There are two that should follow “Marriage begins with sex and ends with death”, and “the Bible is true and the institutional church is a fraud”. Especially the second will include the offer I have made already to engage in a formal public debate with someone in a paid position. The Scriptural evidence will be set out first in the videos, from the meaning of “ekklēsia” and “sunagōgē”, the modern tithe is theft, and the twisting of the terms like “elder” (“presbuteros”), and “overseer” (“episkopos”), and some other things. As I state, I do live the Acts 20:20 model now and think if you want a single verse to give some direction that would be it. I will probably then use specific examples, in keeping with the Galatians 2 / 2nd Peter 3 model I have used repeatedly. Obviously that would involve Covenant Presbyterian and Meadowview. Your name might be in the list. With that in mind I did watch “Reconcile 30 ● Mr. Cross ● Obedience to Christ or the Institution” (http://kozlowski.org/2020-05-09+1). I do wonder about making that one public also as I think it has value for the context. I say all this as an invitation. You once claimed to be a follower of Christ. Assuming you still make that claim, I am asking you again to live it. I’m sure you have read 1st John and know that your distancing yourself from me is quiet well described in that book, and not in a great light. But again there is the 2nd Peter 3 example. That remains my hope, but it requires that both of us want it. I am spending way too much time on this effort that could better be spent on other things. But the issues are important. So I am again reaching out to you in hope that we can work as brothers rather than enemies. I have laid out my plans before you. Part of it is live. Once “the Bible is true and the institutional church is a fraud” series is online, which might be a couple months, and assuming your heart remains closed, I will promote it. I have a list of several thousand that I can email, and several places that I will pursue an online interview. If being a follower of Christ has any meaning or value to you, if you have love in your heart to any member of my family, I will again suggest you take the offer for serious dialog with me. Let’s celebrate reconciliation. That sounds so much better than evidence being made widely public about being an unloving fraud. Please keep in mind those magnificent words in 2nd Peter 3:15 “our beloved brother Paul”. Let’s follow that model! Respectfully, |
