It occurs to me that this verse is central to most of the threads on this forum.
1. "If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator" certainly applies to most of the concerns about PL, JI, JS, etc.
2. "...covetous" can certainly be applied to the entire Daystar fiasco.
3. "...idolater" can be a reasonable understanding of the MOTA teaching and all of the strange behaviors that have grown out of that.
4. "...railer" could refer to the behavior of many LC leaders, most notably TC, but others have also been mentioned to have this particular characteristic.
5. "...drunkard" -- haven't heard much about this other than some very brief references to TL, WL's other son.
6. "...extortioner" could refer to the way in which LSM forces churches to buy their books, or the way in which elders are forced to pledge loyalty to LSM, or the way in which meeting halls are seized, or the way in which TC was quarantined, etc.
Therefore, for all the sins and shortcomings mentioned here on this forum, shouldn't the biggest one be that too many of the saints in the LC ignored Paul's admonition in ICor 5:11?
