I don't like this thread and would rather Admin to delete it. It is not serving a good purpose and is giving occasion to unholy conjecture against men of God.

Admin?

Admin?

I agree. He who is without sin, cast the first stone.

This is why they continue to pull the crud they pull. Everybody covers for them.

Preacher forums are a closely guarded secret as far as content.
Sometimes though they will talk about *****but it usually doesn't get along to far before it gets hijack and almost always it will turn to *****.
That in and of itself is not too bad, but when they get on ***** it gets strange. But then again, when Bro. ***** talks about *****,
Bro. ******* will question him which is always entertaining.
Lots of
Hope this helps.

Bro. *******

Absolutely not, not now, not ever. I would never belong to a "preacher-only" anything.

Just some thoughts rolling around in my brain.

I was thinking about the scripture - "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Matthew 6:12

I have two questions:

Do you think all sins are equal in God's eyes, except for blasphemy against the Holy Ghost?

Do you believe that if you have sinned, regardless of whether (past or present) it's lying, stealing, fornication, adultery, etc., etc., and that if you were to gossip about someone's sins that God won't forgive your sins according to Matthew 6:12?

I was also thinking about James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another,"

At what point in our lives does that verse become real and make us have such unity in the body that we could "confess our faults" and have not have them spoken about openly, gossiped about privately, etc.?

Thank you, sistah sanctimony.

Preachers forums thrive on ferreting out "rats" and holiness nonconformists but they will cover their buddies sins better than a dog buries his favorite bone.

You know, I read this and I cannot understand why some paint with such a broad brush. I am a member of three different "preacher only" forums, and (while I admit I am not in the inner circle of any group) I have never seen what you describe here. (the bolded)

What I have seen is men who have fallen (at least those that I have heard about) have been removed from the forums, and while no-one specifically calls out their name and castigates them publicly, I have never seen anyone liberal/con who excused the sin or tried to minimize the sinfulness of it.

I guess some people are not satisfied unless every name of every failed minister is openly named and publicly castigated......so much for charity. (And I am not suggesting covering sin as in allowing it for my friends, family etc)
