[Vision2020] Love and the Lack Thereof

[Art Deco]

Scimitar, et al,

I am not sure that the kind of messages you post pointing out the horrendous disconnect between the actions of the Wilson & Family's Cult & Cash Machine and the words of Christ as found in the primary gospels are getting through or even could get through to them.

Why?

Despite their verbal masquerades and fancy clerical dresses, it is not clear that Cultmaster Wilson and some of his henchpersons really believe in anything but themselves and in enriching themselves with wealth and power.  It does not appear to me that they really believe in any alleged god at all.  

Wilson and selected accomplices appear to me to be effective, clever con artists whose hook is religion and who offer fanciful promises to those starved/greedy for unearned special recognition, undeserved love, a strong person to fortify their weak-willed, under-self-confident psyches, and to fill other unsatisfied yearnings which they are unable to fulfill by their own efforts.

Recently, Michael and others have greatly helped expose these cult charlatans for what they are, not only by Michael's honest, probing questions and comments, but by being the victim of their clearly unchristlike, utterly unloving actions.

Though your messages may not have any effect on the flimflamers themselves, who appear consummately confident in their abilities to continue to deceive, they do suggest to the rest of us that we should be especially wary of what appears to be a palpable fraud in the name of a god that many sincerely believe in.

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death." (Proverbs 14:12)

Kirkers and those who follow like suit: your lack of "true" Christian love has made
strife among your neighbors and made you a laughingstock among your "enemies."
"Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among
themselves." (Psalm 80:6)  "But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would
none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity;..." (Proverbs 1:25, 26)

"And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be
burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.  Love is patient and kind; love
envieth not, not boastful, not proud, rude or selfish, not easily angered, thinketh no
evil.  Love does not gloat over other people's sins but takes delight in the truth."
(I Corinthians 13:3-6)

The "two Dougies" would do well to recall how they treated the "two Charlies" and
others.  Christ builds the church, not you.  The "true" church is not your personal
club and utopian dream, but the bride of Christ (made up of "individual true"
believers in Him, according to Scripture in its plain sense, and not your personally
"coveted" brand of theology) whom Christ has washed and purified and paid for by His
own blood, not yours.  "...What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common" 
(Acts 10:15 and 11:9) can also be attributed to "saved sinners."

Beware of whom you choose to alienate yourselves from as Matthew 25:40 states,
"Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
