Show me EXAMPLES from the Bible where God called a man to Lead and then took that calling away without that man doing anything sinful!

You truly have an immature spiritual understanding of how God works. There are numerous examples in the Bible where the Lord calls folks to head in different directions from where their lives have previously been.

It is incredibly silly to maintain that just because the Lord may call someone to be a preacher at one point in his life, it is prohibitive for the Lord to call him to be something else at another point. By maintaining this position, what you are actually trying to do is place limitations on the sovereignty of God, and saying that once God calls a person to do a certain thing, he is unable to call him to do something else. Think about it.

So instead of providing examples, which you did not, I am inmmature in my understanding of the Bible.

With regards to "It is incredibly silly to maintain that just because the Lord may call someone to be a preacher at one point in his life, it is prohibitive for the Lord to call him to be something else at another point." there is nothing silly about my assertion. Saving Men's souls is what Jesus came to earth to do, and by extension, it is what his preacher's are all about. As a Christian you should know this is the single most important and honored position that God can call any man to. And given the importance of the mission of a preacher and the fact that there are NO examples of God Un-Calling his preachers or prophets unless for sin I would say it is you who has an immature view of this issue, not I.
