Actually, if you notice, you are the one pointing fingers such as asking if Calvinists are obeying Gods Word or accusations labeling the 98%+ of pastors as molesters.
Post back to me my exact words where I said what you are accusing me of. NOW!
YOU:Sure, post 1263 for the first and posts 1242 and 1247 for the second
Here they are - show me where I mention what you are accusing me of .. if you notice, you are the one pointing fingers such as asking if Calvinists are obeying Gods Word or accusations labeling the 98%+ of pastors as molesters IN THESE POSTS
#1263 Cronos, its not only to be READ but OBEYED. Do you think the RCC is obeying Gods Word?
#1242Now that is not complicated to understand. I don't see where it says 'because if there is a bad priest etc. we are to look beyond the faulty human tool and focus on God.. IT SAYS REMOVE THEM.
#1247But they have been around for sooooooo long - supposedly all their church fathers had all the answers for a universal church and what to do about homosexuality stumps them? Bring in a 3rd grader, and the answer would be remove them.

Now labeling the 98%+ of pastors as molesters is completely inaccurate. Especially as I pointed out
to summarise post 1260, though it would be better for all to actually read it
- 250 out of 47,000 priests in the US were dismissed (not all due to abuse). This is 0.53% of all current priests. Many allegations are against dead priests, hence the % goes below 0.5%
- In the Chicago diocese, out of 2,252 priests who had served from 1951 to 1991, allegations of sexual abuse had been made against 59 of them, or 2.6 percent.
- by taking any allegation that had any proof, the number of allegations that had any leg to stand on was 41 probable offenders priests, or 1.8 percent of all priests
- A recent study conducted in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania showed a 1.7 percent figure of priestly sexual abuse involving minors
- This is less than the 4% paedophiles in society at large
- This is less than the 2-3 % of Protestant (various groups) pastors convicted.
- All of this indicates that 1.7/1.8% were bad and dismissed and may they rot in hell yet you cannot label the remaining 98% as bad for these.

So, to conclude, it's not good to be always pointing fingers at the Church when there are a lot of errors and sinners in non-Church groups.
Its so liberal to be always pointing fingers -- the liberals like to attack The Church as it's a good anti-Christian target for them.
Go clean your own group out unless its too overwhelming for you. Pointing fingers isnt turning to God.
