As a secondary point, "put on Christ" can mean a lot of things other than te wielding of authority over others. |
I don't think we were ever in disagreement. I think that WN misapplied a legitimate principle. I think that the verse "put on Christ" is an example of the NT version of this principle and this proves that WN, WL and the blendeds misapply it. As others have said the authority is Christ. Moses is a good example and Christ is the fulfillment. The idea that someone would apply that to themselves is self serving and an insult to the Lord Jesus.
His teaching being erroneous doesn't mean the principle that he based it on is. On the contrary I would say he took a Biblical principal that is applied in the NT to the Lord Jesus and applied it to himself. That would make him a "false Christ". Ouch. Look at how dangerous it is to not be balanced by others in fellowship.
