Do you even understand how God redeems anymore Doc? Do you understand that Romans teaches the only way someone is saved is through hearing the gospel? Not the political rantings of a fool. May He have mercy indeed! We are supposed to deliver that message of mercy Doctor Brown. We are supposed to bring the gospel to the lost. Can't you even see that you dismiss out of hand here that everyone was created in His image? That Christ did not just die for you? Imagine if there were a group of zealous, fundamentalist, political Christians at the time you were saved who worked night and day to bring down all of those drug using hippies and dismiss them out of hand as so despicable and ruining the fabric of good and decent society. You might never have been saved at all Dr. Brown. Was Mike Bickle an expression of deviation from God's design? Was Ravi Zacharias? Was Robert Morris? Now, I know they did not dress up as girls. They only molested them. Oh, and then went to preach to the church about holiness. Go back and read the articles from Charisma News throughout the Bicklegate scandal. They were just as perverse if not worse than what happened in Paris over the weekend. They were probably worse because they pretended to represent God and His church while the folks in Paris made gave no such illusions. Do not fall for this onslaught of grievance coming from faux-Christian political operatives. They do not represent Christ or His gospel. They are like the Sons of Thunder asking God to reign down fire from heaven upon people that would dare to disrespect Jesus. Except it was never about Jesus and this isn't either. It was about them and their biases and their anger, and their grievance. So, Jesus rebuked them sternly and declared they did not even know what spirit they were of. As usual, the past is often prologue.
