The author did not go in this direction, but I am going to go there. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians addressed division. The practice of promoting division through quarantines/excommunication that exist in the LSM/LC has been a baggage Lee brought from his Brethren experiences.
Brothers have been besmirched as being rebels. Whom should they obey, men or God?
I suggest brothers were branded as being ambitious, rebellious, etc because they choose to obey God rather than a man.
