"'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!'" Matthew 23:37 (NRSV)
And this is still true today.
God's Churches are still not willing.
They preach rewards and punishments.
They rule with violence and fear.
They place burdens on people's backs.
They do not preach the Love of God.
God's Love is unconditional.
His mercy is infinite.
And His forgiveness is everlasting.
