By subscribing to a "social gospel" message and "social justice" program, the Church has committed itself to be guided by the wishes of the kosmos, the world system, rather than by Biblical truths. IMHO

You can no doubt fine that. At the same time, had you been at our humble, rural church yesterday, you'd have heard about Jacob's flight from home after, with his mother's help, he'd deceived his father and cheated his brother. God got his attention in a dream with a stairway to heaven. (Gen 28)

Well, Chaplain, I know a little bit about Jacob and what he represents. The point is, when you really entrust your whole being unto the disposition of He Who sits in the Chair of Judgment, and the Holy Spirit issues a summons from that Judge, is not confession of that fault--a true repentance--an abandoning of that act and mindset--needed for the judge to vacate His order? Is that true whether it is an individual or a congregation identifying with Him? N'est ce pas?
