I didn’t bring this up in my previous replies here, but it’s been on my mind and is relevant to the conversation right now, I believe. I recall from some previous discussions between us that there’s at least one major belief that you reject about orthodox, Bible-believing Christianity. If I’m mistaken, then please correct me on that and accept my apologies. But if not, then please remind me of what that is.
Without giving a lengthy reply right now, your characterization of Christianity sounds very much like cheap grace which could not have passed the faith along and grown a church worldwide.
So is cancer a metaphor for the entrenched systems that are dug in deep, like the deep state, or is the established system that is "too big too fail" the basis from which cancer gets its legs? The chicken or the egg conundrum.
No one is going to cure cancer by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
John was the one who received the revelation (discovery) of Jesus Christ. He was the same who was very careful not to read into things:
John 21
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
John sounds like the wet blanket of the group. It might explain why he ended up on an island by himself.
