Thanks for another thought provoking piece, Stephen. As always, you call us forward to a fuller and more consumed committment to Jesus and His love. I just wonder if you are really suggesting that some people are dangerous, as opposed to unbelief and fear being dangerous. I think there is a difference between an individual who has a partial revelation of truth but is open to a deeper one (the Samaritan woman?), and a group (or school) who have had a fuller revelation but lose their way gradually over a period of time, often through unbelief and fear (which I have too often seen and grieved over). Those two, unbelief and fear, feed each other if we allow them to, and yes, they are dangerous.
Excellent reflection thanks Graham. If someone owns their unbelief and wilfully rejects God, are they dangerous when they pretend they are the one doing God's will? I think that is what I was trying to represent. Shalom, Stephen
