A preaching sex offender

Thought this was an interesting discussion Glenn was having. I find the situation quite confounding. I mean the fundamentals of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is faith and repentence. But the preacher indicated absolutely no regret for anything he did. And never mind the fact that if he was Christian he shouldnt have been sleeping with anyone but his wife let alone with kids. I just dont understand how anyone can ask a man so unrepentant to be a preacher. Am I missing something?

So you let the few anamolies keep you from all of it?

No I have dear friends who believe all kinds of different things..

I just dont believe in any of the major religions.

I believe what can be proven.

Its just how I am.

I can believe in what does not make sense to me and I should be given just as much respect as I give my friends who believe in their way.

Me not believing what you believe does no harm to your beliefs.

Just as you believing what you believe does no harm to mine.

Its OK for people to have differnt beliefs.


What we need to concentrate on is being good to each other which is what 99% of all religion tells us to do.

Organised religion relys on giving someone power to tell you How to believe.

It is fertile ground for corruption.

That's horrible, really, because there exists no Faith required. PLUS - I'd bet if I asked, I could get you to confess belief in TEN things which have not been proven to you.

re: this guy? Very lame. He should actually be IN the church - just kept away from kids...just a precaution and a repercussion of his crime.

Because you arent free. Only the truth can set you free.

I never said that - ask a question related to what I actually write, if you want an answer.

He should be castrated first and then hung by his balls until death no food no nothing. Let the bastard hang and starve to death!!!

Our pastor always urges us to read the Bible passages he preaches on for ourselves, and draw our own conclusions. Any pastor worth his salt will do the same.

Good for him!

that is the way it should be.

He should be asking people to get up and preach the word from their hearts.

I think it would be wonderful if half of church time was devoted to people sitting in samll groups listening to each othe talk about what Jesus was trying so hard to teach this world.

To reach out to others in love.

We do that in small groups/bible studies at various homes. I think it's great also.

Now that is a way to keep the message from getting twisted and keep the power seekers from dragging people arround by the nose with their religion.
