Who's right? Did the Pastor abuse their authority? Scriptures would help.  |
A link to the Facebook pages that you're talking about would help.

Both the Pastor AND the Christian have worked things out. In short, all is well!

I'm not sure what that is but the Pastor spoke with the Christian about the status, and apologized for any offense. The Christian repented and regained respect for the Pastor. All is well.

I think the pastor was within his rights. But I don't think it was wise. It just generated drama.

The pastor displayed great humility and unselfishness, even though he was right. God bless them both for letting Godly love win the day.

matthew 18:21-22
New International Version (©1984)
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
