    God hates messes. He created order out of chaos - things formless and void - into something He proclaimed as very good. He condemns in the strongest term the messes of a messed up world.

    Proverbs 6:16-19 NAS77
    16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
    17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
    18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,
    19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.​

    A messy stable? The emphasis of the Word becoming flesh was the Cross. That was messy.

    "...the possibility of an open gateway to grace" What? Grace is given out of God's great love not our pitiful condition. What did Paul say?

    Romans 6:1-2 NAS77
    What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?​

    Other than that it's a pretty accurate statement. :BangHead:
