It would be better if he suggested that we follow the spirits leading, as many already have refused the gospel! Then we are instructed to shake the dust off our sandals and walk away! Also not to cast our pearls before swine! TR And yet, your extended family at RITA love you. I wouldn’t waste the emotion energy on that one thing. Pastor JD is sound in his doctrine so if he says something you don’t like just let it go and don’t let it bother you. No one is going to speak 100% the way we want. Even the Lord Jesus said things that are very difficult to receive. Remembering Jesus was by far the most rejected soul who ever lived ~ I am remembering, too when someone told Jesus, "Look, your mother, brothers and sisters are outside wanting to speak to You" . . Jesus' replied: “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.…" . . Matthew 12:48 Matthew 10:37 . . . "He that loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. . . " "I wouldn’t waste the emotion energy on that one thing. Pastor JD is sound in his doctrine so if he says something you don’t like just let it go and don’t let it bother you. No one is going to speak 100% the way we want. Even the Lord Jesus said things that are very difficult to receive." Totally agree Yohanan. Thanks for the reminder. That thought did hit me before I posted.
