Amen Amen.
Amen.
Christians should unite, popie. They should unite in bringing sinners to renounce their sins, correct them, and come into Christ’s fellowship off the forgiven.
Recognition and conviction are the mandatory first steps, the steps you omit.
Sounds like what Ezekiel saw when he was told to dig through the wall.
Ezekiel 8:7
…7Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8“Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.
9Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”
10So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.…
“Walk through the streets of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of all who weep and sigh because of the detestable sins being committed in their city.” Then I heard the Lord say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all—old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders. “Defile the Temple!” the Lord commanded. “Fill its courtyards with corpses. Go!” So they went and began killing throughout the city. While they were out killing, I was all alone. I fell face down on the ground and cried out, “O Sovereign Lord! Will your fury against Jerusalem wipe out everyone left in Israel?” Then he said to me, “The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are very, very great. The entire land is full of murder; the city is filled with injustice. They are saying, ‘The Lord doesn’t see it! The Lord has abandoned the land!’ So I will not spare them or have any pity on them. I will fully repay them for all they have done.”
Ezekiel 9:4-10
