"The Lord doth build up Jerusalem; he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:2,3

Sweet! There are those who shun the outcasts of Israel (church?), but God gathers them in, healing them.

And what does He do with those who shunned them?

Just sits there and lets them keep on doing it and worst, most criminal of all: keep on thinking they are RIGHT in doing it.

Heaven forbid He should SPEAK to them and set them straight.

While they sit there dreaming theologies to destroy us for all eternity ... all we want is for Him to speak up and tell them the truth about what they are doing.

WE have no NEED to see them destroyed ... we just want the garbage they are DOING to others to STOP.

Nicodema, representative Outcast

Throughout His earthly walk He did have harsh words for those who "just didn't get it", for those who abused children, who hated their enemies, who loved their wealth, etc

But most of His time was spent in healing. His main attentions were given to those who were in suffering. The lost would receive their reward in good time. His time was devoted to those who were in need of mercy

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted,
to reach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." Lk 4:18,19, quoted from Is.61:1,2

When Jesus quoted these verses, he left out the end of verse 2: "and the day of vengeance of our God." He didn't include it when reading out loud in church that day, but it is part of the package

And yet He permits these very people, the ones who look but don't see, who "don't get it", to overrun His church, dominate His paradigm, pass themselves and their foul notions and twistings of all things sacred as HIS Way, Truth, and Life. And drive from His side and His temple those who SEE, those who KNOW, those who PROTEST, but are ignored, trampled down, tossed aside, driven out, despised, rejected ...



And even among friends they cannot speak forth of these things, because one lies in wait to accuse them of allegiance to the devil and the sowing of discord ... ... and to him they ALL listen because he mouths vacouous legalistic snooty holier-than-thou platitudes and feigns a gentle spirit whilst twisting the knife in ... visto ... viactor ... viactore!!!!!
