Gothardism
Concerning the IBLP: Gothardism, Making doctrine out of the commandments of men, etc.
I remember being taught to follow "scripture formulas" to make things happen.
For example, praying the "hedge of thorns" on a son or daughter that has gone wayward and to find the prayer answered in that they end up coming home because no one wants anything to do with them anymore.
in my opinion it subtly makes God's actions dependent on what we do.

Can you explain more specifically what is wrong with this? I had some superficial acquaintance with it years ago and thought it was good but don't have much memory of it.

Legalism 101. I recall Gothard didn't like men with beards. In his mind it indicated a lack of humility. Not sure what he thought about women with beards.

Ditto to all that has been said. I was an employee of Gothard's in the early 1980s and knew Gothard and his family and relatives personally.
My wife and I are reading "20 and Counting" by the Duggars. In the back of the book they have a resource section with a list of books found on the IBLP website, I honestly do not know much about this site/group, can anyone fill me in on what they teach?
Thanks.

*Looks around for Lady Flynt* She will have a few choice words about this. I remember going to his seminar and the HUGE notebook. Ditto to the negative comments. Even the stuff that is common sense, in his book if you don't do it you are not Christian. Very legalistic.
You're better off just reading the Puritans.
