Biblical But Not Jesus?

Send us Fan MailWhat if the Bible has been used often to destroy instead of to redeem? What if sticking to "biblical precedent" can at times actually puts us at odds with the Spirit of Jesus? In this bold and unfiltered episode of Harvest Sarasota, Pastor Dan is taking a sledgehammer to the toxic theology that has justified everything from condemnation to oppression—all in the name of scripture."Just because the Bible says it doesn’t mean you should do it." We’re diving deep into Luke 9, where Jesus shuts down the disciples’ fiery vengeance inspired by Elijah. Because here’s the hard truth: You can be backed by scripture and still be completely out of sync with Jesus. And history proves it—slavery, segregation, religious wars, the suppression of women, and the exclusion of the LGBTQ+ community have all been biblically justified but spiritually misaligned.If it’s not bringing redemption, restoration, and love—it’s not the Spirit of Jesus.So, what spirit are YOU operating in? Join us as we confront the ways the church has missed it, challenge harmful interpretations, and call for a radical return to grace, inclusion, and the redemptive heart of Christ.
