And Another One Bite's The Dust

 Came across this comment on one of the other sites that I check out in the morning. I changed the names for obvious reasons...

From Freddy Monkeyhead,

"I have not been to this site in quite sometime (If anyone doubts that , I’m sure Tommy Bird can verify that, right Tommy Bird?) 

I’d just like to ask a simple question. When, oh when will the sin sniffing and salivating over someones “moral failure”come to an end? I know for sure that I would’t want my own, and hypocrisy exposed for the whole world to see. And neither would you Tommy.

 Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. I’m a wretched sinful person. And so are you. I don’t give a rip if you allow this past the moderation phase or not!

 I’m just sick to death of Christians jumping all over each other when they’ve fallen. Tommy Bird, my cell phone is (Blanked) if You have anything you’d like to say to me. And I’ll be glad to talk with you via Skype, FaceTime, or in person about my comments if we ever happen to be close enough to each other.

 I’m just sick of it….Stop already, close this piece of garbage sight down and stop digging up peoples sin, and causing division in the body."


Tommy Bird's reply,

"You’re entitled to your opinion.
I didn’t dig anyones sin up, nor am I rejoicing over it.
If you don’t like the site, then you have a working mouse that will whisk you away in a click.
I edited your cell #…that was a silly thing to post."

All of this was on a Christian blog, it was over the reporting of another Christian leader who committed adultery and admitted to the use of porn.

It would not have hit the press so to speak if he were not the pastor of a mega church. And if it had not affected thousands of Christians who trusted and respected the man. The man's teachings were disseminated across the land through the usual media, reaching out to many. You can imagine how many lives are now impacted by his moral failure.

 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
James 3:1

When a man decides to teach and is elevated over a large congregation it behooves him to expose himself to accountability. All men in Christ will have sinful thoughts and sinful urges come against him constantly by the enemy of our souls. No one is exempt just because they are the head of a large mega church.

If there is no accountability and the man who is a Christian teacher falls he will face greater judgement and condemnation. The Word of God says so. 

And so it is...and so it shall be.
