Religious people, in particular leaders, Pastors, ministers etc, can become so indoctrinated that they are blind to compassion.
In the world the people think with the mind and ignore the heart, all science, education, wanting money and material things.
°
This happens in the church too.
Now in the story of the Good Samaritan story Jesus showed clear that the religious people were not worthy, not compassionate because they put doctrines before loving people, and they the religious people thought more of themselves than someone “desperately in need”.
But then along came a man who had compassion and who helped someone he knew nothing off. He used his own time, effort, struggles and money to help this person who had been ignored by the religious.
°
Today millions of religious people from all religions walk past people in need, so love their church building, get-togethers, church-pride and human written doctrines more than they love God or people.
Today they are reliving the story of the Good Samaritan daily, but they are completely blind to the fact because they have been seduced to follow church doctrines (that falsely teach that they are sheep and not goats) they they cannot even understand how much they support apathy and not love.
°
In the struggle for clarification of divorce I have had many verbal discussions and battles with the church.
They claim that doctrine, the Bible etc, proves that the divorced cannot remarry. One pastor told me recently that an 18 year old girl gets a divorce that Jesus expects get to stay single until she dies, regardless of if she had children or not. She must support them on their own according to the church.
But that false teaching means that Jesus supports masterbation, and obviously Jesus doesn’t. What the church falsely teaches us that a divorced person must masterbate all their life and never know the joys of marriage again.
It is this kind of false teaching that has people leaving the church.
I fully believe that God knows that people make mistakes and that they can remarry.
