Yes. and Yes. In this episode, Jonny and Michael break down Jesus and the bride, an image from the Bible used to represent how God sees his church. But too often the bride doesn't treat others well.

They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God's words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wheresgod/message

Resources mentioned: Virginia pastor who defiantly held church service dies of coronavirus. https://nypost.com/2020/04/13/virginia-pastor-who-held-packed-church-service-dies-of-coronavirus/ "Is He willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He isimpotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Whence then is evil?" David Hume, quoting Epicurus “To many minds the origin of sin and the reason for its existence are a source of great perplexity . . . They see the work of evil, with its terrible results of woe and desolation, and they question how all this can exist under the sovereignty of One who is infinite in wisdom, in power, and in love. Here is a mystery of which they find no explanation. “And in their uncertainty and doubt they are blinded to truths plainly revealed in God's word and essential to salvation.” Ellen G.
