The Church loves to be amused and entertained with the Truth, as a hobby; that is, of course, until the Truth hits too close to home, until the Truth becomes too uncomfortable and inconvenient.  Yet, it is the Truth that makes and keeps us free, from being enslaved to and serving the memories of our past (the old man); makes and keeps us free, to draw from and experience the Life within, and in one another.  True love doesn't just talk, it actually provides for (nourishes)... and protects (cherishes)... the object of its desire, as do the individual members of the Bride with (and toward) each another; whereas, the Harlot wants all of the "benefits" of Marriage... but without the Covenant Commitment, Responsibility & Accountability... as do the individual members of the Harlot with (and toward) one another, and others.  The "Bear-attribute" of the anti-christ spirit talks "perfection"... talks "completion"... talks "resurrection life"... talks "fullness" (thank the Word-of-Faith Movement for this one!)... knows how to say all of the right things; but walks contrary, keeping its heart open unto other options or possibilities to serve itself (personal gain, advantage), while choosing to remain all wrapped up in its own individual, little world.  The Bride provides for, and protects, each other; the Harlot takes everything possible, while contributing nothing.
