Jesus of Nazareth addressed the churchmen of his day..."Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you"
When one becomes the willing victim, or slave of guilt feelings...one can deceive oneself, and call devotion to laws, the service of God.
Lip service has a well established habit of dispersing hot air that blows its way into oblivion.
We should recall that Jesus of Nazareth was not condemned, and handed over to the Roman procurator to be executed... by the action of the publicans, sinners, and those from the wrong side of the railway tracks...but by the leaders of his church...The Sanhedrin...those who enforced the Laws of Moses.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.~ J. R. R. Tolkien
