I did actually unsubscribe, but I was curious as to how you would respond, so here I am.
I actually agree with you, BUT I find that most people are totally slanted in one direction or the other and I find both to be equally dangerous. Many years ago (back in 1985, to be exact), I was in Pisa, Italy and standing atop the tower of Pisa (I'm pretty sure that people are no longer allowed to go up there). To be quite honest with you, it was a pretty horrifying experience (I wasn't saved then, but it really doesn't matter). IOW, with the tower being as tilted or slanted as it was and with gravity exerting its natural pull, I felt as if I was literally being sucked off the tower and I was standing with my back up against the wall and basically afraid to even move. Here's what really got me...
Back then (and my brother and I just discussed this about 3 weeks ago...he was there with me), there was only a little railing, about the width of a very thin belt, which went around the top of the tower. I mean, with the tilt and the gravitational pull, one would have thought that there would be something much thicker and higher to potentially keep people from falling off of the tower.
Anyhow, I said all of that to say this...
Years later, when I was saved, the Lord reminded me of this incident and had me do some research into the construction of the tower. To my surprise, I learned that THE BUILDERS KNEW, EARLY ON, THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE FOUNDATION OF THE TOWER AND YET THEY CONTINUED BUILDING.
God used this knowledge to inform me that the church has basically done the very same thing. IOW, He specifically spoke to me about the lack of the fear of God within professing Christendom at that time or how this "foundational truth" was being ignored to the potential peril of many. Of course, even though He didn't address this with me at that time, He could have just as easily spoken to me about the "foundational truth" of the love of God as well, but that is not what He stressed to me at that time. Anyhow, again, we need BOTH the love of God AND the fear of God in our lives and to remove either from our own "foundations" is to invite trouble. In my Christian experience, I've met people who lacked either the love of God or the fear of God and in both cases I've found them to be "tilted" or "slanted" and therefore in danger.
Sorry for the ramble...I should have remained unsubscribed...lol.
