We need to be accurate in all things, for that reason, I have an apology.
Many of you saw the quoted tweet. I tweeted about it and said this article was ignoring the Jewisness of Jesus for clicks. My tweet is pictured below.

I thought this based on the 2 things the author said
1. He originally thought the geneology of Matthew established Jesus was Jewish
2. He says his thoughts were folly he realized Jesus was mixed race.
I took this to mean we was saying Jesus was not jewish.
I was wrong.

The author @caseybhough offered a clarification. Right off the hop he acknowledges that Jesus was and remains Jewish.
This means I accused him of something for which he is not guilty based on my reading of his article.

I also said the article was written to seek cultural relevancy in terms of cultural approval rather than cultural relevancy in terms of seeking to reach across cultural boundaries.
That was an interpretation based in cynicism, not evidence.
Again, I was wrong.

I brought disrepute to you. I was wrong to have done so. My actions flung mud on you that you did not deserve, and I cast aspersions on your ministry.
I am sorry. I was wrong.

For this reason, I will share some of your blog entry's that reflect well on you with my 27k followers to mitigate some of the damage my tweet caused. I will also delete the tweet in recognition that it was wrong, but leave the screen cap it in this thread so it is not hidden.

I cannot unring a bell, but I can do what I can do to let people know that I was wrong and to restore your reputation to whatever degree it is possible for me to do so.
I am sorry @caseybhough. I ask humbly that you would forgive me.
