1 | Church is kidnapped to Sodom! | James 2:8 | jesusfreak508@aol.com | 58708 | ||
Yes. I agree totally. And I have felt inadequate responding to this not knowing all the circumstances. But you are the first person who has had a criteria of any sort that would lead to implementing the Timothy/Titus rules. Would scandal also be determined by the "crime"? Such as a child molester--- you're forgiven by you must not be allowed into any position around children or as a leader because of the very nature of your offense and the ever present danger of backsliding? and Adultery/Fornication-- 1st time and repeat offenders, with also I would think the additional determining factor of the damage it did to the church body by the determination of how many people actually knew and would/could be harmed by it? I guess what I am saying here is that it should be determined on a case by case issue, with mercy being as important as punishment God bless, Melanie |

Greetings Melanie! Good points! This is where a denomination usually has some sort of guidelines for it's pastors. I know mine does. If I were ever caught in certain types of sin, I know that I would lose my ordination in a heartbeat. Other situation might result in me being sent for help. The important thing is that leadership is a responsibility, not a right. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
