An abuse of authority????

[acerrak]

I think all the pastor can do at this time is turn the other cheak and try to ignore the personal attack

since the christian has ingaged in unchristian like ways, and the situation has developed. I think it would be best for the pastor to take this situation, use scripture and reflect on the current situation.

expecialy were Jesus said they persecuted me they will persecute you for my name sake.
continue to point to scripture and do not make personal rebutles.
if he makes a personal rebutle it may give the so called christian another open door to step into.

i would also continue to generaly use the situation to teach others while not being directed at anyone specific but continue to uplift the saints, and show error in a general since.

People on the other hand will see what kind of attitude a pastor or a man of God should have, and so he should stand firm in his principles and not let the guy get under his skin. exspecially when people are looking at you intensly. both sinner and saint.

so dont crack under the accusations of the sinners and (full the fire "see we told ya so") and for the saints to see a man of God stand strong. ( this will also build up there faith when they see there spiritual leader under scutiny stand in Gods word)
