Bible Note: John, I'm sorry that I did not clarify my position. This is a very difficult call, and not one that I am called to make. I believe that a Pastor is to live at a higher standard, but a Pastor is also human. I believe that there are times a pastor needs removed, but I also believe that the Lord told us to forgive them, and leave the judgment to Him. If something like this were to happen twice however, then I believe that the Pastor should be fully removed from the ministry. I hope that helps you some. If any of you have a better answer to this please tell me so that I can take a solid stand for the Word of God. In Christ, Pastor Paul |
