I never said or even implied that I don’t believe in teaching. I learned and have learned from teachers. But teachers I have come to trust from relationship or experience.

A Medium thread is NOT a place for you, or anyone else, me included, to be “teachers.” We’re sharing our respective beliefs. Beliefs based on all of our individual journeys.

You have repeatedly said my interpretations are wrong. You have claimed I am trying to be the “savior” of the gay community. Truth be told, I haven’t told you want I think about any kind of sexual practice or morality. I’ve only shared how I think we should interact with fellow believers who disagree with us. I described you as “Judging” based on the opinion-based comments you’ve made to me, Dan, and others about our interpretation of scripture.

I admit that I don’t have the answers, that I am acting in faith, and that I have no right to tell you how to believe. You seem to have a passion for “teaching” me and others how wrong we are. That is the problem I have with the arrogance of your confidence. Confidence in something that by nature is dependent on faith.

I truly believe we have reached the end our discourse.

Be well.
