A Review of Ted R. Weiland's Bible Sermons

The Result of the First Step of Matthew 18:15-17

By John Hurt

I accomplished First Step of Matthew 18:15-17 with Ted Weiland -- that Christ said our discussion should be “between thee and him alone” – because I felt I needed to show Ted in private that Christ is supreme. I did this in private by sending letters to Ted through the US Postal Mail, which you can read here:

Letter 1 - April 26th, 2023
Letter 2 - May 5th, 2023
Letter 3 - May 19th, 2023
Letter 4 - June 5th, 2023
Letter 5 - June 21st, 2023
Letter 6 - June 24th, 2023
Letter 7 - August 3rd, 2023

I had hoped these letters would encourage Ted to write me back or call me. But no. Ted Weiland did not care enough about me to write, call, or even email me.

I never intended to go beyond Step One. I wanted ALL of our discussions to be in private. I really thought that Ted Weiland would either ignore me, write me back and tell me I was wrong, or perhaps we could work together to find the truth.

Ted Weiland's Public Response to My Private Correspondence

Ted Weiland's only response to me was to make a very public nine part series of audio sermons called The "Anti-Paul Faction" - Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, which he immediately posted on his website.

I could not believe it! What a mistake I had made! Ted immediately started blasting me from his pulpit, based on my private correspondence to him.

There was no phone call, no email, no written correspondence from Ted Weiland, just his new audio sermons on his website where he referred to me as the "letter writer" and said that I was an "ignoramus" and other names. His sermons twisted what I said into a "straw man" that he could easily defeat with a one-sided discussion, with just Ted speaking and not me.

Ted has his pulpit, and I had no way to refute what Ted had said.

So while I was still at Step 1 of what Christ said, Ted jumped ahead to Step 3 and "brought unto the church", without resolving anything in private, as Christ commands.

But regardless of what Ted Weiland does, I knew I still needed to follow the 3 step process that Christ commanded.
