The evangelistic zeal of certain devout people is exemplary. Some are courageously willing to do uncomfortable things like travel land and sea to spread their message. However, zeal is not enough. The message must also be healthy and orthodox. Active recruitment for a false gospel must surely be one of the most futile endeavors. Often, a new convert is twice as zealous as his recruiter, and the vile cycle of deceit only gathers momentum. What a waste!
Those who are on the road to hell are always on the lookout for fresh apprentices. This is the hypocrisy of dishonest religion, a deceived creed not honorable enough to scrutinize its own errors, or to fully acknowledge the Savior of the world. Like the Pharisees in Matthew 23:15 such deceivers will travel land and sea to make one convert, and then when they have found one, make him twice much a child of hell as they are. That's what Jesus said.
