He believes in the death and resurrection of Jesus, so he's my brother and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to love him and ask G_d to sort him out, while attempting to teach him the best I can.

An article on confronting with truth:

Jesus did not come to the world to unite it, but to divide it. Divide it between the goats and the lambs.

"He believes in the death and resurrection of Jesus, so he's my brother and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to love him and ask G_d to sort him out, while attempting to teach him the best I can."

After reading several of his homilies and writings, I came to the conclusion that this family-oriented young man was a seeker who had been, at some point, waylaid by the radical propaganda of his schooling.

Your response to my post indicates a similar mindset to my own, except that even the "brother" part I must leave to a Divine determination. Happily, that decision is not mine to make.

However, neither am I able to make such harsh judgments as those posted by some here, whose judgmental tones turn many away and may seem by some to be as inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus as are Villines' expressed political opinions on abortion, war, and other "hot" topics.

At any rate, his conclusions are seriously flawed, and my prayers are with him and any "flock" of followers whom he leads.
