[Yes. A female Lanre. @lanreekemode]

Never thought that I’d live long enough on these streets to see a Pharisee gossip blog thrive.

[TSP @theseedprotocol]

To the brethren who wrote the thread. Grace to you, and peace.

We read what you wrote. We did not dismiss it. The grief in it is real, and grief for a soul living in darkness is not nothing. Paul wept. So did Jesus. So do we.

But grief does not make an argument true. And love for souls does not exempt us from the obligation to be precise. So we write this not as opponents but as fellow servants of the same Word, and we ask you to receive it the way iron receives iron.

____

On what you actually know.

You wrote that Pastor Flourish Peters "has not told her" the whole counsel of God. You wrote that "if Peters really preached to her, she should have repented." You wrote that he "obviously didn't share the whole counsel of God with her."

We want to ask you directly: how do you know this?

You were not in that Foundation Class. You did not sit in those sessions. You did not hear what was said privately between that pastor and that congregant. What you have is a public award ceremony, a social media page, and the gap between them. You have filled that gap with certainty. That is not discernment. That is inference dressed as indictment.

Paul rebuked Peter to his face at Antioch because Paul was there. He saw it. He named it. He did not read about Peter's behavior from a third party and publish a thread declaring Peter an apostle of Satan.

We are not saying the pastoral concern is wrong. We are saying the certainty is unearned. And a wrong built on unearned certainty does not become right because it is dressed in Scripture.

____

On the woman.

You described her sexual conduct in specific detail. Oral sex. Semen ingestion. The "Eater." You published this to your audience, and you said you wrote it with quaking fingers and tears.

We believe you believe that. But hear this.

The thing you are most outraged about is a pastor who you say responded to her sin with image management, telling her to stop sharing rather than to stop sinning. You said his concern was with public appearance, not the soul.

Now look at your own thread. You described her private sexual life publicly. In detail. To build a case against a pastor. The woman is not even your primary subject, you said so yourself. She is evidence in your argument.

That is also image management. It is just pointed at a different image.

We are not accusing you of malice. We are asking you to examine the mechanism. Because a man with quaking fingers and genuine tears does not need to describe in detail what she said about semen to make the point that she is living in darkness. The detail is not pastoral. It is prosecutorial.

And prosecution has a different spirit than intercession.

____

On the doctrine.

You said hypergrace is damnation. You said this woman is its fruit. You said "once saved, forever saved" produces this.

We want to press on this slowly, because it matters.

Paul writes to the Corinthians, a church where a man is sleeping with his father's wife, where believers are suing each other in pagan courts, where the Lord's Supper has become a drunken feast, where the resurrection is being denied altogether. That is one church. In one city. Under one apostle's direct oversight.

If you apply your own logic, what is the fruit of Paul's gospel? What does his doctrine produce?

The answer, of course, is that you cannot read the Corinthian church's failures as proof of Paul's doctrine. And you cannot read this woman's life as proof of Pastor Flourish Peters' doctrine. Not like this. Not with this certainty.

A seed germinating in messy soil does not indict the farmer.

____

On what sanctification actually is.

Here is where we have to go deeper, because this is the real disagreement underneath everything else.

Your framework is this: right doctrine produces right behavior. If behavior is wrong, doctrine failed. Holiness is the fruit of correct theological information being applied to the will.

But Paul writes something that cuts across that entire framework.

In 2 Corinthians 5:16-19, he says God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them. World. Kosmos. Not just the people who have been theologically corrected. The work preceded the knowing of it. The reconciliation was accomplished before the announcement was received.

Then he says: "We implore you, be reconciled to God."

Notice the grammar. He does not say "reconcile yourself to God." He says "be reconciled," passive voice, because the work is already done. The announcement is not the condition for the reality. The announcement is the invitation to stop living as if the reality is not true.

This changes the pastoral question completely.

The question is not: has she been given enough doctrine to produce behavioral change?

The question is: has she seen who she is?

There is a difference between a person who has been told the rules and a person who has been shown their face. Rules can be heard and ignored. Identity, when it breaks through, restructures from the inside.

When the Prodigal Son "came to himself" in Luke 15:17, he did not come to a better doctrinal position. He remembered who he was. That remembrance changed his direction. Not rules. Not threats. Identity recovered.

