The Church confesses that she has posed no threat to the Powers and Systems of this world because she is self-abusive. Each limb is so absorbed in its own survival, it’s willing to cut and mar any other limb that attempts to work. The Powers have no need to bring harm to the Church because a self-abuser will eventually self-destruct.
The Church confesses that she has posed no threat to the Powers and Systems of this world because she has made herself irrelevant to the world. She has become a social club where only a select few may be accepted. There are few who have mastered the art of Hospitality, but what good is a friendly smile if no one is walking through the door to accept it? The Church has shown herself to have nothing to offer to the world at large, rather she is only accepting to those who are presentable.
The Church confesses that she has posed no threat to the Powers and Systems of this world because she has adopted the mentality of being a place rather than a people. A building is immobile, therefore her focus has been on convincing people to come to her (though she has made this task virtually impossible since she has become un-accepting and has stolen the authority to determine who may enter the Kingdom of Heaven and who may not.) However, as a people, the Church has arms and legs. She operates with strength from the Joy of YHWH and a wisdom in the knowledge of Truth. Therefore, she is able to go out and work the land. It’s simple. How can anyone expect to reap any sort of a harvest if they can’t even go out into the field?
The Church confesses that she has posed no threat to the Powers and Systems of this world because she does not know who’s kingdom she lives in, let alone which king she’s fighting for. She claims to fight for King Y’shua, yet when the epic is sung, she steps forward to claim the glory for herself.
