"This mistrust of God reminds me of the “word” of resurrection life for John. If you surrender your life to me, John, and then you, will escape death. When it didn’t happen, the sons were responsible because of their lack of obedience – not those who came up with a false word. Either it never was a word in the first place and people were not speaking the truth, or God can’t be trusted."
I remember discussing the December 12, 1979 manifestation of the Kingdom of God thing with a buddy of mine, and of course he was of the standard WALK opinion, "oh it came alright, it just didn't come with observation,/visibly. He might as well have said, which I am pretty sure he implied "you have to be on a high enough spiritual level to see the manifestation of it."
I watched a video recently, I might have posted it here, of a church where the pastor there told his followers to go outside and graze in the field next to the building. They did, maybe a hundred people out there on the lawn eating grass, and happy to do so. In their minds, they were doing the will of God, because they were doing the will of the one they have accepted as a god. If someone that a brainwashed person has accepted to be an oracle of God tells them an obvious lie, suppose they are told that they are invisible, you can hold a mirror in front of them all day and they will swear that they can not see their reflection, and they probably can't see their reflection. All you can do is pray for them, and go on with your life.
