I have a deep understanding that some are so deeply hurt and bear a burden they need to lay down, because when what they are is shown, a repeating tax collector caught in a repeating ground hog day, it is too big a burden to bear.
Sadly some theologians have said the closer they get to God the more deeply they feel condemned and lost.
I do empathise as a young believer the sense of a gap in ones heart between knowing how Jesus would respond and how we can respond in ourselves. But mature men and women of God, trapped here means they have missed something fundamental in their lives. Learning to step back, calm ones soul, bring people before the throne of grace, understand who and what we are caught in this mortal world on the edge of eternity, it is easy to not see things as Jesus does.
But to condemn and teach others, to claim one has a deeper insight into the eternal realities of Jesus and condemn doing good, loving and caring for the poor, seeing need and meeting it, talking and encouraging those who carry the flame of love in a dark place, is not to know Jesus but to fight against Him and His church. These wraths of hatred and loathing, have no place in the fellowship of believers or His church. They desire cleansing, not seeing they are the ones who will be cleansed by a purified, Holy people as we walk with Jesus in His victory and power, Amen
