1 | Church is kidnapped to Sodom! | James 2:8 | Ivory313 | 75127 | ||
He is involved in sexual harassment with another new victim student while being disciplined and the case is brought to court and awaiting judge decision. To be honest, I don't think he will repent even being put into jail. | ||||||
2 | Church is kidnapped to Sodom! | James 2:8 | Ivory313 | 58574 | ||
Dear John, Hong Kong is different from USA. Churches are very near to one another. We can attend more than four churches per day in Hong Kong. We have membership in the mother church, but recently we join the worship and fellowship for another church because we don't like the chief pastor in our mother church. If a church has so much sexual sin and gossip that cannot be solved for so many years, there must be problem structurally. That all I can expose to you. I don't want to give too much judgment in this issue. Think about the below: 1. Preventive action is always better than corrective action. Will you go to bible daily or only when there is problem and test? 2. It is wrong for a seminary to concentrate only on academic without concern about the spiritual life of their student. 3. Study bible cannot make us holy. 4. Are we using God's word to satisfy ourselves rather using ourselves to follow God's word? I use Psalm 50:16-23 to describe the pastor sin in sex. |

Dear Pastor Paul Thanks for your advice. I will discuss this matter with a senior pastor from another church. I do'nt feel comfortable to see the sinner pastor alone. May be someone can go with me later. In fact, the case is much more complicated than you can imagine. He is teaching theology class in seminary. His wife is working in seminary too. He and his wife live in the housing provided by seminary. If I disclose the issue, He will lose his job, lose his family and lose his house. I need some time to discuss it with my senior pastor. I wish the Lord will give me wisdom. Pls pray for us. In christ, ivory313 |

4 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | Ivory313 | 54486 | ||
Greeting Nicki, I have tried to explain to the pastor that his reason for 1 Cor 14:2 referring to a pagan god is not strong enough. But he claim that grammatically in Greek, there should be an article before God in 1 Cor 14:2 if it is referring to a turth God. And he claim that singular tongue refers to babbling. He said Mat 6:7 is a proof of pagan god in 1 Cor 14:2. I have tried my best to fight for the truth but I don't have enough knowledge in Greek. May the Lord remember my effort in preaching truth to my brother and sister! | ||||||

6 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | Ivory313 | 53880 | ||
Greeting Scribe, I think the situation is not so worse. The pastor believe that "speak in tongue" (1 Cor 14:4) is different from "speak in tongues"(1 Cor 14:5). "Speak in tongue" is to pagan God. "Speak in tongues" is to God. So he conclude that Paul rebuke church of Corinth using "speaking in tongue to pagan god" to edify themself(1 Cor 14:4) |
