you’ve used Hebrews 10:25 as your rallying cry you’ve said this was God’s plainly written command you’ve urged us to never cease our gathering together and said that those of us who worshipped instead online were traitors, were apostate, were deniers of our faith having cared more for our safety than our salvation
but you’ve shone your exalted hermeneutic so brightly on one half of one statement of a much larger context you’ve failed to reconcile gathering to the reason for it we are to stimulate each other to love and good works we are to encourage each other as our Lord’s day nears neither of which is accomplished by your condemnation
you have spoken many words for careful consideration do not now forsake God’s command to also love do not now forsake God’s command to also encourage do not now be so narrow in your interpretation your words of correction condemn yet offer no hope to those, who like you, simply seek to serve our Lord
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
