Raptor, it's really outside the scope of this Discussion Forum to address diverse Christian books, unless, of course, they are introduced by one of our moderators.

But, on the other hand, we have examined against the word of God, so many of WL's teachings and found them wanting. Whether the "ground of locality," or "God's economy," or "the Recovery" teachings, etc. each has been examined and rejected because they fell short both of Biblical standards established in scripture and widely accepted Christian scholarship.

I think it's a good and needed discussion to compare WL's teachings on Christian discipline and judgment with the word of God. Doesn't I Peter 4.17 say, "For the time has come for judgment to begin in the house of God: and if it begins first with us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?"

Also, and quite fitting to LC members former and current, is the Lord's own words to the church at Laodicea, "Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent." - Revelation 3.19
