There are certain places upon the Earth where The LORD and God and Christ Messiah IS treated as though They were 'visitors/strangers' to that land.. As though, if They were to 'arrive' there, They would be as 'visitors/strangers' and not as though They were always a 'part' of the daily Life. Treated as newly arriving visitors/strangers.
And when and if They do begin to respond to such 'claims' and 'reasonsings' to the residents' complaints as to not want Them there; when and if They begin responding as though They really were visitors/strangers, then those within those lands; who are with Them in Spirit and Heart/the believers, etc... might actually believe Their 'strangeness' Way(s) and begin asking for Them to depart out of the land, themselves.
This whole concept of 'saving the unsaved' more than 'keeping saved the saved' has led to more pains and sufferings than actual 'savings', in my opinion. You cannot make a person 'save' for their retirement IF they do not want to...
*3 wolves walk into a Church and take a look around seeking whom there are they can 'provoke'.
The Church attendees go up to them, offer a friendly handshake and welcomes them into the Church.
Soon the service starts and the Pastor asks if there are any newly arriving visitors. The 3 wolves raise their hands, stands up and gives a short sentence as to where they are from, etc... The Church members greet them with applause and a warm welcoming. The introductions are finished and the sermon beings. After the sermon ends the congregation rise and meet in the meeting area where they converse with each other, have some pastries; some coffee, some juice, etc... they sit in the chairs and sofas, the couches, around the tables; etc...
They are having fellowship in that meeting area..
The 3 wolves look around and take their seat... still looking around to see whom there ARE, now, they can intentionally 'not spare'....
Another set of Church laymen approach, welcome the wolves and blesses them with Godly blessings and wonderful hopes for them to remain in the Church... Soon after the Pastor and his 'team' approach; introduces themselves and etc, etc, etc... same welcoming, same warmth, same blessings.
After several months, or weeks, or even years of the wolves going to this Church once a week, they begin their wolf pursuits... They begin planting seeds, they begin causing small brush fires within the congregation, they begin doing these sorts of things... The congregation needs to keep these things at bay and so are busy mending the wrongs and the breaks that are occurring. Soon; however, it is known that the 3 newly arrived members are having problems of their own and because of these problems are the ones who are leaving those seeds, causing the wrongs, causing the breaks, causing those small brush fires among the congregation. But the Pastor and his team, the congregation will not let these 3 walk away from the Church... No..
Instead, the entire Church is in this together... They will help those 3 regardless if the Church walls fall down...
Is this a True Church; a Loving Church: a Godly Church?
