I made a mistake
On Monday Morning With Jesus I misunderstood something
In yesterday’s Monday Morning With Jesus I made the following observation. This quoted bit appears about three quarters of the way through the piece.
Having made the statement that we are all rooted in Christ, Pastor Lee made a statement I do not agree with. It is a very dangerous statement from the pulpit and could easily be misunderstood by people who cherry-pick scripture to twist into meanings to justify their own behavior. Do not think I am accusing Pastor Kristen Lee of that. She did not imply that nor state that. What she did say is this, “We are gods.” That statement was made several times after she said that we are all made in God’s image and are rooted in Jesus.
That was not Pastor Lee’s intention at all.
The following is the edit I put into the piece just above the quoted bit. However, because the reading is so drastic, I decided I needed to send out a specific bit on this so you know what I wrote is not at all what was intended by Pastor Lee in the sermon. Here is my edit.
EDIT: Someone connected to Pastor Kristen Lee read this and reached out. They spoke with her about my concern below and I have misunderstood her intentions with the statement “we are gods.” It was not a statement that we are dieties but rather a statement that we belong to God. I did not hear the apostrophe in her statement. She intended it to mean we belong to god as in “we are God’s.” My apologies there but I wanted to leave the original post intact.
