Examples in the Bible 1. King Saul. “So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it.” I Chronicles 10:13, KJV A lot of people do not even know when they cross the red line, they cross the red line and feel nothing.

Some climb the ecclesiastical ladder and rise to the position of bishops, cardinals, pastors. You cannot give what you don’t have. Agents of devaluation are all over the place. They manufacture their own theology to suit the whims and caprices of the people who are like them. A lot of…
