How a Typical Preacher Diverts Answering the Questions
Weekly Sermon, 18 June 2023
By Pastor Ted Weiland
The false preacher’s response differed from what was expected in terms of his focus and approach. The texts mention that the preacher chided the speaker for not discussing the church as a viable option, despite the speaker already proving that God’s plan is not limited to a spiritual Israel but includes people from all nations who have come to the Lord. The speaker questions whether the preacher truly listened to the messages, as the preacher’s response seemed to build straw men and avoid addressing the real issues. The modern-day preacher’s response was not in line with what was anticipated, as he did not engage with the speaker’s arguments and instead focused on irrelevant aspects.
