Who, after reading the record of Achan’s sin and punishment, can think it according to the will of God that those who do wickedly, refusing to repent, are to be retained in the church? To retain them would be an insult to the God of heaven (Letter 215, 1902).{5BC 1096.7}18. See EGW comment on John 20:23.{5BC 1096.8}

Hvem kan, efter at have læst beretningen om Akans synd og straf, tro at det er i overensstemmelse med Guds vilje at dem som handler ondt, nægter at angre, skal forblive i menigheden? At bibeholde disse vil være en forhånelse imod himlens Gud (Brev 215, 1902).
