Dear friends, I want to apologize for saying St. Peter was a false teacher because he taught one false thing for a brief time. Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, and blessed St. Peter, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. I did not mean to place St. Peter, however, even anything at all like, say, Fred Phelps. Fred Phelps definitely is a false teacher in one of the worst senses. St. Peter just made a brief mistake, out of love for truth, he made a zeal for Jewish custom too much.
There is nothing much truthful about the activity of Westboro Baptist Church. What I was trying to get at is Ezekiel 18. This suggests that any man who lives a life of sin, but who later repents and seeks God, can be forgiven for all of his past sins. And that any man who lives a life of righteous works, good works, and who was doing good, but who later begins to live a life of sin, will not be forgiven. A person must repent fully of all past sins in order to be forgiven by God. Perhaps any false teacher can find forgiveness as it it says is possible in Ezekiel 18 for any sinner who repents. May God forgive us. It would be a miracle of God's grace if Fred Phelps turns into a man of Christian love, instead or error and hate.
God save us all from giving into hate. God bless Fred Phelps. God deliver us from our past wrongdoings. God protect us from the kind of activity that Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptists have done in this country. They need to repent of harassing innocent people at funerals.

Dear friends, I apologize if I have fallen into an error of "supercorrectness", and trying to figure everything out. There are many things I do not know or understand. I thought I was trying to be charitable. But charity may indeed indicate more that Fred Phelps is a false teacher. And so I should not also call St. Peter a false teacher, just because St. Peter made a mistake one day in insisting on circumcision for Christian converts. Any true Christian can have a bad day. God forgive me. I am sorry to St. Peter for saying that about him. I am certain I have taught some false things and having a bad day in times past. I am sure I have had some immorality that needs forgiven. I hope that I shall be reconciled to God. I seek not to repeat my past mistakes. May God forgive me. Lord have mercy on all of us. Amen.
