Families of locally finite dimensional simple Lie algebras are constructed, which can not be presented as direct limits of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras. This answers a question raised by \textit{R. K. Amayo} and \textit{I. Stewart} [``Infinite dimensional Lie algebras'', Leyden (1974; Zbl 0302.17006)]. For locally finite groups analogous examples exist, however, the proof needs very sophisticated methods. The present construction might give a hint how to find examples in the group case as well.
