Mark Twain is credited with the quote, "“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” Patriots are people who share a common father. US patriots have Uncle Sam as their common father. The followers of the Christ share a common Father, who art in heaven. Many claim with their mouths and their dogmas to be patriots for the Father in heaven, but their acts and deeds prove otherwise, they're really still patriots of the fathers of the world, the benefactors that exercise authority as a way to punish the wicked that really reject God by rejecting what God said to do. You'll know them by their fruit. Who's your daddy, patriot? If we don't work to come together in the Biblical pattern of tens, hundreds and thousands, bound together only by pure love striving to do the will of the Father in heaven, step by step, choosing it rather, gradually replacing the way of Cain in our own lives with the way of Christ and the Father, then all our patriotic words and songs of praise for the Father in heaven are in vain. These emails groups are a shadow of what could be, the shadow they cast right now is the same shadow that the adversaries of Christ cast, because all the people don't work diligently to come together in the body of Christ to walk in His name and kingdom.

The Adversaries of Christ have had a long time to slowly indoctrinate their "citizens" to think and act and respond in the name, nature, character and spirit of Satan. As the proverb goes, train a child up in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it, well we have all been trained up in the way the benefactors who exercise authority think their citizens should go, we now that we are all grown up we find it very hard to depart from those ways in deed. Which is why it is very slow going for most people. For as long as I have been on this network I keep hearing the same complaint over and over and over again, which is that people cannot find others to gather with. What I think that really means is they cannot find other people they are willing to gather with because they cannot find their "clones". The people that "believe" the same way they do about what their own version of the kingdom of God looks like in their own vain imaginations. Which is what people are really looking for. They are looking to find clones of themselves, not wishing to really work at loving their neighbors, who might be different, they want to love only themselves by finding others just like themselves. And until they do, they complain they cannot find any one else to gather with. What a shame. For God so loved the whole world that He gave His only begotten son.
