Who are "THEY"

Titus 1:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
"They" are the many we live among that remain unwilling to accept the terms of redemption for repentance.
They see no need for repentance, placing their own standards above those of God, continuing in the lie first given Eve in the garden, attempting equality or ability they think to be above God himself.
They refuse to even consider the commandments of God to be sovereign, taking instead any and all "isms or ologies" as justification for lives they know to be in contravention to the will of God.
"They" are those most frequently referred to as the lost, those who remain unreachable and unteachable despite having been given the TRUTH, despite having been shown the WAY, despite the guarantee of eternal LIFE given by Christ Jesus through His sacrifice and resurrection.
"They" are those most in need of being reached while breath is given them, most in need of being taught despite their belief that they already know all they need to know to get what they want from this world.
1 Corinthians 1:18
18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
The preaching of the cross seems to them mere foolishness as that cross DEMANDS repentance for the current state of mind and soul.
"They" would, and do pass laws that allow their abomination, refusing to recognize that GOD determines what abomination is, not them.''
They argue loudly, long, and eloquently to persuade as many as possible that God and all guidance given by God may be ignored without paying any price for having done so. (This is the very lie first given in the garden to EVE that continues to resound in all its falsehood today as it did then.)
"They" refuse to understand that forgiveness and redemption is available, never accepting the need for that forgiveness.
"They" are those who bring strife and drama into each life they touch in the effor to make others over in the image of what they would have them to be, rather than what is intended by God for us to be.
2 Timothy 3:1-7
King James Version (KJV)
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Perilous times abound when lies are continually substituted for TRUTH.
The description given by Paul is most apt, far better than any given before or since of those who have come into power (of sorts) over the centuries since it was given.
"They" may have at one time felt the condemnation given by the Holy Ghost in order to lead them to repentance, but reject that condemnation as they are unwilling to submit to the terms given by Christ for their salvation.
2 Timothy 4:1-5
King James Version (KJV)
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
This admonition is not to them, as it would go unheard at any rate, but to US who HAVE heard, understood and heeded the Warning that accompanies the Promise given us far more precious than anything sought by THEM.
That admonition MUST continue to be given, continue to be heard by the willing, continue to be heeded as we progress toward the day when it falls silent with the coming judment so denied by such a majority.
That admonition MUST remain available to the mockers despite their mocking in hope of their coming to the point of comprehension of just what price "THEY" must pay when that judgment is passed.
The Judgment given Soddam and Gomorrah will seem mild to all those souls who remain in denial of the TRUTH.
If we truly love, as we are required to do, that love demands that the Truth be given, even to those who reject it, even to those who would mock it, even to the last soul to understand that love that "THEY" reject.

John 15:18-22 King James Version (KJV)
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
"WE" must accept the hatred of the world for what it is, must comprehend the absolute impotency of that hatred that comes from those in acceptance of the lie.
WE are NOT of this world if we hear and heed the simple message of redemption throuth repentance given us by Christ, because HE has overcome that world for us and for any willing to accept the blood shed for us, accept the promise of our own resurrection, given proof by His, accept our place in God's plan, a place to be sought above any to be found by Them as they hear what lies in store for eternity without Him.
He identified sin, it is not possible to use any excuse of lak of knowledge when judment is passed.
"THEY" may make no excuse once having been given that TRUTH.

John 3:18-21 King James Version (KJV)
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
"THEY" will continue to love the darkness rather than the light, love the evil of a corrupt race that has been given a means of reparation, only to reject it.
"THEY" continue to have my love, whether taken or not, have my constant sorrow for their refusal to hear, havethat same love and that same sorrow given by a Savior still able to lift them to LIFE if they only accept the WAY,
"THEY" continue to have my love, whether taken or not, have my constant sorrow for their refusal to hear, havethat same love and that same sorrow given by a Savior still able to lift them to LIFE if they only accept the WAY,
2 Timothy 1:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Amen and amen
the Wayfarer
