Would You Ever Challenge Your Pastor?
Assume you are listening to your pastor preach, and then suddenly he makes a statement that you believe is contrary to the actual meaning of scripture (though he uses scripture to justify his position and you have scripture to justify the position you have, which is completely opposite of his/hers). You may be just as well informed of a position in which your pastor is taking a completely opposite stand on, but you feel he is in error.
1. Do you politely schedule a meeting with the pastor and discuss the disagreement over the teaching and try to come to a mutual understanding without trying to convert one another to each others' position?
2. Do you ignore it, and let it go, and pray that God would correct him/her assuming you yourself are not the one truly in error?
3. Do you leave the church without any explanation, because you can't believe that someone would be so ignorant as to make non-biblical remarks from the pulpit?
4. Or option #4 (fill in the blank how you would hand it if the aforementioned options are not feasible to you)
