It depends on what we consider is "wrong." LSM built their teaching around Moses marrying a foreigner, and Noah drinking too much wine. They then infer that any error by The Deputy Authority, regardless of seriousness, is only a test to the rest of God's people. Any and all criticisms of this Deputy will result in swift judgment from God.

But look at the fruit of such a teaching. Has God really given a carte blanche license for some "Deputy" to sin? What then are the limits placed on his failures? And how is it that the Deputy alone gets to decide that he alone is the Deputy? At least the Pope has a college of Cardinals to select him.

Think about the lust for power which then inevitably develops in fallen leaders. Who would not want to be above the law concerning all their failures. I have long been convinced that the constant rivalry between Anaheim and Cleveland was due to such perks for the winner. Could not Lee's successor, the subsequent MOTA, now eliminate his rival by fabricated charges resulting in quarantine.

Does not these MOTA teachings, by definition, result in ecclesiastical politics? Is this not ruling like the Gentiles? Did not our Lord specifically warn us about this?
