Wolves have always been in God’s sheepfold. But they ought not be. When God’s shepherds turn into wolves, he is “against” them (Ezekiel 34:10), but he is adamantly for the sheep.
Very well done, brother. Indeed there have always been wolves instead of shepherds in the church. The concern really is creating actual awareness and prolonged dialogueabout this, without those who bring it up being "canceled," in mirroring the secular world's version of it!
Thanks for sharing, Ben. Yes, true dia-logue, “speaking through” to mutual understanding is so difficult! Listening to one another is especially challenging in our day, but it was also difficult in Luther’s. That’s why I think apologetics is important for this topic, because done well, apologetics helps us have deeper understanding of both our own and other’s positions.
