The series of events that led to this 'rant' (don't know what else to call it) also led me to go up to this leader (whose actions show no agreement with the urging of his words) and to call him a few choice 'names' as he will not hear reason when he claims he listens to it.

I did not try to hurt him, and still shall not; but he does not has faith that our God is the same person, so he does not trust that I won't try to harm him.

But he still claims to be a leader of the 'church,' and so I must continue to teach him persistance—and not necessarily the 'punching the wall of this coffin gradually weakens the lid'-persistance, but the kind of persistance Yeshua asks us to have ... that the adultress can be made clean, that the water can support the walker's weight, that the Napoleonic mentor can rise again.
