Apology to Rev. Otten

Jan 28, 2010 07:15:24 		Dear Rev. Otten,

I am sorry that I wrote that the day that Christian News is no longer published will be a good day for the Church. My intent in that remark was to attack what I think you see as your legacy and I meant it to hurt you. I do think that Christian News is so misguided that it serves little but the dark lord and barring the return of Our Lord its demise will be a relief for all of us remaining. But nonetheless, my intentions were to hurt and I am sorry for that. Anger, hurt, and foolishness are no excuse for sin. I will seek absolution for this from God through my father confessor and pray that you will also forgive me for the offense that I caused.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Petersen

    Smooth.

    "I'm sorry I said it, but I still believe it so I'll say it again."
    What kind of apology is that?
    Accusing a Lutheran Pastor of working for the devil (or Sauron) isn't going to hurt? [What provoked that!?]

    Your father confessor has my sympathy if he tries to sort this one out!
    [And I don't even read Otten.]

      Agreed.

      What seems misguided is the way you "apologized." It seems you need to repent for your "apology" as well.

      Dear schizophrenic helen,

      "What kind of apology is that?" An honest one, I would say. And his Father confessor doesn't need your sympathy. No one does. Finally, thanks for explaining the humor of Otten/Cascione for us. What ever happened to women learning in silence? Did you come across that verse yet while studying your Bible?

        S. Brown- you're a jerk. People like you are why my neighbors don't go to church.

        That is all.

        S. Brown, I think you owe helen an apology. I assume your response was also made in anger and that you are not actually the misogynist that your above comments portray you as.

        This is church, Mr. Brown?

        I haven't seen any other woman on here told to "Shut up."

        Pr. Petersen,
        I wrote first and investigated afterward. Mea culpa!
        I apologize to you for having done so and withdraw my comments..
        Helen

      OK, I read Otten as reproduced here (although it sounds much more like Cascione to me).

      I think you missed the humor of the piece! Putting "lcms liberals" and "hyper-Euros" in the same sentence and being serious about it cracked me up.

      I'm glad you studied the Brief Statement. Will those of us who couldn't come be able to hear/read your conclusions? (And why wouldn't you study it?) Will it next be verboten to study the Bible or the Book of Concord? I hope not because we are doing both.

    I am in agreement with your assessment of Christian News and am humbled by your honesty. Too often I also allow anger to motivate my actions in defending our faith. This is a lesson to learn.

    Thanks and blessings.

    Pr. Otten works for Voldemort?

    Huh... so much makes sense now...

    That was a classy move, Pastor Peterson. You have my respect.
