He does not want Moriah. Lets not kid ourselves here.
You're only kidding yourself.
I have already been able to tell that Father has marked you as His own purchased possession (see Ephesians 1:13-14).

Moriah, :hug: don't forget, from 1 Corinthians 12:

22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.

And, I've tried to find a similar analogy comparing Christ's body to bricks in a building, noting that the building would be weak and incomplete if one brick were missing. I couldn't find that exact passage, but others might be able to point to it.

Therefore, I don't think you have crossed that line I've been arguing about. You asked for salvation. God has accepted you, and he's not going to toss you away. In fact, Jesus said in John 10:28-29, I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

He would not send His servants to be so hostile and demeaning to Moriah if He loved it.
He does not love it.
He despises it and wants to destroy it.
No, He doesn't. People are capable of wickedness beyond expression, and that's why Scripture instructs us to look to Him instead of those people:

Hebrews 12:1-3
1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Jesus loves Moriah, more than I possibly can ;) After all, He purchased you with His own Blood!

:hug: thank you Victor for bringing a good word from His treasurehouse.
Moriah feels much better this morning.
Daimonizomai or not, it bes His. HE knows it. So does everyone that listens to Him.
We know His voice ;)