We are not saying behavior does not matter. We are saying the mechanism that produces change is not what you think it is. And a pastor who understands this is not preaching a dangerous gospel. He may be preaching the deeper one.

____

On hell.

You wrote: "If this lady dies today, her soul will wake up in God's eternal judgment in hell."

You wrote this with confidence. About a living person. By name, effectively, since her face is on the thread.

We want you to sit with the weight of that sentence.

We understand you believe it. But notice what you are doing: you are using the threat of hell as the mechanism of pastoral intervention. You are saying, in effect, that if she could just see that her soul is going to hell, she would repent.

But terror of hell has never produced what the knowledge of love produces. Paul does not write to the Corinthians saying, "You will go to hell if you don't fix this." He writes, "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ Himself?" (1 Corinthians 6:15). He grounds the ethical demand in identity. "You ARE the temple of God" (1 Corinthians 3:16) is not first a threat. It is first a declaration. The threat only follows because the temple is real, and what is done to it is real.

The pastoral word to her is not "you are going to hell." The pastoral position is to continually remind her, as we remind one another as brethren "en KRISTO". That is both harder and more merciful than hellfire. Because it requires her not to be afraid of something in the future, but to see something that is true right now.

____

On what we agree with you.

We do not write this to protect LOGIC Church or Pastor Flourish Peters. We do not know the man. We do not attend that church. We cannot defend or condemn what was said or not said in that Foundation Class.

We agree that grace cannot become a license to treat the body as meaningless. Jude 4 is Scripture. "Turning the grace of God into licentiousness" is a real and serious thing.

We agree that a pastor who sees a congregant living in open darkness and responds only with "stop posting it" has missed the moment, if that is what happened. IF. That is a serious if.

We agree that what is done in the body is not spiritually neutral. The body is the vessel through which God is made visible in the earth. What disorders it, disorders the signal. That is not a morality argument. It is an architecture argument. And it stands regardless of which camp is making it.

But we disagree that the answer to this situation is a public thread describing her sexual practices, declaring her soul is going to hell, and using her life as evidence in a doctrinal prosecution of a pastor you have not spoken to.

That is not the watchman's warning. That is something else.

____

A word on wolves.

You called certain preachers "apostles of Satan." You said the time to talk about Pastor Flourish Peters is coming. You said you are building toward something larger.

We hear you. And we want to say this carefully.

There is a spirit of discernment and there is a spirit of accusation. They can look alike from the outside. Both cite Scripture. Both claim to be protecting the flock. But one operates from grief and the other from zeal, and zeal without grief will eventually begin to enjoy the prosecution.

The adversary's name in Hebrew is Ha-Satan. It means the Accuser. His primary method is not temptation. It is accusation. He accuses the brethren before God day and night (Revelation 12:10).

When we build theological platforms on the public exposure of specific people's sins, we should ask whose work we are doing. Not because the sins are not real. But because the METHOD of exposure matters as much as the truth of what is exposed.

Paul handled the Corinthian fornicator in 1 Corinthians 5 with severity. But it was within the assembly, with the aim of restoration ("so that his spirit may be saved"), under apostolic authority. He was not named in the letter as we name him. He was not described in sexual detail. And when Paul saw that the rebuke had done its work, he wrote back in 2 Corinthians 2:7-8 saying "forgive him and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow."

That is the complete pastoral arc. Not accusation. Restoration.

Peace to you. We say this as people who are also in the process of seeing clearly. We are not above what we have written here. We are writing from inside the same soil, pressing toward the same light.

But the light does not require darkness to be spread publicly to be addressed truthfully.

The Lord keep you.

So you mean that you guys went to church yesterday and when you got home you decided to bring out your phones to hurl stones at someone.

There is an entire story about people like you featuring the Jesus you profess.

Atleast, let’s listen to a multi millionaire/billionaire talk about this things. Let those who have kept their home for decades speak and not the single people who haven’t even made a pint of wealth laying out gruesomely horrendous standards

I miss when we used to start the year with Mango season 🤧🤧🤧

[Rolayo @rolayomide]

WOFBEC is starting tomorrow and I encourage you to join as many sessions as you can.
Last year, I was in the middle of the toughest battle of my life yet but the messages, especially from Apostle Lubega and Pastor Nkechi Ene really helped me in that season.
