So bigger the sins the more a person should keep their position?

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?

I can't answer why God did not remove David from the throne but that still does not negate that God did not allow him to build the Temple.
David not building the temple had NOTHING to do with his adultery. It was because he had shed too much blood.

More inclined to think we should go by Paul's qualifications of a bishop and teachings about putting away a unrepentant brother.

Oh, NOW context is important? Are you going to continue to ignore the qualifications of a bishop?

It's a terrible comparison. David was king. Pastors are not kings. They are not even supposed to act like kings

David may not have built the temple, but it was his money and his blueprint Soloman used to construct the church.
Pastoring was never a job in the bible.

Pastors are not kings

Depends on who you ask. I was in a service where an assistant referred to the pastor and his wife as the king and queen of the church.
