1 | Pastor preaches about men body parts! | Luke 22:26 | Searcher56 | 172646 | ||
Bereaniam, God's day to you, Acts 17:11 gives an example of the Brereans examining the Scriptures to see if what was spoken matches Scripture. If he is preaching another Gospel as Paul warned us about in Galatians 1:6-9, he needs to go. If he said Jesus was soft and effeminate, he needs to prove it by Scripture, not Hollywood and renown painters ... or anyone else. DaVinci and others protray John as effeminate in appearance. I like Fabio looks effeminate. But, it does not make either less of a man. Oh - I think some paint or scuplt Jesus in an image they are comfortable with (maybe close to themselves or someone close). Charles Wesley wrote a hymn about Gentle Jesus, Meek and Mild. But, that doesn't make it true. Not does what Herrick, Mollenkott or others say. Study what the Bible says about our Lord - -He could have called more than twelve legions of angels (Mat 26:53). - That goes with last part of Revelation (19:1ff)which gives a picture of what He'll do when He returns. - He had made a scourge of cords, and drove out the people wrecking His Father's House (Luk 19:45-46, Jhn 2:14-16). - John 18:4-8 and the other Gospels tell about what happened when soldiers and others did when He spoke. ... this is a start. Maybe he needs to read the Bible to see what the Bible says about husbands including 1 Corinthians 7:3-4 and Ephesians 5:25-33 ... I doubt he understands what her love language is. Plus what the Bible says about him (1Ti 3:1-7, Tit 1:7-9) ... I wonder how well he manages his own family. If he offended you, apply Matthew 18:15ff. I never have a problem standing in the face of any preacher. Searcher |

Hey Searcher, Bear with me on this brother; but I am getting a similar kind of presentation from you that Bereaniam's pastor reportedly presented regarding what makes a "real man"(minus the vulgarities and lack of tact). What I mean is, you seem eager to point to Scripture that shows the "mocho" side of Jesus. I may be reading into it, but it seems like you are qualifying Jesus as a "real man" based on the aggressive or potentially aggressive and even war-like aspects. Remember, Jesus "could have called more than twelve legions of angels" but He did not. He did drive out the money changers. But He also healed the blind man, the lepar, the woman with the issue of blood and others and He fead the hungry. Compassion would seem to have been His more prominate characteristic when He walked among men. And you might be reading in to John 18:4-8. Or perhaps I have; but I do not believe their was a thing to do with His masculinity that caused the soldiers to fall to the ground. I think it had all to do with His saying "I am He". Finally, your statement, "I never have a problem standing in the face of any preacher." Sounds a little arrogant. Your best advised to consider preachers called of God (even though we might believe that some of them are not) and demonstrate a proper respect in dealing with them. When we feel it proper to confront a preacher, a posturing "in the face" would be most inappropriate. I follow your posts and feel I have come to know something about you through our Forum encounters. I do not view you as an arrogant, macho, "in your face" type at all and am not insinuating such. But those who don't know better of you might go away with the wrong opinion of you from this post. God bless and brotherly love, Jeff |

God's day to you, Jeff ... I am not saying Jesus was a macho man, just evidence that He was effeminate. I am not little arrogant when I stand in the face of any preacher. While they MAY be called of God, if they say something that is contrary to the Bible - we need to speak up. |

Hello Searcher, Thanks for clarifying. Still, it was the language that I was refering too. I agree that we should speak up when we believe anyone (including Pastors) are teaching false teachings. But we shouldn't do it "in their face". It was only the language that I was having a hard time with. We never know who is reading our posts and how they will take it so we should be as clear and appropriate as possible. Thanks for clarifying, God bless, Jeff |
