Subject: Pastor preaches about men body parts! |
Bible Note: 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 |
