To: Mark17

There’s apostates and then there are rank unbelievers.

We’re warned by our Lord that tares will appear in churches, and that they won’t all be rooted out in this life, which is also why the Lord’s paradoxical exhortation to “dead” churches to save what is living. Maybe some of the attendees still get the point of Christ. But they are going to suffocate if they keep going to that congregation. And they are also going to be a party to great evil.

I try to be very slow to condemn anyone based on externals, and to give the Lord every credit for conducting salvations through seemingly impossible situations, but we have here a very disobedient body at best, and a lot of committed pagans at worst. I truly hope the people there get the point of Christ’s transcendent care for even the least. I can’t believe that they have no history, that there is no way of pain that the Lord can bring them to grieve and repent that once brought them to this juncture.

I certainly hope some of them repent.
