Anybody can be a pastor these days - no matter how devoid of God or common decency 🤪

Black Wives Matter.

“What context would make this okay?”

None that I can think of.

Are we talking “rape rape” here? Just asking for Whoopi.

The only context I can come up with is akin to Trump simply repeating what someone said about him being able to shoot someone in public and getting away with it.

Unless the speaker was repeating what someone else said and then explaining why it’s wrong, he has no business being in a pulpit.

And this is acceptable to Seventh-day Adventist Church?

I really doubt it.

They will not even eat meat because they don't believe in harming animals.

[I-ambush]

Can’t think of a good context for this one.

[Mark]

Wife, CCW? Fagitaboutit!

1 Timothy 4:1
King James Version
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Found the same with JWs.

hold muh beer...

[Political Junkie Too]

Ask him “Who’s the next best?”

The Reverend's wife?

I don’t want to end up with a 9MM Hornady Self-Defense round in my MKIV brain case.

Thanks for clarifying

I read both the article its comments.

The pregnant question I didn’t see asked was, “well, pastor, who is the second best person to rape, if my wife isn’t available?”

I would love to see him squirm trying to answer that!

If a man is contemplating raping his wife I think it is about time he starts looking for something on the side.

[Bullish]

Do I even need to guess about this guy’s demographic?

[Pining_4_TX]

I don’t see any context that would apply if he used the word rape. There are many tyrants pretending to be Christian. A real Christian would never say such a thing.

“the higher-ups in any church organization may not know everything that happens in every parish.”

Some denominations don’t have “higher ups”; they’re autonomous independent churches. Ours is. The membership and deacons are who has the authority to oust a minister, ask for his resignation, etc.
