There's a difference between preaching and teaching. Preaching is calling attention to the subject, teaching is getting into the nuts and bolts of how to understand the subject. In terms of fly fishing, preaching is the lure, teaching is the hook. Wierwille preached a lot of things that were true about Jesus Christ and God, but what he practised and taught were far different and just self-serving.
There were a lot of people at the twig level who were honestly doing their best to love God and help his people. God was able to work with and through those people. But as people advanced through the "Way tree of learning," we were manipulated into turning our hearts to serving the MOG and away from serving the Lord.
The truths that Wierwille preached as a lure were Noble. His practices and teachings were as Base as they could be.
