George remains on my mind and I watched some videos from Meadowview today. George remains my son that I love and Meadowview is a cult. I can show you why about Meadowview, but their defense is to run, or rather the coward’s defense is to run. To love is to proclaim the truth, and there is a cost. The videos for George and Jim Cross are an act of love.

It has become my habit to produce a PDF of this email and put it online at the end of the month. We are now at about 200 pages. This is call stamina. This is what love does. The word “patience” is used often in the Bible, notably twice in 2Co13. In 2Tim4:2 it is all, complete or great patience. 808 voicemails is an example of patience. It is NOT “preaching” behind a pulpit in that verse, but heralding or proclaiming the word or logos. It includes reprove and rebuke, which can be seen as a way to live out loving your neighbor by looking at the verse before Lev19:18. What you can see in my effort is this kind of love.

Mr. Cross, consider our last email dialog from two years ago (http://family.kozlowski.org/Email-2017-12-19+1). You offered errors in fact, but refused to back them up with evidence when challenged. More importantly you blatantly twisted the Scripture by quoting “hardness of heart” from Matthew 19:8 and used it as an allowance for divorce. Even in the English, this is a ridiculous exposition. A direct quote from you is “he also made provision "due to the hardness of their hearts" for there to be divorces.” In your context the “he” is the Lord. In Matthew it is Moses who “allowed”, but the Lord states “from the beginning it was not so.”

What you are doing is consistent with the Talmud, which is one of the many reasons why I have asked if you subscribe to the Talmud. May I point out again that that Talmud is the written version of what is described in Isaiah 29:13, Matthew 15:9, Mark 7:7, Colossians 2:22, and Titus 1:14. It is not a good source for the follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have read some of it and find some of the exposition as ridiculous as yours.

Then there is the fact that a state decreed divorce has nothing to do with the Scripture. The Greek “apoluō” is to send away or set free, and the context is only for sexual sin. There has been no sexual sin on my part, gratefully you have not accused me of such, so this verse is not applicable.

You have stated that Dorothy-Jane is free to remarry. Consider the book after Matthew. It is called Mark. In chapter 10 verse 12, you have a serious problem with your statement. You are essentially stating that my wife is free to be an adulterous. This again confirms what I have stated repeatedly to Dorothy-Jane: “The person who loves you is not your dad, it is me!”

The bottom line is you can’t make a case from Scripture, so you did the cowardly thing and ran. I’m still seeking reconciliation with you as the loving thing. Consider the video to you from this Tuesday. You will note I again used the word “coward” with fervor. I contend it is rightly used, and so is the offer of grace. Please take me up on it!

My assumption is Jim Cross, like his fellow PCA “elders”, will remain silent, even after the email I sent to them this week. These “elders”, which I have contended is not a position in an institution with Scripture, need to protect their institution and their position in their institution. Otherwise there is the potential loss of power, perhaps income, and mostly a big hit to their pride. They must stick to the traditions of men, because pride has overwhelming control in their lives. There is that Proverbs 16:18 issue, but it will be ignored.

My great concern is my son George might be like those Chris Bitterman spoke of in his sermon when he talked about praying for those who go to the drug addict support facility in Lexington. As I stated, he drove by and prayed, but did not go in. I visit several like this in their homes. Note the difference? I don’t want to just pray for George, but talk with him, invest time in him, which can be seen in this week’s videos, and share life with him. That is why I invited him to my home. He probably won’t hear about this, or see the videos. Who really loves George? Are Susanna, Gloria-Jane, Walter and Zadok being setup for the same?

It really did sicken me to hear Chris Bitterman talk about how we need to pray more for the lost and get them in to the institution. There is NO call for the institution. The Lord calls us to make disciples, but not from a pulpit, but by investing in people’s lives face-to-face. I did that today at someone’s home, the Acts 20:20 model. Consider James 2:18: “I will show you my faith by my works.”

I am a flawed man attempting to reconcile with other flawed men. I am attempting to be open, clear, bold, and unambiguous in my attempt. This is the model of Paul in Scripture. I will call out those who cower to institutional mandates as frauds (Gal 2:14, 1Tim5:20), with the continued hope that with at least some there will be the rejoicing in reconciliation as seen in 2Peter3:15.

Does anyone have the love it takes to have a dialog with me?

Dorothy-Jane, your brokenhearted husband loves you!
