@ pastor M
- God does speak to his pple thro his agents (clergy)- remember God is not contradictory!. Herein lies the problem, the clergy never speak the same voice; I Am particulary skeptical (and not maliciously) of pastors.
- The ministry is a calling - not a business venture for profit motive!. I have no problem at all for a man of cloth living a modest life... but I do have a problem when they live lavishly at the expense of the faithfuls - why can't they use the extra coin to pull out the masses from poverty (To this end I have alot of respect for the catholic church although Am not catholic).
- While I agree that there are Pastors with a noble motive of delivering souls to God; you have also got to agree that the most visible ones also happen to be the "rotten apples" (no malice intended). The have set all the bad precedents; fake exosisms, soiling hands in politics, blatant greed for wealth etc etc.. what are the good pastors doing?
