Whatever you heard by the Priesthood & Whatever you've heard by slanderrers, God is who he is & that is not Sinful. We simply need to discover, following misdirection.
The Power of Jesus NameWhere can I find it Preist? I could use it to give God a hand up here. That was a Jesus category insult to the High Priesthood, meaning Preists in authority.
God is Where you left
I went on a Pilgrimage to Israel only to find the Holy Land an Hour from my Family Home. Similarly God is with the People from whom you are estranged if you are in Spiritual difficulty & with the Government in detailed Communication. God accepts the People's opinion, who's Spirits left the Omnipresence to enjoy the Creation until they return. Church groups protect themselves in numbers & often insult the World outside, but the broken are lost & needing tuition to make themselves acceptable. Then they can rejoin Communities in the presence of God.
