Taylor,
I’m sorry but I thought you were asking for evidence of him harming the sheep when you posted: “But I haven't noticed any evidence posted or cited with regard to things like harming the sheep (outside of issue people have with his doctrine).”
I understood you to be looking for concrete evidence that would either: (a) legitimize the concerns people have had with Wilson’s doctrine, or (b) point to additional (non doctrinal) ways in which Wilson harmed the sheep.
If you’re satisfied with (a), that Wilson indeed did harm the sheep with confusing and even damning doctrine, then I think (b), for all practical purposes, is moot. In other words, if Wilson did (a), then (b) pales insignificant.
Yes, I agree we must be even hyper careful in light of the Ninth Commandment. However, I’m not quite sure how it’s even possible to harm the sheep by introducing damnable heresy without also harming the sheep in other divisive ways. Doug Wilson’s teaching and associations did just that. Not only did FV disturb the souls of the saints, FV destroyed churches and relationships.
Wilson should have renounced his pulpit ministry and taken his seat in the pew years ago. Even his public apology was more of the same, utterly confusing.
I appreciate your earnest desire to defend one’s good name. That is honorable.
That’s why I wanted examples, because I just didn’t know what that phrase meant.
I see. Yes, when I requested evidence for “harming the sheep,” I added the deliberate qualifier “outside issues with false doctrine” because “harming the sheep,” at least in this case, was mixed in with this like accusations of sexual abuse, blackmailing, etc. I wasn’t sure if “harming the sheep” then had to do merely with false doctrine, or something more. That’s why I wanted examples, because I just didn’t know what that phrase meant.
And I want to re-emphasize, I have no particular interest in defending Wilson. I have never read anything he’s written, not even a blog post. I’ve never even heard him speak. It’s not like I am trying to defend him (frankly I don’t really particularly like him, outside of his social commentary), and I don’t want it to come off that way. I guess these days I am particularly sensitive to people on social media (which includes this forum) throwing labels out at people, without giving credible, concrete evidence in that context (i.e., not simply saying, “Go look it up”), and then suspecting everyone who doesn’t entirely want to believe them of being in sincere support of said person and their alleged sin. It happens all the time and everywhere.
But, as I said earlier, people here have provided evidence, for which I am thankful, and which I will look into.
Sorry for the confusion.
Hopefully if they’re legitimate, I hope they’ve already been addressed ecclesiastically and that suitable counseling is in place

This man should never be within 20 feet of a pulpit.
Maybe a church plant in Moscow Idaho is a good idea. The church marqueee can say, "Flee to us from the Crazies."
@VictorBravo Are you on it?
