Again:
So you'd have no objection to having the same background check you suggest. Done on you.
Does this person have any grounds for her demands/accusations? There's alot missing from this story.
I do love how so many here assume that the priest is a criminal of some sort. You assume that he's a criminal.
The woman by her own admission wants a line by line of the budget. She wants to know how much he spent for toilet paper and what brand of salt he uses. That is over the top.
Why over the top?.... know how much is spent for office supplies and the like...it is open and in our budget (line by line).
My question to you is why would you want to be ministered to by someone you know nothing about...the Bible talks about wolves in sheeps clothing and the hirelings who come to lead the sheep astray...we are to guard ourselves from that type of man.... It is not about the ones outside the church that Jesus is talking about...it is those who penetrate in and take positions of authority to lure those he loves away. They are out there...they are in our church bodies...we need to safeguard against them....
A lot of people are hurt by those who claim to profess Jesus Christ as their Savior...when in reality they have their own aganda...be it sexual perversion, a thirst for power, whatever.
I am not willing to entrust my spiritual well being or that of my family, to anyone who comes down the pike. I want to know his credentials but especially who he really is.
