i couldn't disagree there, tbh; i just have been seeking to understand the Cross in a more spiritual light in response to the groundswell against what i might describe as too literal an acceptance of the Cross--or if not then in whatever it is that fosters so much hypocrisy. i certainly would not wanna be the guy who heard about Christ, but rejected the literal message for whatever reason, instead thinking i had a better way to God; but i know about a son who said that he would not, too, yet he went and did anyway.
Of course what is inescapable is that no one is going to fool God; yet we are told that many are going to fool themselves, and these must be conflated with those who declared they do believe, and would go work toward the harvest...and there is only one way to tell the difference that i can see.
