In reply to WJ. How do you figure that God was the first sex offender?

Perpetuates the myth that a church can identify the abusers by checking the registry:

Well i wish people would (and im guilty of it too, trying to change) stop this ” I’m right hear what i have to say” and the other says ” no I’m right hear what i have to say” instead of whose right lets look at what is right. All an argument is, trying to make the other to believe what your saying. Instead let all figure out what is right. According to God a murderer or a sex offender Can be a pastor because to live above reproach means that you’ve turned your life around and asked God’s forgiveness and God did so, and as a reborn Christian you try to live Christ like and When you commit another sin ( and you will) you realize what you’ve done get back on that narrow road toward God and repent ask forgiveness and try to Continue to change your life and be Christ like as humanly possible. Every human on this earth (living or dead an to be born has and will commit a sin and are fallible so will commit another sin. So Robin you have it wrong, he can be a preacher (according to the Bible) who are you to dispute God direction and guidance. God called him to preach, that’s what God wants you obey and do as God says. If a church doesn’t follow even one of God’s ways as God says we must, is falling short of the glory of God. Above Reproach does not mean you have not committed a sin because everyone has committed a sin, every preacher has sinned and is still committing sin. True believers have turned there life around and living Christ-like and not falling into your old ways, basically not being a hypocrite. Not preaching that murder or stealing or lying ect.. Is a sin and behind closed doors your doing what you are telling them is a sin. That’s how when it says ” to live above reproach so that nobody can say your not living and doing as God says to”. In reality it does not matter in the end what people say about you. What matters is your in Heaven because you’ve done what God says to. What does matter is the truth and spread that truth to as many as possible. Who God calls is the right person for job and no man say different.

In reply to Maestro. Maestro, I gave my life to Christ many years ago. In the interim I have made many mistakes but when I look at some of my good decisions that is the best I ever made.

It reminds me of the Casting Crowns song lyrics for ” if we are the body ” -” Jesus paid much to high a price , for us to pick and choose who should come”
or ” does anybody hear her ”
“If judgment looms under every steeple
With lofty glances from lofty people
Who can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we’ve never even met her”

if only the sins and transgressions of the people on the SBC board that made this decision were made public to all, maybe they would not be so quick to condemn

In reply to Media. “Restraining order”?? I get the impression that someone who talks like that loosely, pastor or no, is a lost cause who will not be interested in understanding the issue until it happens to them. Who needs ‘em.

In reply to Media. Certainly if their idea of prevention is to eject a congregation for the background of their pastor, then they are taking their eye off the ball. I would only add that, in most areas where I appear to be knowledgeable, I am usually just winging it (don’t tell anyone).

In reply to Media.

Sarah F, sorry to hear of your dilemma. The churches you have contacted are obviously not serving God but are acting as a center of entertainment for those who need their consciences tickled. I currently attend two different churches…one is non-denominational…East Coast Christian Center, and the other is a United Methodist church…FUMC Port St. John. Both know my background and both have allowed me to serve in various functions with no problem. It is so important to get yourself and Ed involved in a good ‘truly’ Christian church. The Bible even emphasizes the need for such a relationship. Don’t give up. As long as you all attend incognito that will let people get to know you. There is no requirement for you to ‘open your kimono’ just to attend services. Keep up the faith. The first months of freedom are the toughest. They will get better.

FAC asked us all not to get into a religious debate so I don’t want to make it that but I gotta reply to your response because you’re doing what a lot of Christians do – apologizing for the wording and ways of mankind in the days of the Bible scriptures. So here goes….

What, other than fear of death and a need for the IDEA of an afterlife, could be the reason for anyone to take the existence of a higher power seriously when such higher power condones the harm of the very children we want to protect?

Christians come down on the Muslim faith due to the “prophet Mohammad” marrying a 9 year old, (and in many Muslim counties it’s still a thing in the modern world) yet the bible stories have similar instances. That is my point.
