We are programmed with guilt and shame but Greg or e's God has circumvented these primal emotions and in doing so can justify the worst kind of immorality and remain spotless as the little lambs whose throats he likes to see slit. Greg or e truly is a man that can walk on water. "This is a warning for spiritual Israel. We must not succumb to immorality or accept any doctrine that is rooted in Baalism: for if we do so, we also will remove ourselves from God's shield of protection. Paul spoke of this: 'Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell [not given as a precise figure] ..' (1 Cor.10:9). - This refers to the occasion described in Numbers 25:1-9, when men of Israel were enticed by Midianite women to engage in the sexual fertility rites of Baal at a high place called Baal Peor. Baalam, a prophet of Baal hired by the Midianite king Balak to curse Israel, found that every time he tried to curse, his cursing turned into a blessing. He had no power to curse Israel while they remained under God's protection. However, he cunningly advised Balak to entice the Israelites into bringing a curse upon themselves by tempting the men to indulge in sexual and spiritual fornication with Baal's sacred prostitutes - thereby inciting Israel to turn away from their Protector: 'They [the Midianite women] were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the Lord in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the Lord's people' (Num.31:15-16). - Outside of God's protection, the devil can attack."
