Re: Charismatic Bishop In Lawsuit.

I'm completely dumbfounded. People coming on here saying this type of stuff is more common than anyone wants to admit, and some saying they have known of folks (of any color) engaging in this type of stuff.

Wow. I'm amazed. Why would ANYONE [man] want to fool around with alot of little boys/teenage boys? Especially if your making millions?

I don't have ANY respect to sexual sin, but I can personally understand how a man could mess up and have an illegitimate relationship with another woman/women, ala Tiger Woods. I don't condone it, and it is sin which be judged. But personally I'm just saying I don't think it an amazing thing that a man whether in weakness or just on an ego trip finds someone realtivly close to their own age and of the opposite sex and gets themselves in trouble.

But to go and 1)pay for relations 2)and that with a male or male prostitute and 3)underage or even children

My. There is enough "mess" in Christianity, if it wasn't for the Lord, and a relationship with Him, I personally would throw in the towel and give up religion.

Between the legalists, the prosperity preachers, the outspoken moralists who are then exposed in gross sin, and the hateful attitudes of so many self righteous folks who ARE NOT filled with the love of God, I can COMPLETELY understand/empathize with those who outright reject Christianity.

Those things said, if we reject the sacrifice of Christ, based on the actions of others, we do so to our own peril, for we are ultimately responsible for the decisions we make, not the decisions of others.
