It's no clearer how much we all need the atonement than when one of our number has transgressed so seriously that it merits formal discipline.

This comparison of sin and who's better or worse than another is really problematic. If it's clear one needs the atonement for serious sin, then it must be unclear someone else needs it without serious sin. (Who defines serious anyway? It all gives the same result--shutting you out of heaven without Savior)

I know you are on this anti-church-discipline kick, because you see it as nothing but punitive. If I saw it that way, maybe I'd agree with you ... but I don't. The Lord. Via his prophets.

I wonder how Tex ever got on a high council, given that he is single? Hmmm.....
