v2 – Jesus saw their faith. Jesus did not give a crap about how many one-to-one’s they had or how much offering they gave or how many times they attended worship service.

v4 – Jesus asked the teachers of the law: “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?” I ask the UBF bible teachers the same question, especially those at NYUBF.

v6 – Jesus told the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” This is great advice to every student paralyzed by UBF ideologies. Get up, and go home to your family and friends whom you cut off for the sake of your shepherd.

v9 – Jesus called a tax collector. This has zero relevance to the UBF fishing or shepherding. UBF bible teachers are not Jesus and have no right to demand students to leave their families and friends behind. Stop putting yourselves into the bible stories. Students are not tax collectors.

v12 – Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” UBF is not healthy. UBF missionaries are sick. They need Jesus.

v13 – Jesus said, “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’” This is THE ONE THING missionaries and shepherds at ubf need to learn. Get rid of your theology of sacrifice. Throw out your stupid ideologies such as “offer your Isaac”. Learn what Jesus demands: mercy, not sacrifice.
