I've read those articles and discussed some with the author, Chris Z. He knows I don't agree with all of his writings. It is clear to me that he is basing a lot of his theology on what Calvin and others have said, rather than purely on scripture.

The basis of my thinking comes from the Bible, as it is written, not people's interpretations of it. I have seen that the Bible speaks clearly.

The doctrine of UBF is has the word of God as the foundation; it is not built on Dr.Samuel Lee's words. And no, he did not have "deity status" with me.
