Dear Readers,
I wanted to take a moment to commend someone who I think is an excellent example of what the Clergy and those in the New Church should strive to be. I want to wish God's Blessings on Chuck Blair of New Church Live. When you read his blogs and listen to him speak you are comforted and even if you dont agree with him, you dont feel like someone is trying to belittle you or act like just because they got a New Church Theology degree they are better than you. If you are interested in the New Church after reading my blog then I recommend the New Church Live site. What I want to share with you is something that was in one of Mr. Blair's blogs entitled. "Why The Church Has Hurt You" http://blog.newchurchlive.tv/2012/02/when-church-has-hurt-you/ God has given Mr. Blair great wisdom, insight, and knowledge into His Word but I want to contrast this one point that he made in lieu of how I was treated by Rachel Myatt and Pastor Coleman Glenn of the Church of the New Jerusalem of Dawson Creek.
Mr. Blair uses this as one of his points in his Blog.
from David Miller's "Blue Like Jazz"
2) God is not responsible for man’s decision. The most tragic thing that happens when church people behave poorly is that it can alter the way someone sees God. In researching my book, hole, the Barna Omnipoll discovered that over 30 million people say that religion has caused them to question God. It is important, then, to encourage people to separate the perfection of God from the shortcomings of people, not holding God responsible for the decisions man make without Him.I want you to take one thing from that statement dear readers. Rachel hurt me, someone who loved her and believed in her by constantly using her New Church teachings to put me down and then complaining that no guy would love her or want to be with her because of her beliefs. The New Church and Rachel hurt me in two ways. The first one being and(I have email written proof of it) that I had nothing but respect for the New Church, I wanted to worship with Rachel, and I told her that it wasnt about the Church I went to it was about the relationship with God that mattered to me. I wanted to be one with her through the Lord. The second way I was hurt and devastated is that a Pastor of a Church when I confronted him with Rachel's behavior and ask why did she act like this would constantly turn to free will and make excuses not so much through the Bible but with Words from Swedenborg. I am sorry but if you look at the above statement about seperating the perfection of God and the shortcomings of people then that was the point I have been making all along. God is perfect anything He said in the Bible even though we may question it is His Word. Swedenborg was an imperfect human and is not included anywhere in the Bible Cannon or any sacred writings. Like all people who founded different faiths he is a man. So what makes him any different than any other men that founded Churches? Nothing he is still an imperfect man. God's love is perfect and complete and what saddens me even more is that Pastor Glenn nor Rachel saw that I was grieving, I was hurting, and I needed love and friendship. They had a chance to draw someone closer to God and they pushed me away when I needed it most. I am sorry to this day that you didnt see the love in my heart either one of you.
I also enjoyed another blog by Mr. Blair in which I want to attempt to explain why some people like me exist in the world. The ones who become sucessful and make things happen because they put their faith in God. Not Man!!!!!
In the following blog. What is the killer question for churches and how Emily answered it http://blog.newchurchlive.tv/2012/02/what-is-the-killer-question-for-churches/ I want you to scroll down and look at the picture and then read the blog. The part about turning your Cant's into Cans and dreams into plans. That is brilliant. Rachel was a doubter. She doubted my love, she told me I would never be with her, never come to her, and I didnt believe that. So no matter what she tries to tell anyone. I have proof I never gave up on her, I came to be with her, I have emails, pictures of her and her family, text, and messenger conversations. I made things happen because I put God first. It may seem like I am suffering and in pain by reading this blog but fact is God is the reason for my actions and while I cant say that everything on this blog I write I am proud of, I am proud that I love Rachel and I have never given up on her.
In Closing there are many good and loving Pastors and Reverends in the New Church and while I hold no animosity toward the New Church as a whole in the coming weeks you may see material from me out in the world that would suggest otherwise. My intention to show Rachel Myatt and Pastor Glenn that I am for real, I am serious about the way they use the New Church doctrine to hurt people and that I will not back down because God is on my site. If you were truly loving, charitable, and caring Rachel you would have picked up the phone and made peace with me even if it were just once it would lift a weight off of both of our shoulders. You are so scared that you might actually miss me and want me in your life again and you were so afraid of what others thought of me instead of looking in your own heart for the love you knew that was there that you will never give yourself that credit. Pride eats you up inside Rachel. I am not angry at you, I forgive you over and over again each day . I wish that my best friend in Christ would come back to me but she was too busy judging me instead of being there when I was reaching out for love and needed a true friend. It is your Divinity in Humanity flaw Rachel that keeps you from evolving and having people stick around that love you. I end the blog today with this I do not hate the New Church or its teachings. I dislike how some people twist their teachings to be selfish instead of charitable and selfless. I leave you with this from the NewChurch.org website about forgiveness. It is also by Rev. Chuck Blair
