If you’ve been reading the comments posted on my blog this week you’ve no doubt noticed the trouble I’m in with people upset about my theology. But you’ve only seen what people have posted. What about the e-mails that have been sent directly to me? Well, some of those e-mails aren’t suitable for a family site like this.
But another man named Chuck writes:
A humantarian, yes, a Pastor, NO. Nothing has been said about your group uniting in prayer. Your particular denomination is bordering on being a cult. The churches you are including in your "organization" have one thing in common. None believe that the Bible is perfect and that every word is true. You are leading your flock down the wrong road and including, of all people, muslims. We will pray for you because that is what Jesus Christ would expect of us. The least you could do is repent...if not...we will leave that up to God.
And Karl wrote:
You preachers had better keep out of politics in the pulpit. Church and State, remember are to be kept separate. Your freedom of speech ends at the church door.
But Jesus said:
Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. - Matthew 5:11-12 (NRSV)
I’ll stick with Jesus’ advice on this one.
