Open Letter To Rachel's Pastor Coleman Glenn

I put this up on a blog for Pastor Coleman Glenn, Rachel's Pastor at the New Church of Dawson Creek in British Columbia. It is about free will and atheist believing in good and evil. It is also about caring about Rachel and either her or him noticing that I am following Christ example by forgiving her and asking for her forgiveness and actually wanting that person back in my life because, One I love them, and two life is too short to hold grudges and hurt the people you love. It is a direct challenge to his emails and replies to me and his world view

To Pastor Coleman Glenn

First of All Pastor Glenn as a Christian I will leave a song as an example by an Atheist who does believe in the definition of good and evil without out the benefit of a Deity. I hope you listen to the words of the song before you choose to comment on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEagR_xqjp4 Now this is from an Atheist who is a musician and has a Ph.d in geology and He has writing a book with opposing views to a Christian friend entitled "Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant? A Professor and Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism & Christianity". I feel that your interpretation of the Bible and the scriptures makes people turn towards atheism and selfish desire more that it does help them to appreciate the will of God. You talk alot about self importance and free will but I do not hear alot about God's will. In dealings I have had with you and the New Church in Canada you speak alot about how its ok to do what you want and that we have free will to do what we want. Does that mean God wants us to go out and murder because we feel like it? Is it ok to commit adultery with someone, lie to them about wanting a family with them, curse a person who is grieiving instead of being encouraging to them when all they ever did was support you and love you. I read Swedenborgs writings and I read the bible and then I look back at some of the things you said to me and they seem more selfish than charitable and loving. I put God first and I will love my fellow man before I would lie to them, hurt them, or cause them pain. You have said to me that it is ok for people to do that and doing God's will doesn't matter at least that is what I got from what you said to me. Wanting forgiveness and forgiving another was what I thought God wanted but instead you would rather have two people apart and holding a grudge against each other. I forgave the person in your congregation who wronged me but you said their free will was to treat me like they were treating me and you supported it. As a Pastor I thought you weren't supposed to be bias and I did nothing but try to make peace with them and you formed an opinion of me because I love people and don't give up on them. Free will may be guarded by God but His will ultimately is what matters to me. So I ask you this question. Is it evil to commit adultery, is it evil to lie to people, is it evil to curse people, hate them, and not seek forgiveness with them? All that happened to me but you assured me that free will is all that mattered. Why wouldn't an atheist believe in good or evil if all they are doing is asserting their free will. If that is the case then we are all hedonist living for our own pleasure. We are not living a life so that we can do the good that God wants us too. You spread a loving message but you also use that message to downplay the love others have for God. I would never walk up to a person of the New Church and put down their love of God but you told me it was ok for one of your members to use their love of God to put me down in not so many words. Some of my best friends are Mormons, Muslims, Catholics, and Buddist but do I deny their entry into heaven or their love of God or lack their of based on my own narrow world view of God? No. I am simply reply to the way you as a Pastor have treated me as a person who loved and cared for someone of your faith and you constantly make excuses for this persons behavior and free will. I am sorry that you don't believe in forgiveness, you don't respect the love others have of God, and that you would even endorse someone being hateful to someone who had lost a family member someone who accepted your faith as I did accept the New Church teachings and wanted to learn more. Both that person and you turned me away. I know you wont answer this you will just ignore me and delete it. My hope is though you will reflect on this as I am a Christian and I know why so many people turn away from God and it is because some of us are so selfish, narrow minded, and one dimensional that we cant see the beauty of sharing God's message for our own world view. I am very sorry that you talk about seeing God and His love beyond the Five Senses because I have and I have asked someone in your congregation to look at that and see that I care about them that much. I have asked you and others to see that my heart lies in forgiveness, love, and peace but you continually tell me that believing in those is overseen by free will of man.

I feel that your interpretation of the Bible and the scriptures makes people turn towards atheism and selfish desire more that it does help them to appreciate the will of God.

