Now back to James.... this forum rents it's clothes and throws dust in the air because Brother Lee finds little or no revelation concerning God's economy in the book of James. Afazio throws James under the bus citing him as the responsible source for every bad thing that happened in the infant church and this same forum cheers and applauds her for incredible insight and clarity of mind.

I think I have been every bit as strong and favorable to Jame's ministry as anyone on this forum, but I don't see where Afazio "throws him under the bus". The reality is that Peter had a major failing, Paul had a major failing and James also had a major failing. Each failing became critical to their respective ministry. Paul saw the Body of Christ as a result, Peter opened the door of the kingdom to both Jews and Gentiles as a result, and James saw how to deal with the danger of a false prophet.
Paul said this:
14 in order that we may be no longer babes, tossed and carried about by every wind of teaching in the sleight of men, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized error;
James gives us much more detail on exactly how we could do that.

I have not read the booklet and it, along with anything Afazio has said concerning WL has not had the slightest effect on my posts.

Yes, I agree that the discussion on this forum dismissing the "Jerusalem principle" has not been helpful or enlightening to me. I do agree that there is a rush to condemn any teaching that WL gave.
