I recently mailed Pastor Jeff Redlin of Campus Church at Pensacola Christian
College (PCC) a heartfelt letter on June 17, 2022. Redlin completely ignored
me. So I mailed two more second letters on July 21, 2022. I mailed one to
PCC and one to all the pastors of Campus Church. Again, they all totally
ignored me! I pleaded in all three letters for their love, understanding and
kindly asked for permission to attend their Campus Church. I promised to
remove all my criticisms from social media, and never put them back, with
the understanding that they would allow me to come back to church, because I
needed a church family.
After being cruelly ignored for SIX WEEKS (the silent treatment is a form of abuse), I lashed out against the PCC camp on social media. Only then, after they pushed me to the limit, did Pastor Redlin contact me, to cruelly tell me that I couldn't come back to church because I had made “consequential remarks” on social media against the PCC camp. WHAT BASTARDS!!! They ignored me for SIX WEEKS, when I humbled myself and begged for their compassion, forgiveness and a second chance; but then when I tell them off, they respond to tell me I cannot come back. What they did is wicked, horrible and God sees their unwillingness to reconcile.
Sadly, this is the typical shameful behavior of the PCC camp, murdering people with the letter of the law, while woefully lacking God's merciful spirit of the law. God Himself divided the Bible into two major divisions of LAW and CHRIST (that is, respectively, LAW and GRACE). The Savior did this to simplify the plan of salvation. The Old Testament shows humanity our guilty of sin and need for redemption (Romans 3:19-20), and then the New Testament shows us God's merciful grace which is obtained through faith alone in Jesus Christ. I admit that I am a passionate person. I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. I don't hate Pastor Redlin. I love the guy as my Christian brother, which is why it hurts so much that he is proving himself to be a first-class jerk. Redlin is a rich man, getting paid a 6-digit salary per year. Pastor Redlin makes 3 times what the common man gets paid!!! Yet, he has less love than a Las Vegas casino!
I moved from the island of Guam to the city of Pensacola in July of 2021. I chose to attend Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC). Their senior pastor, Jeff Redlin, didn't like me from the moment he met me. In the very first email that I sent him, to introduce myself to him, he scolded me for mentioning that after 15 years of being divorced and lonely, I hoped to find a wife. That wicked and selfish man, who gets to bang his wife every night, expects me to be alone for the rest of my life. WHAT A DAMN HYPOCRITE!!! I just finished an article titled: “Pensacola Christian College And Masturbation.” I am not trying to be disgusting or foul; but rather, to draw much needed attention to The Twilight Zone attitude of the PCC cult toward divorced people. I'm just getting started exposing PCC on social media!!! Since they choose to be unforgiving and hateful, so be it. All I asked was to come back to Campus Church, but they refused. That is not forgiveness!!! If Jeff Redlin ever grows up and crawls out of his diapers, maybe we can talk like men.
If you don't like my style of writing, then go jump off a bridge, because I don't care what critics think anymore! It is hateful people like Jeff Redlin (and his clown accomplice Tim Zacharias) who are causing people to give up religion and quit church. I am so sick of sycophantic organized religion!!! The shallow PCC camp are merely playing church, just like the Goddamned cult at Bob Jones University. Galatians 1:6-9 warns that anyone who preaches another gospel is cursed by God.
The Biblical gospel is not a Lordship gospel or a non-lordship gospel. It is a simple Gospel of faith in Jesus Christ, and it has a simple definition of faith (to rely upon Christ). Faith involves the intellect, sensibilities and the will, but is a simple receiving of truth by reliance upon it. John 1:12-13, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” No full surrender, no leaving all, no turning from sin. We show our faith by our works, but we have our faith when simply trusting in Christ.
The bottom line is that I tried four times in June, July and August of 2022 to make peace with the PCC camp, but none of them lifted a single finger at any time to meet me halfway. That is abuse at PCC! This whole situation is so sad and pathetic. The truth is that if the pastors of Campus Church and PCC leadership were right with the Lord, they would be reaching out to me with a spirit of restoration, begging me to come back to Campus Church. Galatians 6:1-3 teach that as believers we should esteem others better than our self, and to in meekness and humility try to restore them to fellowship with the saints.
Sadly, PCC just threw me under the bus and left me for dead. I contacted them in an attempt to make peace, but they never did contact me. I have shown love and a willingness to reconcile, but they have looked for any reason to forbid me from attending their Campus Church. Consequently, I sit home on Sunday nights and Wednesday and really have no church family in Pensacola. The church that I have been visiting here and there, couldn't care less if I leave and never return. After attending the church a couple times each month since October of 2021, neither the pastor or his father (who is also a retired pastor) has ever initiated a single conversation with me. No one from the church has ever asked where I live, or for my phone number. If I decided to leave and never return, they wouldn't know how to contact me. That is NOT a church family!
Tragically, to their utter shame, PCC doesn't give a damn about me as a hurting human being. There is no love or compassion at PCC, only rules, rules and more rules; and if you offend them in any way they will show you the door immediately, with no chance of restoration. I humbly offered to do whatever they require to make peace, but they refused. What does that say about PCC leaders? It says that people mean nothing to them. All they care about is protecting the cult's public image and luring new students into their cult. People just want to be loved.
