[good samaritan]

I don't know personally anything about this pastor or church. If this pastor has done the things that he is accused of then he is simply reaping what he has sown. I don't agree with taking a bro. to law, but there is a uniqueness when a pastor has gotten so high that there is not anyone to pull his coat tail. If these accusations are true then nothing else may be done.

HH if I were you I would steer clear of this thread and do not allow bitterness to rule your life. I have seen some pastors who were as you described, but I stayed away. I pray for them. We speak of forgiveness, but that is easy to say when it isn't something that is affecting us. You will have to make the effort to bury the hatchet.

I am not saying that forgiveness and reconciliation are the same. I could never call this man a brother (based on your info.), but I would pray for his soul and hope that God would change him. These threads that just bash on people are not pleasing to God. All these threads started just to slander someone isn't apostolic. Paul did give warnings in his letters, but they were brief and to the point. We sometimes have to call something out, but then we must move on.
