If he does then get into it, see if you can make him see your/our side of the scriptural argument. I think if my pastor and I had such a scriptural difference, we'd be gone...basically because my whole family believes as I do.
Why 'beat around the bush'? Get to the point, resolve the question before it becomes an issue and get on with your life...just sayin'.
I wasn't really saying to beat around the bush, I've never gone hunting but you're there with guns, so I figure you can talk guns, that would lead to CHL's, if the pastor is the one who can bring up the situation at the church he would feel more comfortable in the conversation, more in control. If during a CHL convo the pastor does not bring up the situation then retrieverman should bring it up, take control of the conversation and lead! We know he has scripture on his side! Now he has to show the pastor.
