The way I see it, pretty much every group there is is responsible for something or other, and wrong in some way or a lot of ways - including our own selves, which is just a group of our own selves across days and times - and any group of any significant size or influence is gonna have people infiltrating it for money and power and control.
Thereβs also gonna be redeemable portions of most of those groups, and we should try to take what is good from each.
Thereβs probably plenty of people here that look at me with the same side eye. Itβs not totally undeserved, I probably am a bit subversive in ways, but so was Jesus, so whatevs. Better question is if any posited ideas here are heading in good directions or bad ones, and thatβs up to each individual.
Galatians 6:10 - So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
1 Thessalonians 5 16-22 - Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you. Don't quench the Spirit. Don't despise prophesies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
