Just recently my daughter-in-law started a conversation with the following words, "I know you love us . . . " and then proceeded to tell me why I wasn't going to see my grandchildren this year or potentially ever again unless I remove some comments from my blog that they didn't like. I told her I wouldn't have posted them if I didn't believe they were true. To do so would take away my freedom of speech.
To get back to the subject at hand "Love."
If I "Love" you, as you say I do, wouldn't I yell "fore" on a golf course if I saw a golf ball heading straight for your head? Of course I would.
If I "Love" you, as you say I do, wouldn't I yell if your car was stalled on a railroad track and a train was barreling down on you very fast? Of course I would.
If I "Love" you, as you say I do, wouldn't I warn you about your involvement with a cult? I know it's a cult and you don't because you have never attended a real church. I also know that cults prey on or target people like you "the unchurched" because you are unable to question their teachings due to your lack of knowledge about true Christianity. Of course I would warn you as I did five years ago and you chose to disregard the warning.
You know what that means? That means that "my love" for my family is useless and of no consequence. If my "Love" for my family can't protect them from a charlatan and a false teacher like PM, my "Love" for you is totally useless and an absolute waste of time. I should stop loving and let you all fall into the dark pit that is BVC and let you suffer the consequences even if they are eternal in nature.
Is this the kind of "Love" that you want from me? The kind where I see great danger and instead of yelling, I shut my mouth and walk away. Life can be a lot easier when you don't care. "Love" compels me to yell at the top of my lungs to get out of BVC. PM is leading you down a wrong path which will ultimately lead to hell.
If you want a "Love" that stays silent in the face of danger, then it isn't "Love" that you want. When "Love" sees danger, it speaks up loudly. That's what I've been doing now for over 5 years!
This blog has only one purpose and that is to get my family safely home to truth where they belong, to stop Satan's gibberish, reject Pentecostalism, the Faith Movement and their false teachings based on Scripture twisting.
This blog represents 5 years plus of "Love." So far, you have rejected that "Love" to cling to the fake love of a stranger who only loves you as long as you give him lots of money or time.
This seems to be the "Love" you prefer or the "Love" you owe because you are beholden to him for furnaces and cars they gave you. If PM cared about you, he should be teaching you how to save money so you can pay for furnaces when they break down but don't hold your breath. He'll think of some cause to get his hands on all of your spare cash.
These are the "Love" choices you have to make: "Love" that has at its core, a lust for money and wealth or "Love" that will warn you about danger for 5 years even at the risk of never seeing my family again.
Perhaps the problem is that you worship "the god of your own opinion" and that's why you can't leave. That would be admitting you are wrong or you have made a grave error in judgment. You can't do that or your self esteem would be totally eroded.
I could shut-up and go away but that would mean I didn't "Love" you. You said that you know I "Love" you so you are going to have to decide. Do you want a "Love" that stays silent in the face of peril or a "Love" that cares enough to warn of the danger and impending doom? Will you make the wise choice?
You have been reading the blog for over 5 years and still Satan has a hold on you!
I learned recently that your brother has become a Christian and is attending a church that teaches true Christianity. I am also aware that you tried to get him to attend BVC but he rejected it. He is a very smart person but it was likely the Holy Spirit that gave him discernment about the fact that there is something very wrong at BVC. Good for you, Peter! Hopefully your sister will follow your example and move her family to a true Christian church. I know the kids will be very happy to attend there rather than rebelling at the nonsense going on at BVC. Teenagers can sometimes be very perceptive and I would guess they have begun to realize that something is very wrong at BVC. Could it be that Satan attends BVC every week?
Will my "Love" continue to be useless and inconsequential or will you decide to move your families out of BVC to a real church where the truth is taught uncompromisingly and there is no funny business like gibberish and constant demands for money?
