“When a call finally comes in they swarm to the scene and act like apes. You see three and four cars out on an interstate, where they don’t belong anyway, for a speeder stop.”
Exactdly! I our town, where there is virtually no crime, a mid-evening traffic stop ( for say going 30 in a 25) draws every car that’s out. They are like flies around a toilet seat! And they are anxious for there to be some sort of a confrontation so that they can abuse a citizen just for fun!
I’ve been talking about seared consciences.
This sounds like an example.
Consciences are given by God to direct people to where love is.
Well when the person allows himself to be beguiled by the hatred from Satan, they direct people to hate like Satan hates, instead. The bible calls it “searing as with a hot iron.”
The answer is and always was, pure gospel. The love of God poured out so as to overwhelm the hate of Satan.
That’s it exactly!