Further more you can put me down, make fun of me, discourage Rachel from making peace with me and reconcile but as a Pastor I thought you would guide her to seek peace with me. I have nothing but love with her and I have spent the better part of a year letting people know all over the world. It was a direct response to all the cruel and hateful things she said and did to me and I just wanted to show her that I loved her and had love in my heart for her not hate and I wouldn't treat her like an enemy after she acted like she was there for me and my closest friend. Love always wins over evil Pastor Glenn I am just sorry you can't see the beauty of what I am doing. If you would look to Jesus love and His word you would know that. I love Rachel Myatt with all my heart and though she chooses to hide and ignore me it is because she knows that what she did was wrong and cruel.  Nonetheless I love her and forgive her and pray for good things to happen to her and her family every night but I am not worthy of her forgiveness and good will after she tore me down and abondoned me. It doesn't seem Charitable and Christian to me. Anytime someone ask for my forgiveness I grant it because God gives me His grace and died so that I can give that grace to others even though I am a sinner.  I just wish you would take a look at the whole situation and not just what you want to see.

I Challenge you PASTOR COLEMAN GLENN to use the good in your teachings to bring  people closer together. I Challenge you to help people find peace and love in their lives. I Challenge you to look at the situation I brought to you almost a year ago and see that if I really didn't love Rachel I would have not stayed around and cared so much. If Christ were standing here right now with you and me and Rachel what do you think he would say? None of us is perfect but I have been the one who has tried to seek peace with someone who was very hurtful and hateful to me. I was willing to go worldwide to tell that person that yes they hurt me and I hurt them but I forgave her, I still love her, and I still care. What did you do? You discouraged peace, you encouraged her actions of evil against me, you were condescending when you answered me? Of course I come off arrogant when the Pastor of a Church tries to talk down to me as I came to you a trusted servant in the Lord. I had nothing but love for you and Rachel. I simply asked you why she had learned to be so selfish and hateful when all I did was love her and keep my promises. She used the New Church teachings to tear me down on many occasions and all I did for better or for worst was love her and believe in her. So while you try to ignore me and you continue to coddle Rachel in her hateful attitude towards people. Just remember this.  I love this person with all my heart and with God's love. If I had of been 10yrs younger I probably would have wanted revenge and evil to happen to Rachel but God has progressed  me to want love and reconciliation with Rachel.  My faith is strong and I will stand up to you, Pastor Cooper or anyone else because I had nothing but respect for you and you can't even answer my simple questions about the free will that you teach Rachel about that causes her to act in the manner she did.  I am sorry if putting this out here or commenting as such causes you any inconvenience but God has given me a plan and it evolves making peace with not only Rachel but coming to clarity and peace with the New Church of Canada. If you want Pastor Coleman I will fly out to Dawson Creek one weekend and sit through one of your services and then if you can get Rachel and me in a room together to make peace and listen to what we both have to say if she will agree to it then that is wha I will do. It will cost me about 1000 dollars for a flight just to come out there for barely a day but that is how much Rachel and Jonathan mean to me and if you cant see that as true love and wanting to make peace with someone then I think your message fall short. Would you even accept me into your Church though? The guy who challenges you and wants to make peace with someone. The annoying guy that writes letters to the Church. The African American guy who will be the darkest one in the Church. See I dont see any of that and all I wanted was to love and worship with Rachel and you turned me away. Rachel meant the world to me and I have had so much good to say about her that outweighs the bad. I just want her to see that her actions affected not only me but lots of others. I had the free will to hate her and be evil but I brought my greivances to the Church and I kept things online to a minimum but I do love her enough that I wrote a book about our relationship and I want her to know that is how much I love her that I would put my feelings, thoughts, and pain out there because she did mean that much to me. So when you stand up today and give your Sermon just remember someone is reaching out to make peace with not only Rachel but to you and your congregation in Canada as whole. The U.S. pastors are great and they had nothing but encouragement if they chose to write back. Can you rise to the occasion and see that I am about love, forgiveness, and patience because if I didn't truly love Rachel things would be different by now and evil would have won. God Bless if you read this and if not God Bless you and watch over everyone in your Church and their families also. I leave with a Christian song that I enjoy sharing with others by the Sidewalk Prophets I dedicated it to you and Rachel this Sunday Morning. Its called "Just Might Change Your Life" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl0uh95gjDw I am not afraid of what you or the New Church think of me. I am not afraid of what Rachel or her family think of me. I know that I love her and them and I love her and Jonathan with all my heart and all I wanted to do was love and worship with them for the rest of my days. I give my heart to Jesus and He alone is my God , My Lord and nothing you can say can turn away the love He has instilled in me for Rachel and she mocked and made fun of that and I came back with love and a worldwide campaign to let her know that I believed in her and all that she was even if she turned her back on me. I pray for love, peace, and happiness with all my brothers and sisters and if I have falling out with someone I put my all into making peace with them and loving them.All my friends would tell you that I always forgive and I try to make peace but moreover if I tresspass on someone else I ask for forgiveness.


