picture the bark as a covering and the covering a perception in relation to an identity it affords us ...


Yeah, so it is as if the many facets of Christendom are like the facets of a tree's epidermis.

So, in answer to the OP...The earliest "Christians" were softer...being much closer to a germinating seed.

we are all subject to the process, as it is God who puts a serpent in every sons path as an image we choose ...

The serpent cannot touch the seed...only sliver upon the covering...

either we fall on the rock or the rock falls on us ... either way the image gets broken or crushed ...


John 15:1
"1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."

The things which offend is anything (which begins in thought) less than an eye that is single, which is the mind of Christ and not separate from the very person of God our Father ....

2 Corinthians 10
"…4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete."


*These guys come to mind:

Colossians 1
" 27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily."
