Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
Luke 17:32-33
The life that one seeks to save is the life that we lived without Messiah, like Lot's wife's former life in Sodom. Those who seek to save something of their life before they died to sin will lose the new life into which they have been born again.
Lot's wife was rescued from Sodom only to lose the new life she had been given because she was unwilling to give up what she had left behind.
Be cautious with people who talk too much.

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.
#proverbs 14:13
There are no pure emotions or motives. Love and hate, fear and courage, joy and sorrow all coexist in every heart.

I have a question: would you suppose that something false will gain truth? Honestly asking. I'm wondering how a people who have a great desire to walk in Truth will use a "false method" to gain "more truth". Now, are there people who turn other people away by their FRUIT? Oh, yes- 100%. I think there are a lot of people who exhibit rotten fruit no matter what doctrinal position they hold. And sure, there are sacred namers out there who give 3rd commandment defenders a --really-- bad name, there is no doubt. However, if JC is a false name (and we know it to be) how do we suppose we will gain more truth by using something false? I think it's a rottenness that leads to more rottenness. WHY IS WORKING WITHIN TRUTH SO HARD?!
