Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

You see if I was perfect then I might have more of an issue with others who aren't. But because I'm not perfect and because I've made mistakes and failed then it's easier to understand how someone else might too. But that doesn't mean that their lives haven't been a blessing and help to many and that they can't be again either.

You have to keep the main thing the main thing. I think that when you trust God with all your heart it's easier to trust others and to understand that God trusts people enough to CALL THEM into ministry knowing full well that they will make mistakes along the way. This is important and perhaps if you look at it this way it might be helpful.

I hope so.

I agree that ministers are human and can and do make mistakes.

I think the problem may be that the saints and ministers are taught such things as "touch not mine anointed" and "obey them that rule over you" in such a way that it leads to the set up of a god-like mentality in those people. Ministers are set up to be viewed as demigogues who are better than human.

Look at the traditions that have been put in place where ministers have no accountability at all to those they minister to and no one will bring them to accountability as in scripture where if there is sin that it is to be dealt with in a certain manner and if you have ought against your brother it is to be dealt with in a certain manner. The ministry seems to be above "the law" so to speak in that they will not submit themselves to be treated like everyone else in these matters. or saints are afraid to follow scripture and approach a minister.
