PART 2

Here is the the context explaining in conversation why i brought those things up about Jack that i did. For diary sake. Not to keep endless disucssion of this ongoing. Blessings…

I do not mind in the slightest that Pastor Hibbs sees politics as important. I agree with him actually. More than this forum would see things as. I do not mind Hibbs using the book of Romans to show character heart of scritpure as maybe a principle or bases for voting or political action. I could see “some” wiggle room for that – even though i would see it as a stretch…well…ok though. But using parables with very selfish use of them…i just can’t see that as anything but unprofessional. That is not the job of a pastor. And its wrong to use God’s word to favor one’s view in an office that effects the lives and thinking processess of so many. So yeah i guess we would disagree there brother. Aslo it sets an immature and fleshy dumb down version of Holy writ (while America is being dumbed down in general…as problem in generan anyway). So its like teaching us to lower the maturity ceiling down to our knees rather than perhaps somewhere above our heads. If a pastor is not demonstrating maturity…that does not demonstrate professionally an extended ability to mature for those under their care i reckin.

Amen brother. I hear you. I agree with staying out of social media confilct. Common sense makes sense too. For me its not as much about voting or not voting. As i believe i have been blessed with how the passions on both sides of that isle think. So for me its about honoring the hearts of others where i can understand them, or try to amen. But for me it is common sense that if a statement like Hibbs about “depart from me a never knew you” because you didnt vote…well…that common sense tells me there is something wrong upstairs with that. And its a good signal to be aware if peeps are dealing with a full 52 card deck. So yeah when i hear stuff like that the issues are not what a pastor says or does not say. But helpful signals of where to be careful in how else they might use His word. Thanks for the road trip brother Blessings.

I understand the sentiment Jack. In fact I would see that taking biblical positions to any extremes apposing Christian Nationalism is being used by the enemy as our dividing too. Not because I stand for CN. Not at all. I am certain it will fail as God will not bless that insanity. But to not understand why churches (even as you have expressed understanding toward Hibbs not being unprofessional) would feel that way except that they are deceived…to me…is falling pray to the devices of the enemeis ability to divide. Instead implying empathy on why CN churches might feel that way (except for like those WOF versions) I believe is a better way to talk about so as not to be a useful tool of the enemy in dividing us…is kind of how I guess I would resolve that. I guess a plumb line of sorts for me would be: Are we as eager to work with the different ways churches are looking at things as much as we are that they might align too with how we do? When Pastor JD invited Bud and interviewed him online…this was an olive branch in the right (not being used by the enemy) direction. I’ve seen we can do it. But yeah whatever the whatever…where we super agree???
