Of course you don't like the way Christ taught, we know that.
Amazing you liberal AmChurch modernists always LOVE to quote the story of the Adulterous Woman in front of the crowd, but somehow always FORGOT to mention Christ humiliated the same crowd. Did that humiliation work for Christ you think? I honestly don't think Christ cares you think of him as an ogre.
You need not to keep making excuses for these disobedient subversives of the church. You all know what you have been doing. NO more talking. Straighten up, shut up, or ship out. Purge is coming to Fort Worth soon. Your 40 years old AmChurch empire is crumbling.
God bless bishop Olmsted of Pheonix. May the might of Christ strenghten him in face of harden sinners, especially the clergy.
Christ humiliated his apostles in public?
This is basic human skills management: don't humiliate your employees in public.
Your example doesn't work, as this priest is a brother to Olmsted, in the clergy, and Olmsted is acting, with all due respect, like a bully. Paul said that correction should first be made in private.
If you think this is the way to work with people, you've obviously never been a manager.
As the character of Thomas More said to Cromwell in "A Man for all Seasons":
"Terror is for children. Not for me."
