So they fell short of 2 Timothy 1:7.

That's a pretty big one to fall short of over an extended amount of time.

And when you say "many did". Do you mean on their knees? Was it in any meaningful way?

I think Jesus would've rebuked them by telling them get off their knees and stand up.

Who stood up for the children against the evil? If you can't do that, then it reasons they probably couldn't find the strength to sacrifice in accordance with what they proselytize if it had a cost they would bear.

The vast majority gave into a spirit of fear and let children be washed in it for 2 years.

All I'm asking is that they actually self reflect on why they were cowards in the face of evil.

Character is revealed when you have to stand up and take action when nobody else will. It's also revealed when a person has fallen short day after day after day shrinking from evil if they admit they did - at a minimum to themselves.

They feared how THEY would look here on earth, not how they would look to their savior in "heaven".

They chose to be spectators to widespread evil with no self-awareness that indeed they were awful examples of what a Christian is supposed to be; a non-coward who cares for their neighbor as they care for themselves.

The Church is the third biggest disappointment right under Teachers/Schools and the PHA'S.

Epic fail and they want to sweep it under the rug...I wonder why?
