Peter said that David was a prophet (Acts 2:30) and foreknew of the coming Christ. WL disagreed, saying that David was speaking according to his natural, soulish concepts. David prophesied of a persecuted righteous man, saved by God. WL said that no one is righteous, and that David actually saved himself.
There is nothing to support this. The apostle John didn't support it, nor did Paul. Only WL's "economy of God" stands behind this kind of analysis. And who in the Lord's recovery could object to this kind of teaching, and "restrain the madness of the prophet"? Everyone was intimidated into silence. Is it any wonder that WL eventually went off the rails, and dragged so many with him?
LSM can get as many theologians as they want to verify WL's orthodoxy. That doesn't remove the unbalanced and non-Christian teachings and behaviors.
