Wow, great video. I went to a new church two weeks ago and the male pastor first got on stage, then let the female pastor get on stage. I walked out of the sanctuary and the male pastor was in the foyer. I said to the Pastor that having a female pastor is not Biblical, he did not agree. However, he belittled and dismissed my feelings telling me that I was too "angry" to discuss this right now, perhaps later when I calmed down. I was not angry, I was frustrated, though I was then angry that he was gaslighting me (though I didn't lash out due to it). I asked questions, listened, dismantled his false understandings, but he was getting visibly shaken. At one point, after he was using gaslighting techniques on me, I began to wonder if he knew the truth and simply refused to obey it. So I asked if he was even worried about the fact that God judges leaders of the flock more harshly, is he not concerned about his soul? Well, he simply said we could talk later and then asked me what my plan was. I said "I'm comfortable right here" (meaning, I can wait for "later" to come). He disappears and next thing I know the cops are asking me to step outside and then arresting me. They cited "disorderly conduct" against me on the grounds that my behavior had made the Pastor fearful for his safety. I started out by speaking directly, but not harshly and finished with harsh rebuke, but it was all in love. At no point did I want said pastor to loose his soul! In fact, that's the whole reason I spoke up! To protect him AND the flock. Well, that turned out not great for me. Spent the night in lock up and the police were none too happy about the fact that I was observing my 2nd amendment rights at the time too since the state here doesn't look fondly on that. Point of the story is, great timing in my feed, thank you. But also that if you do choose the path of speaking truth, expect it to twist ears and do not hold your self accountable if they choose to be offended. Moreover, if your sharp rebukes are met with personal attack...know that God is always watching and He sees what is done in the dark and the light. Perhaps there's no reward for me in this life for my sufferings, but I know there will be in the next. Luke 18:8, "However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Should He come during my time, then I pray He finds it in me, even if I am the last.
My time time too declare the kinddome of heaven is heaven
