An abuse of authority????

[deafdriscoll]

The leaders of the jewish church choose not to eat with the gentiles.
barnabas and peter also got caught up in this and when they were with other jews they too choose to only eat with jews.
Now, paul seeing this rebuked them in public not private.
If you do something in public everybody sees it. Close the sin down right away. If we claim to be a believer we have to live to a higher standard.
facebook is public, eveybody sees the display. The pastor is responsible for his people. If he feels that a sin needs to stop and it is effecting his people he needs to speak out against it.
When the Gov. banned the 10 commandments and school prayer the church did not fight it.
Then came abortion and gay marriage, we can not remain silent.
What are you afraid of, a few bad words? hot dog the Romans used to throw christians to the lions and crucify them. paul had his head cut off.
A few bad words and slander really is not going to hurt you.
