ABSTRACT
All those of you who rejoice in peace, now it is time to judge the truth. A The abundance of sins tends to throw Christians into
confusion. As a result of this our Lord wanted to give us a warning, Comparing the kingdom of heaven to a net cast into the sea Which catches up many fishes of every kind from different
places. When they have been pulled to the shore, the fishermen
separate them, Placing the good ones in barrels, the bad they put back in the
sea. Anyone who knows the gospel will recognize these words and
tremble. He sees that the nets are the church, he sees that this world is
the sea; 10 The different kinds of fishes are the just mixed up with the
sinners; The shore is the end of the world: then is the time for
separation. Those fish which once burst through the nets were all too
attached to the sea. The barrels are where the saints live, places the sinners cannot
reach.
