Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

Just wondering why you've chosen to judge all by the actions of some.

Hatred of preachers are nothing new Cain hated Abel a prophet, Jude prophecied about those who would perish in the gainsayings of Korah. Saul in the height of this backslidden condition slew the priests and their families. The Psalmist asked a question "why do the heathren rage?" I will answer it is simple they are heathren so it is their nature to raise.

There's plenty in the Bible about crooked, supposed men of God too.

That's sad...so was Peter a lying hireling or Paul? Can you say with a clear conscious before God that you know ALL "ministers" are lying hirelings?

Do you trust any human knowing what many humans have done or are capable of? Would you disparage them here as you do ALL ministers?

I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I don't trust any of them. As far as I'm concerned they all have a hidden agenda and are lying about one thing or another.

Yes and there is plenty in the bible of crooked humans, non ministers, wives and husbands and even kids....does that mean ALL of them are like that?

Sometimes its a numbers game. When you experience more that are deceitful than honest, you tend to believe that the majority of them are deceitful. This may not be true in reality per se, but is true according to your experience.

The only way to correct this perception is to come in contact with those that are opposite of your perception. This process often takes time, but so many want to beat you with a stick and say "get over it right this very second" or as Bro. Epley just so kindly told me on a different thread "you will just have to go to hell"

Rico, I know you've heard this before, but you cannot judge EVERYONE by a few. Please do not go any further on this subject.
