We have shown mercy and patience!
You do not have the whole stage here. There is real life happening here, join the life that God gave us! "I came that you have life, and have it more abundantly"
Your words are becoming redundant. You post constantly yet say very little towards what we are doing here. This is a specialized ministry which caters to the naturist community. We open our doors to all naturists, not just Christians. We open our doors to all Christians, not just naturists.
And if you are neither Christian or naturist, we open our doors to you too. As long as everyone understand where we are going with this. As long as you understand that we are working on the behalf of both Christians and Naturists. If you do not understand, ask, we will be glad to explain.
We are like a bridge between the two. We represent the Christian community to those naturists who have been attacked by Christians and need a better representative. And we are a representative to the Christian community of what naturists are really like.
As one of our long time members said at a group gathering, "The church was told to go to Jerusalem, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. The nudist community are the "ends of the earth" to the Christians, but our Jerusalem."
But it does imply that they enter the ends of the earth themselves, so they still have to comply. But we are there now, so by proxy, they are being reached.
We take that opportunity to free speech and use it with gentleness and humility. We don't stand on street corners or on the rocks at a resort crying out. We "cry out" by our actions, open arms and love.
We have opened our arms to you as well, but now you expect way more from us than we are doing as a group of this type. Understand what this group is. We are not doing the work you are doing. We are not called to do what you do.
And we do not expect you to be as we are. But if you do insist on trying to get us to go along with your style of preaching, or reaching out, or whatever it is you are doing, then we will not be able to comply.
God called us to THIS ministry, NOT YOURS. You cannot expect a nun of an order in Alaska to do what you are doing nor can they expect you to do their job! They have their ministry, we have ours, you have yours. All point to Jesus Christ.
I cannot walk into my church naked and proclaim the gospel! I can hardly walk in and start preaching in the first place, since I'm not the preacher. But I can minister to these people in a way that God calls me to at that time. So far he has never called me to minister nude. Well....maybe once or twice, once in the back porch sitting with one of my neighbors who has been getting into a lot of trouble. Another time when I was praying in the back room in a prayer session I was doing, I was alone and for some reason, I could not concentrate. I kept praying and praying, and could not concentrate. So I took off all my clothes and started to pray with fervor and with power I have not done in a long time.
So God does call us on occasion, but other times, we just have to be available.
In this forum, we are available to help as many as we can, to server one another as well as anyone who comes along.
But if you insist on disrupting this group, I will have to ask you to leave. You already said you are not returning, yet you did, many times since. So where does that put your word at this time?
Take care. I can only tolerate so much. This is the ministry God called ME to do, the others joined in by their calling or personal service of love.
Either join what we are doing, or find another forum that would love your style of ministry.
And we send you off with our blessings.
