Don't expose these cruelly reviled heads of megachurches who may have done wrong and let them continue doing whatever it is they've been doing? That's not the Jesus of the Gospels. The real Jesus overturns tables in places of worship if he sees any underhanded practice. His followers should do the same.<br /><br />If church leaders have dishonestly used church funds, they should be punished more severely than if a lay person has done wrong. That's because they carry a heavy responsibility as the representative of God on earth and to shepherd the flock. Do you not agree? Do you think church leaders who are placed in a position of trust should be dealt with more lightly? If so, what are your reasons? Did your church leaders teach you that?<br /><br />Naturally, if I start my own megachurch and I intend to dip my fingers into the till, I will most certainly prime my flock to always cast an indulgent eye on good old me. My wrongs must be swiftly and unconditionally forgiven and woe betide anyone who dares to expose my criminal wrongs!TLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777216835117522284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40250219062002506.post-59833817699487188522012-07-30T17:23:11.813+08:002012-07-30T17:23:11.813+08:00Jesus has advised that it is incumbent upon us to...Jesus has advised that it is incumbent upon us to lay aside any desires to condemn and punish sinners, and to ensure that any attempt at reprisals against sinners is contained. Everyone who has ever inhabited the earth plane has at some point behaved atrociously – no one is without stain of sin.jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739671137603049253noreply@blogger.com
