What does this mean for the recovery paradigm? Does it mean the concept of recovery should be repudiated, rejected outright? Not necessarily. It does mean that LSM’s premier example, the Old Testament ‘type’ of recovery—“exhibit A” in their argument that ‘recovery’ is a self-evident biblical principle, ought to be rejected as invalid. It is still possible to maintain that God wants to restore the Church to its original pristine state described in Scripture. This position has a long history, preceding the “Lord’s Recovery.” However, the biblical basis for such a recovery paradigm is much more tenuous than LSM asserts, so adherents ought to re-examine its validity in the light of Scripture.

Interesting.
Excellent, as always, Dr. Tomes.
