Sometimes it seems like the Church forgets that their mission is to reach the lost, not just care for themselves. Paul faced down the doctrine of the  traditionalists that sought to protect their righteousness from the outsiders, the Gentiles. Of all people to stand up for and reach out to the "pagans", Paul the famous Pharisee does a complete turn around after being born again and begins to passionate preach and teach the truth to those he once hated. He came to understand that the whole of scripture contained the message of mercy and grace for all the nations, not just Israel. If only the church of today would come to that understanding as well...we are not gate keepers hired to prevent the unholy from gaining entry, rather we to stand at the door and compel people to come and experience the same amazing grace that we have.
