Cause bible teaches so. Blameles, without reproach.

Sweetheart, my sins are not hidden behind a ministry. I am not one to sin and hold a position in ministry, and if I was a minister that fell into sin, I would step down.

Looney first of all we aren't all Libs

Second of all NOBODY said that pastors sins were not covered by grace. You are obfuscating the issue of WHY this upsets people, because he was in a position of authority and preaching against sin for 4 years while he was committing adultery

Now I will ask for the third time, if that is NOT why people get upset, what is the reason?

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns

Some of these churches are the first ones to kick someone off the platform for cutting their hair while having sex for 4 years with another woman

That bothers people.
