We see evangelicals using and ripping off God. Does it matter? They think not because they're on God's side. On the ground the act is justified. Mere tactics. Incidental stuff. The severity of the sin is nothing to the benefit. God isn't hurt by it. And are they not chosen, saved and redeemed?
Ripping off their fellow citizens, those sinners, is nothing. Dominion applies over them. But what does God require? And everything matters in the context of creation. LIKE ripping off your fellow citizens to the point of wrecking their lives and getting them killed. And lying like there's no tomorrow. Evangelicals might believe there's no tomorrow, by the way, but rather the Second Coming.
Everything matters to people, among people and in a human context. Evangelicals are hawking and pawning their souls. But aren't they the pre-saved, let alone in the position of God, free to judge the salvation of others? God's standards are explicit enough, and sixpence matters among people.
Maybe not much but it matters. And God's standards matter, so ripping off God is more than meaningful, it's desecration and heresy, not because God wants for anything but because of what God requires, not a 'personal relationship' with Jesus but as seen in how we love one another. There's lots I don't know about lots of things, but I doubt God likes being played for a sucker.
