I believe they have done a lot of good for millions of people
IN SPITE OF
their serious trashy flaws, sins and excesses.
Biblical greats were too often not greatly better in this or that moral area of their lives. I can’t think of a single Biblical great who had a reputation for raising wonderfully Godly sons, for example.
God warned some years ago through many prophetic voices that HE was going to expose such people and sins. He’s been doing it for some time now. He’s not stopping yet.
AND . . . the Scripture is clear . . . that though God would begin such disciplinary activities within the Body of Christ—the sinners outside the body of Christ would fare even worse.
Folks who are quick to judge Paul and Jan would do well to insure that what they are judging THEM on does not stain the saintly visage in their mirrors.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Christ, after all, chose twelve very different apostles. Peter was not like John who was not like Paul who was not like James who was not like Thomas.
For instance, some of us focus more on God in large congregations gathered in elegant cathedrals while others do so alone on a mountaintop. Some praise God when they see an infant, others when they see an elderly person struggling to walk.
And our differences can indeed evoke strong reactions from other Christians as they did among the apostles (e.g. Acts.)
Some embrace traditions as holy, some eschew traditions altogether. Some embrace additional writings as holy, some are appalled at such things. Some keep an open ear to modern prophets while others believe there will be no more prophecy.
And, as in this case, some may be offended by the appearance/behavior of these while others may be offended by the appearance/behavior of conventional religious authorities.
I say, God knows exactly what He is doing.
His Name is I AM.
