Anyhow. Sorry about my terse language.

Pretty disappointed with my pastor's interpretation of John 3 last night.

Pastor's inability to grasp the message detailed in this article leads me to believe im going to need to seek out another church that better internalizes and comprehends the word.

Mate the apostles frequently failed to understand JC’s lessons and he constantly had to correct them on it. When Jesus died Peter literally went back to fishing/his old life. As such don’t be too harsh on your pastor.

Arguably the apostles ‘failing to understand lessons’ was a narrative device used by gospels to be able to reframe the lesson to ensure the reader understands them.
