Armed guards removing church members because they called out sin? The Bible says to do it.
Have we come to this?
please read my first comment I’d love to know your thoughts.
Does Robert Morris have a show on one of the Christian TV channels? The name sounds familiar to me.
Evil in the Pulpits.
Evil people pretending to do good things is what we are these days.
My church has a whole lot less than $500 million in assets. But each quarter, the head deacon delivers a pretty detailed financial report and the books are always open for any member to inspect.
I’ll look that up and post it thanks for the heads up.
That is freaking evil. I can’t believe how much these churches are falling.
The people in the pews know what evil is and are saying so but the leaders are corrupt and what was it that Jesus said about them? Lovers of what? Someone help me out I’m upset right now.
I looked up Morris and he’s the guy I was thinking of. I guess now he’s a FORMER televangelist.
Two separate issues involved in answering your question.
The Church, whether good or bad, has the right as a private entity, to trespass anyone who it likes, just like you or I could trespass anyone we wanted to on our property. Is it justified? Is it good relations? All depends, right?
The second part of your question relates to calling out sin. Yes, that’s ok, good actually. But in a society where free speech is a right, no consequence to free speech is not necessarily so.
Seems to me like she could move on and just find a good church. On the other hand, I cant fault her for calling out a problem. Its a matter of how much energy one thinks its worth to fight it.
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1
The apostles warned us 2,000 years ago - why are we surprised?
Not unlike Pope Francis removing Bishop Joseph Strickland from his position as bishop of Tyler, TX.
Unjust.
Any church with a 501-3 is pretending to serve at least two masters but really is only serving Mammon.
So why are the people remaining in the pews?
Are they too brainwashed to just not go there?
With idiot "Christians" like these, we might as well submit and become Muslims.
Shameless.
I'm not saying he didn't do the dirty deed. I'm just saying I need more than a quick read of one article before I join the world in calling out another servant of Christ...especially given that the source is Christian Post.
Sure you do. Just be sure you know the facts
I've seen a good preacher and his family stalked by a crazy woman. She made all kinds of allegations, none of which could be proven and some of which were physically impossible - as the man and his wife were out of the country on a mission in Central America the years she claimed events occurred.
I've also seen accusations of homosexual priest behavior in our school, which were proven to be absolutely true
It takes a lot of wisdom to adjudicate these things. And the devil will never stop challenging the faith of believers.
In the Bible the prophets who called out sin, including Jesus, are remembered for walking in the ways of the Lord. The profits had their tables upset in the Temple.
“Seems to me like she could move on and just find a good church. On the other hand, I cant fault her for calling out a problem. Its a matter of how much energy one thinks its worth to fight it.”
Thank you for all your responses first of all. Yes that is all true.
Second and one most concerning is if she does not call them out and others are hurt. I see it from her point of view. They need to make change.
We talk about what happened in the Catholic Church and maybe she sees what happened and does not what a repeat of this.
She is being loud and vocal to the point they will do something?
Not sweep this under the rug Not have more victims in the future? She wants to make sure there is change.
My their actions they have said “we don’t care and we will go on as business as usual”
The Great Falling Away has been in progress since Madeline O’Hare succeeded in having God removed from the classroom.
“’ve also seen accusations of homosexual priest behavior in our school, which were proven to be absolutely true”
I support all Catholics who are against that behavior. That is why I’m on this woman’s side.
All of us have to step up and tell these church leader they are wrong and to cut the crap.
