I found this to be a very interesting observation. I’ve been chewing it over for several days trying to make sense of it. How would you brethren interpret this?

But Fudge has agenda behind those words. Guards are what we are called to be, "Defenders of the Faith?" Explorers and Pilgrims are certainly NOT what we are supposed to be. The Apostolic truth of New Birth in Jesus name is Biblical fact. Settlers settle on the property they were given, and they KEEP IT for generations handing it down to all their descendants. Hey, Fudge went native, and wrote a book trying to show that we were as new and as confused as the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons.
