What Watchman Nee Contributed to

the Church in China

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.

The main point is to remind Christians to completely reject all the

teachings of the Local Churches of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee,

completely resist the charismatic evil spirits that Watchman Nee and

Witness Lee worship, spread, and promote, and refuse to participate in

their Local Churches system. Christians who understand Chinese can
