact, Witness Lee was
indeed the most faithful inheritor and practitioner of Watchman Nee’s weird
theological thought. Those who say that Watchman Nee is orthodox and Witness
Lee heresy are either hypocrites who
have no respect for Watchman Nee at all, or they are just fools like paste
bugs, follow the crowd as parrot, who don't bother to investigate the facts.
Witness Li also expressed dejectedly that the same point of view, when Watchman
Nee said it, everyone supported it, but Witness Li said it same became a
heresy. It shows that people are still worshiping God- Nee, but they often make
make light of him the youngster rising
star. Witness Li did not accept this, and once pointed out that the people who
criticized him Witness Lee, also criticized Watchman Nee incidentally, but
because these critics were hypocritical, cowardly and nasty, they only dared to
disrespect Witness Li, not Dare to fangs at senior Watchman Nee.
Watchman Nee's choice of Witness Lee was also a very
smart decision, because Witness Lee was much more straightforward than Watchman
Nee. In the same sense, Watchman Nee only said a few points, gave a little
hint, and didn't explain it clearly, so people couldn't catch his braids.
However, Witness Lee foolishly expressed Watchman Nee's meaning without
compromise, so the one who was beaten was always Witness Lee, and Watchman Nee
was always the good guy. From Witness Lee’s church’s collection and compilation
of Watchman Nee’s speeches into books, and the contribution of making Watchman
Nee’s thoughts immortal, we can see how wise Watchman Nee was in choosing
Witness Lee. Others could never be so faithful, nor have such insights and
talents.
Watchman Nee's heresy doctrine was concentrated in the
distortion of Christology and Trinity Theory. Watchman Nee believed that Christ
was the first created being, the firstborn of all things. But if Christ is a
created being, then worshiping the created Christ becomes idolatry. In order to
resolve this contradiction, Watchman Nee invented the incarnation of the entire
Triune God as Christ, and then Christ died and raised up from the dead as the
Holy Spirit. This is Watchman Nee's
one-God trinitas Theology. In this way, now there is no God the Father,
no Christ, only the "Holy Spirit" is left, and the "Holy Spirit"
has become the most practical, real, unique, and eternal form of existence of
the Triune God at present, so worshiping this "Holy Spirit" is To
worship God the Father is to worship Christ. This "Holy Spirit" is a
pure spirit, without a physical body, not a creature, but God the Father and
God the Son Christ (not Jesus in the flesh), thus avoiding the danger of
idolatry. At the same time, Christians who receive the life of Christ given by
the Holy Spirit through faith become little Christs and Gods. From this we can
see that Watchman Nee’s theological and church thoughts are another gospel that
is against God, a false gospel, a paganism that worships spirits (evil spirits,
devils), and has the same nature and origin as the charismatics that worship
evil spirits. The same routine and purpose as all pagan religions: first create
or find an empty and false thing to replace the true god, and then find out
that I can create gods myself, so why worship that god, you might as well just
worship myself. Witness Lee faithfully inherited Watchman Nee’s theological thought
and practiced it in himself: Because of receiving the life of Christ given by
the Spirit, he became Christ and became the Lord God. To call on
Lord-Witness-Lee is to call on the name of the Lord. It can be seen from this
that what Watchman Nee invented was a set of efficient and practical shortcuts
for creating damnable heresies and god-making systems. Watchman Nee’s view of
the “kingdom” makes this system of godmaking extraordinarily practical. It can
not only create gods, but also create emperors, and reign with Christ in the
kingdom of Christ on earth. The greatest wish of blessing in this life and
eternal life can be realized in this system. This system is so effective and
practical that almost all heresies and cults that have emerged in China in the
past century have directly or indirectly come from the Local Churches system of
Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. This is the contribution of Watchman Nee to the
church in China. Because almost all the celebrities in the Chinese church are
still supporting Watchman Nee, so the poisonous legacy of Watchman Nee will
remain extremely harmful for a long time to come.
In 1935, Watchman Nee, who was physically and mentally
exhausted by the marriage turmoil, went to Yantai, Witness Lee’s hometown, to
recuperate. During the charismatic worship in Yantai, Watchman Nee was filled
with the evil spirits of the charismatic sect and was restored. Since then, he
has brought the evil spirits of the charismatic sect into the Local Churches,
and received strong support from the China Inland Mission(CIM&OMF), so
Watchman Nee’s Local Churches system is actually the origin of the massive
development of the indigenization of charismatic heresy. We can see that the
Charismatics were able to flourish in China and quickly became popular. The
strength of the Local Churches system and its derivative sects is an important
success factor. It can be seen that the spirit in Watchman Nee is exactly the
same as the evil spirit of the Charismatic heresy. Charismatic heresy have also
learned a lot from the successful experience of Watchman Nee's Local Churches.
For example, the small-group model widely promoted by Charismatics is born out
of the Local Churches 's "Gospel, family, group, district sunday
worship" development model.
In July 2009, the Chinese government website announced
that there were 14 cults officially designated as cults, of which 7 were
clearly identified by the General Office of the Central Committee and the
General Office of the State Council, and 7 were identified and clearly
identified by the Ministry of Public Security. Among them, eight are
native-born (although the Shouters sect were brought by Witness Lee from the
United States, but Lee himself was sent to leave the mainland by Watchman Nee,
the leader of the Local Churches ( the Little Flock ), on the eve of
liberation, so they are native-born heresies) pretending to be Christian
heresies, Six of them are directly and indirectly from the Shouters sect of the
church, and the other two also have a constant relationship with the Shouters
sect, and the main body of believers is still composed of the original Shouters
sect .

Not only that, there are several sects that are not
included in the 14 cults, but are regarded as cults: Lord-Changshou sect,
Administrative Deacon Station in Mainland China, South China Church (SCC) and
Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God, God of Reality, and Lord of
Ability, all of them derivative from the Shouters sect. Since the root of the
Shouters is Watchman Nee's Local Churches ( Little Flock ), these heretical
cults can all be regarded as Watchman Nee's contribution to the church in
China. Nee's Fans argued, can the teacher be blamed for the students' mistakes?
In fact, whether these heresies are absurd theological theories or unique
church organization models, they were all learned from Watchman Nee's Local
Churches, and they also came directly or indirectly from the Local Churches
system of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. What kind of tree bears what kind of
fruit, this is the principle God taught us, from these bad fruits we can be
sure that Watchman Nee is a bad tree. It's just that those Nee's fans who
worship evil spirits are pagans who have never repented, and they never intend
to repent, so they will never smash their idol of God Nee.
Don’t think that Watchman Nee’s mistakes will gradually
lose their influence with his departure. With so many elites and sects working
for Watchman Nee, it can be predicted that Watchman Nee’s fallacious theology
will unite with the evil spirits of the Charismatic sect for a long time. It
has become a nightmare for the Chinese church, and the Chinese are reluctant to
smash the idol of God-Nee. This kind of disaster is always real and imminent,
and cannot be escaped.
