But he was previously married and his ex wife is still alive and she did not cheat on him either. So therefore he had no right to divorce her and marry TB daughter. But the Church all went with it because TB said it was ok. I know her personally and I have talked with her on the phone. I went to church with her long before he married her. This marriage of this guy to TB daughter did upset a lot of people. But they got over it. He had no grounds for DIVORCE according to scripture. He just wanted to be in TB family. And so they started seeing each other. She is also family to the Music Minister TPC just fired.

Point being I don't think using kings of OT as a model for if a minister today should remain in position after adultery is wise. Both kings sinned one rejected and one remained so which do we go by?

This sounds really STUPID if anyone thinks he should be RESTORED to ministry. So he cheats with a WOMAN some think he should be RESTORED to ministry but i question those who think that, what if he cheated with a MAN? Or a MINOR of either Sex then what SAY YOU?



BTW to everyone that is going to QUESTION me being on some kind of CRUSADE against the UPCI , I am just now getting around to reading the post. I had to stop reading stuff after I posted a few things. So i am playing catch up and some of the post i feel like responding to. I see that many of you here are putting in 10's and 100's of comments throughout this whole ordeal. So today i am reading post from Day one and feeling like answering some of them. I have just as much of a right as anyone else here. My post are not spread out like everyone else, Because i am answering them now , today. SO WHAT?

But a LOT OF them INCLUDING T.B. are living like KINGS and their FAMILIES are living like kings.

Our Pastor brother will recover with the help of the Lord, and his wife will also be strengthened of the Lord. The church leaders has to be very watchful that wolves are detected, and not allowed in. "I will lift mine eyes to the hills; all of my help cometh from the Lord". PRAY!!! PRAY!!! TPC-PRAY!!! Embrace one another in Agape' love.

Ok you just said that the church leaders has to be very watchful that the wolves are detected and not allowed in. What did you mean by this exactly ? This happen to us in 1986 when this church was WUPC under N.P.U. The leaders let another WOLF in his name was T.B. I don't get it.

This is BERNIE MAYDOLF all over again. Wall Street Crooks dressed up as Pastors and Bishops pretending to be from GOD and that they speak for GOD.

TPC is strong, the people are strong and know what to do when the devil comes against us. We came together and sought the face of God. HE dealt with this situation.

So why are you able to get on here and read and then TALK ABOUT IT?????

Until this happens, it is most definitely NOT under the blood.

God did not deal with this situation. Someone with access to details previously hidden did. It would have never come to light otherwise and he would have continued in gross immorality for another 15 years, all while preaching about the evils of Charismatics.

Not to mention he would have been putting that $300k Salary each of those 15 more years in the bank put that in your calculator. WOW. This family knew what they were doing. They were all in the Money Jar together. It was a FACT that the church was UPSET when his daughter married a MAN who later became his ASST PASTOR , this guy was already married and divorced his wife with out cause. Just because he fell in love with TB daughter. I know her personally and she was crushed by this divorce. And TB married them. And told him to get a divorce from his current wife so he could marry his daughter. This family was in this DEEP This was way back to in like 2005 about the DIVORCE and REMARRY into the Black Family. They set this all up and good. They had a Business Plan and it worked until TB got caught. It makes me wonder WHY TOM TRIMBLE his own COUSIN LEFT TPC ........When he did and gave up his position as ASST PASTOR. This family was SUCKING $$$$$ out of this CHURCH like it was a LOTTO TICKET they had won and started buying up BMW'S and ESCALADES and giving Slaries to one of his young son who was not even WORKING AT THE CHURCH but was getting $100k Salary and the BMW. His wife got a Salary of $100,000. Each of his Kids and their Spouse also took $100,000- salaries. Imagine his daughter and Son in law were married one family that is $200k for their House Hold. They ROBBED THIS CHURCH like a THEIF ROBBING A BANK IN A HEIST. This church was HIT with a HEIST by a Master Thief. The Criminal always makes a mistake and leaves behind evidence that always gets them caught in the end.

Black will not come before the church and ask for forgiveness and admit that he did wrong. It has only been a week since he stepped down. I, as a member, hope that he does, to help the healing process. All those other things you are putting on here are hearsay. How do YOU think you know about them anyway? He has not publicly confessed, to my knowledge, so anything people are hearing, unless you are close to the original source that found the evidence, you wouldn't know. And if you are that close to the person, that person is Godly enough to not want you airing that information on a public forum. If "that person" wanted the world to know all the details, "that person" would have told everyone when the evidence was initially found. This issue was not taken lightly. The people that confronted Bro. Black did so prayerfully and in a wise way. If you knew these people, which you obviously don't know firsthand, they were letting God handle it. God knows all. He knew when this was going to come to light and orchestrated it being found and being dealt with. So saying that God didn't deal with this situation shows just how much you know about the Bible obviously. God would not have let him continue, He had His hand in this.

Answer this? Why did GOD being BLACK to this church in the FIRST PLACE after they just suffered this same thing with the 1st pastor? N.P.U. did this very thing and bro black was voted in to clean up the mess. Boy this shows how much you really know about the situation just because you go there, you must not have been there before TB was voted in or you would know this much. This isn't TPC 1st RODEO with a PASTOR that has went astray and committed adultery ....... I love how people get on here and tell others what they should be saying and not saying, why are you here reading and responding if you don't believe the people in here are doing right by Talking about this subject?

Again, people have bad experiences, and after those experiences they look at a group, and everyone who even resembles that group is blacklisted.

Getting old.




So that's where we've come to?

Jesus is reduced to being just a band-aid on a bleeding bullet wound?

Incapable of really converting, but only freshly masking Jason Voorhees.

Swell.

What you are saying is: THIS is a FORM OR RELIGIOUS PROFILING?
