The Journeys of Gubir and Jaresh
1And they fled away from the people and made camp deep in the forest. And Gubir spoke unto Jaresh saying, How be it that we being messengers of God cannot bring the people of this land unto God? And Jaresh spoke saying, Do you not know that it is not our purpose to bring people to God. Rather it is our purpose to preach repentance and faith in God. For people must come unto God according to their own will, for no man can force another to a belief in God. And Gubir spake saying, How can it be than God would permit these people to live without a knowledge of Him. Is He not an all powerful God? And Jaresh rebuked him saying, O, you foolish man. Know you not the word of God? And he spake unto him after this manner. And Gubir and Jaresh did become angry with one another. And they did argue concerning the Word of God and behold because of their contention the Spirit of God did cease to be with them. And behold they took up their camp and continued north-eastward. And they were angered with each other and did not speak. But they knew that they must remain together and they did so.
