The following skit was filmed months ago and because this is audio only, I will translate a few things for the change in mediums..

The filming took place during the Harvard Bar scene in Good Will Hunting. Thus poor Boston accents., the deeper voice belongs to the blond pony tailed man

In the skit I tried to get the point across, it is more vital to rescue people out of the world, than trying to restore the earth.

I wanted to get the point across that the world is a house on fire, from sin, it’s only going to get worse, we can’t put it out, there is no sense in remodelining, or restoring a house on fire, the sole focus should be, rescuing people out of the house, which symbolizes being born again and being discipled. In this burning house analogy a disciple is person rescued out of the house, trained for rescuing, fitted with fire resistant cloths and a respirator, than that person would run back in to pull someone else out, they would not go back in to try and save their room. Just like firman they are not immune to death from the fire, the clothes are not fire proof, just helps keep some of the heat off. And things can fall them, floor can drop out,

The Bibical reason why I lean towards rescue are the following. We are told the world is is bad, to not commit adultry with the world, being a follower of Jesus, you are willing to carry your cross, and no longer care for your earthly life, you are now born again and looking forward to the new earth Jesus will bring with him at his return. With all that in mind, i see little reason, to think it’s good to try take root in the world, and lots of caution about it being adultry, I don’t think you will straighten out the twisted world, it will bend you.

I knew there are some weakness with that, because not all the epistles explicitly say that, or even give information to counter act that. Such as if Paul is talking about parenthood, and picking elders who have a good reputation in and outside the church, those two things alone give roots to a more restorative approach. Also the length of time, the longer Jesus waits to return, the less like a house on fire seems to fit, and the more like we have time to restore this house or parts that were’n’t destroyed yet, or as the flames maybe shift from one part of the world to another, you could maybe salvage a terrority for a time, and use it as base to launch more missionaries on the great mission further into the house.

The reason I still favor the gospel is closer to a rescue mission, is we never knew when Jesus will return, when our time is up, when someone who is not right with God will die, and behaving like it’s a rescue mission treats is single minded focus. The priority is people need to repent and trust in Jesus for payment of their sins.

What ever someone’s lengthy bread crumb theology eventually mounts to a bread crumb tower that Jesus wants us to restore the world while rescuing individuals out of it, is double minded. Even Kenneth cooplland could huff and puff and blow that bread crumb tower over. Reminder we are told the world is evil, not to commit adultry with it, the devil runs it, Jesus’s kingdom is not of this world, the world hated him and would hate his followers too, the anti christ will make war against the saints and overrun them, the devil and his armies are not defeated until Jesus returns on his horse. Do not worry about restoring you are only on a rescue mission.
