Reminds me of the pastors of churches where they would rail and scream from the pulpit about how evil homosexuality is (often to the point the pastor became known for that specific thing in the community) and those engaging in that sin are going to hell and on and on. Of course the pastor is not wrong that it is a sin according to scripture and not wrong that people living in that perversion lifestyle do need redemption and salvation in Jesus which would also lead to repentance. But often these preachers were over the top angry, vitriolic, aggressive and over focused on that single issue in their presentation.
Fast forward a few months or years and the same pastor ends up being outed as engaging in homosexual relations. Often ruins the church, his marriage, screws up his kids, causes some to decide they hate Jesus because of what occurred as they do not separate Jesus from the pastor's hypocritical vitriolic preaching vs lifestyle.
Seems like the pedos are just as likely to follow the same pathology of behavior. Their supposed activism is their beard of sorts.
Amen. This is all too common. The congregants need to know and be reminded regularly that they need to follow the Bible, not pastors. Many pastors want to be followed. Consider how the apostle Paul spoke about following those not Jesus Christ.
