Email to John Britto, a church leader from India
Hello John,
Thank you for your reply.
I am copying my friends except some who are not, so they will read your reply below. Let us keep everything on the light, just like God is the light.
Church leaders are not Moses. Moses was a shadow of Christ, not a shadow of a church leader. I have a right to reprove elders of the church publicly:
As for those who persist in sin (it talks about elders here), rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. -1 Timothy 5:20
This was not a cowardly action to reprove them publicly but brave. They threatened to kill me by the hands of security and police, and they have many other ways to destroy me, but I don’t afraid of them. I exited UAE and exposed their wicked works. I was not able to do it while within the country because they have connections. Intentional martyrdom is a false teaching.
This is not only my relationships with church leaders but this what they usually do to all others who disagree with them. Their goal is to protect the organization and its traditions, just like Pharisees used to do. They will not stop at anything, just like Bassam told me: “we will do something bad to you”. If they need to kill someone for the sake of organization, they will do it but not with their own hands. They have many other means. I am not of devil because I am telling the truth. Church leaders are of devil because they are trying to kill me and devil has been a murderer from the beginning.
You call me “bro”, but still you say that I must not have sent this email. If I or other believers in Dubai were your brothers and sisters in Christ, you would have addressed them for the sake of teaching them and finding the truth. What is important for you are not believers around the world but your local organization. You don’t want to get involved because you know that church leaders are lording here, just like church leaders are lording over people in your town. You as well as church leaders have no regard for Jesus Christ because Jesus is the true head of the church. But church leaders erroneously assumed they are the head of the church.
If my email shakes someone’s faith, I don’t care about it. They have been faithless enough to have faith in church leaders.
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. -Psalms 146:3
You call me “divisive” but it’s church leaders who are divisive. I teach according to the gospel but you accuse me of being divisive because I spoke against the organization and its leaders. Bassam said: “Take all who listen to you and go away”. This is the statement of divisive.
You call me prideful because I disobey church leaders. I have Father in heaven whom I obey but church leaders disobey Him. Who is the prideful then, me or them?
Here is what Jesus says about church leaders:
Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." -Matthew 15:14
With love of Christ,
Andrei
