What would you do?

I can't believe that some are advocating going to law or using a gun.

Gal 6:1-2
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
KJV
This man was a minister in that church for several years. He has gotten progressively worse with his violence.

He has choked someone in the bathroom, beat up his brother in law (who is a brother in the Lord) at a car wash.

Keith had in front of him a plan of restoration for both him and his wife, but could not present it to him because he became violent.

He has threatened 3 other people on the phone, and in front of their home. He also has threatened to do bodily harm to these folks family members.

We have spoke to his family members and he feels backed in a corner and hard no choice but to fight his way out. His wife blames the former pastor for his behavior.

You can not help someone who thinks fighting their way out, and blame others for their actions.

I believe the scriptures say we are not to sue, we are not suing we are looking for protection.



Thank God my husband has enough brains to call the POLICE and protect his family and the church.

Mark 5:1-8
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.KJV

Interesting that you have more tolerance for a backslidden preacher who threatens violence than you have for trinitarians and liberals.

Shame on you.

That is sooooooooo untrue.

Unlike some that claim to love the lost and shut their mouth for fear or compromise, I dedicated my life to saving backsliders, trinitarians and liberals.

Re: Please pray!!!

OP,

Wonder how this worked out for the pastor in TX that lost a few members when the guy showed up in his church with a gun and killed them while they sat in church.

Surely, you aren't suggesting to do nothing.
