God chooses evil people (none are good) for the church.
Man cooperates or not with Grace.
Both knew God and chose one way or the other.
Cain and Able
Esau and Jacob
11 Patriarchs and Joseph
King Saul and King David
Pharos (by signs) and Moses
Judas and 11 Apostles
(Calvin/Luther) and Catholic (unity for millennia)
All had sin and major mistakes. But only those who kept repenting and following God (even in the midst of severe persecution and pain) stayed with God. We cannot let mans actions scandalize us. Man is evil. We must keep following God in His Church. Jesus is the church. All evil men are called to repent and follow Him. Just because evil men are not repentant does not mean the church is wrong. It means that man is choosing wrong. We are given grace to choose because of his sorrowful passion. He has paid the sin of all men in the whole world. He has also given freedom to all men. Choose grace and surrender.
