He is also lightyears ahead in understanding over most UPCI ministers as far as tolerance.
There remains one small thing of which I doubt even he is aware. In reading posts to you (not about you) there is still the slightest air of condescension. Like the woman he knows to be a lesbian but is nice to her anyway for the last two years.
The fact that his interaction is totally dependent on how far along they are in accepting the gospel.
True love loves. It does not overlook, it does not fail to preach/teach the gospel. But it is not conditional either. "Loving" the unsaved as a means to get them to church is not the fullness of agape.
I am glad Jesus never approached me that way.
Another problem with it... who knows the heart. Just because their lips denounce does not mean their heart is not seeking and exploring. Perhaps they are just noting your reaction to see if you pull back.
Not meaning as criticisms as much as Selah.

At least Jason admits he may not always handle things the right way. Unlike some who think they do.
