Listening to this podcast was one of the must uncomfortable and sickening things I have ever listened through. Jared Moore wants to come across as a mild mannered, Gospel – centered pastor, but the truth is he is deceitful, judgmental, arrogant, and self-righteous. At the beginning of the episode, it is easy to see that Jared has an agenda and has no intention to actually have a conversation with Pieter, While I do not agree with everything that Pieter stands for, Jared makes absolutely no attempt to actually listen to what Pieter is trying to communicate. He rants, criticizes, and ignores Pieter, all in an attempt to be head the loudest. When Pieter communicated that he would have to end the call if Jared continued with his rhetoric, Jared then called Pieter childish names and tried to treat Peter as a kid throwing a fit. This was not the way it went. Pieter remained cordial, patient and considerate with Jared until it was clear that the conversation was not going to be fruitful.. he did not throw a fit or call Jared names.. he simply ended the call. The message Jared is preaching is NOT Biblical. He is taking the creation story out of context and creating a narrative that is in truth man centered. He is adding to the Gospel message and is inferring that it is Jesus plus something else that brings salvation and sanctification. No.. Jared!.. Christ alone saves sinners. It is not faith and marriage that save. It is not marriage and kids that save. It is faith in Jesus, His death on the cross and his resurrection that redeems mankind. Marriage between a man and a woman was Gods design in creation , but Jared seems to forget that the fall happened and that everything (even marriage) is not corrupted. Two broken sinful people in a marriage do not bring healing or salvation. Marriage is not repentance, Christlikeness is . To add anything to that is horsey. Jared Moore preaches a false gospel and a false hope. Jared Moore preaches a gospel that seeking Holiness and Christlikeness is not enough. Jared Moore preaches a Gospel that the union of two sinful, broken people is the ONLY thing that will bring true healing and true repentance for individuals that are tempted by same sex attraction. Jared Moore has made an idol out of marriage. Jared preaches a sermon that is damning. Jared preaches a promise a false hope… He preaches that if you just follow steps 1,2 and 3 you will be free of all temptation and sin, instead of preaching the Gospel. It is Christ alone the redeems mankind. Repentance is turning away from sin and seeking Christlikeness, not jumping into bed with the 1st available woman that will marry you and bare you children.