Ask yourself this one question both Pastor Coleman and Rachel. Is or was it charitable or good for Rachel to treat me cruel or unkind as she did when I was in a state of grief. She said she accepted me, and was willing to try to understand what I was going through but she didn't? Would you like if someone lied to you, tore you down, demeaned you, and belittled you who had just days before told you they loved you and were there for you? No you wouldn't Pastor Coleman but you seem to condone it.  It was not charitable, it was not good, and it was not right. I take full responsiblity for my actions and though after Rachel's treatment of me for about a week I wanted to lie down and die you know why I didn't? Because I loved Rachel and never wanted her to have to live with that because believe me I had it happen with my best friend and it still haunts me. I wish he had of never given up and he did. So I loved Rachel so much I said I will stay alive, fight,and show her I love her with all my heart and if you can't see that God loved me so much and that I truly love Rachel and Rachel doesn't see that then I will just keep trying.  I won't give up if I have to spend another year on this. Instead I would hope she would pick up the phone or email me and start the healing process between two friends. That is where my free will lies in loving and making peace with others.

I am God's Child first and foremost. It seems Rachel and you Pastor Coleman don't think I am scientifically adept or intelligent enough to understand Swedenborg's teachings. I have studied religion and science my whole life and minored in philosophy. I had read the Holy Bible 3 times through before the age of 10. I actually had to find God because he was forced upon me. I rebelled against him for so long and then he called me and I took that calling 16yrs ago at age 20 so that I would live my life for peace, to help others, and to live a life that each day mattered not for myself but for others. I am sorry that Rachel felt that saying that you love someone and then playing the games with me like she did was appropriate. I loved her and had nothing but respect she was the only woman I have ever loved that much. She has tainted my view of women to where I will never be able to trust another one because she was supposed to be the best : A Strong Christian Woman but all she did was judge and act like she was better than me using the New Church theology and all I did was open my arms to accept because I love her and God. So I will leave you with another video by atheist which you think don't know good from evil. This song is called  "Struck A Nerve" being a Christian doesn't stop me from learning about those who do not believe as me but you seem to teach to shun them and treat them with disrespect. I never will http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFBVmhISLos

Arcana Coelestia 2535
"If the man prays from love and faith, and for only heavenly and spiritual things, there then comes forth in the prayer something like a revelation (which is manifested in the affection of him that prays) as to hope, consolation, or a certain inward joy."


Arcana Coelestia 9449
"The signs that sins have been forgiven are the following: Delight is felt in worshiping God for the sake of God, in being of service to the neighbor for the sake of the neighbor, thus in doing good for the sake of good, and in believing truth for the sake of truth. There is an unwillingness to merit by anything that belongs to charity and faith. Evils, such as enmities, hatreds, revenges, unmercifulness, adulteries in a word, all things that are against God and against the neighbor are shunned and are held in aversion."

Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Sincerely
B
