Episode 4: If This Hurt, Let’s Talk

A Pastoral Word to the Wounded, the Confused, and the Teachable

Series: You Cannot Love Jesus and Slander Catholics and Jews

If this series stung, it might not be because you were attacked. It might be because you were convicted. And conviction is not condemnation. Conviction is the King repairing what our words damaged.

In this Wednesday deep study, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks you through the Bible’s covenant repair pattern, confession, correction, restitution, and re formation. This is not a vague call to “be nicer.” This is Torah level justice applied to modern Christian speech. In the Bible’s Ancient Near Eastern world, false witness is not just bad manners. It is community level injustice. It harms reputation, breaks trust, and endangers the vulnerable.

You will learn a practical verification tool you can use immediately, the Gate Test:

Who said this?

What is the evidence?

What is the full context?

What is my motive for sharing it?

You will also see Zacchaeus as the New Covenant model of measurable repentance that restores what was stolen and rebuilds trust. Because a follower of the Way does not only say, “I’m sorry.” A follower of the Way says, “I’m going to make it right.”

Primary Bible texts, side by side in the Lexham English Bible (LEB) and the Complete Jewish Study Bible (CJSB):

Deuteronomy 19:15–21

Numbers 5:5–7

Is This Compromise, or Obedience?

People will call it compromise when you stop slandering Catholics and Jews. The Bible calls it obedience. In Episode 3, Dr. Shawn M. Greener defines compromise versus obedience, anchors truth telling in Ephesians 4:25, exposes the sin of cursing image bearers from James 3:9–10, and warns against arrogance toward Jews from Romans 11:18–20. You will get five non negotiables for clean, courageous Christianity, plus short replies to hostile objections so you can stand firm without rage, sarcasm, or cowardice.

When you hear this series, what do you feel first: anger, relief, curiosity, or conviction?

How Does Theology Turn Into Violence?
Mary, Jews, Catholics, and the Sin Underneath It

Episode 2, New Series: You Cannot Love Jesus and Slander Catholics and Jews!
How does theology turn into violence, biblically? In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener, a Follower of the Way, shows how theology becomes dangerous when it disconnects from humility, truthful speech, and love of neighbor.

Anchored in the Bible’s covenant ethics, with Hebraic worldview and Ancient Near Eastern context, we examine slander, false witness, contempt, and careless speech, and why Scripture treats these as neighbor endangering sins.

Key texts include Leviticus 19:16–18, Exodus 20:16, Matthew 12:36–37, Ephesians 4:25, James 3:8–10, Luke 1:38, and Romans 11:17–22 (LEB and CJSB).

Have you ever assumed harm only counts if it was intentional?
