I think I may have mentioned in a past post his church , doesn't know about his lifestyle, only the people on the outside, like me .He hides it very well to those on the inside, and is successful in leading a double life.Besides, I've led a double life too, like I said before I really don't know about confronting him.

You don't have to confront him....
Here you have someone without the conviction, guidance, or infilling of the Holy Spirit teaching little four year olds.
Not only that, this person has a warped sense of morality, are admittedly godless...plus they have a spirit of perversion.
In good conscience can you keep quiet when theres more than a good chance these impressionable minds might be filled with something ungodly? These kids are at the age when their minds are being molded.
OR .. couldn't you anonymously in confidentiality meet with the pastor or whoever is in authority at that church and warn them or at least call them without using your name?
It's about those kids, not what you did or didn't do in your past.
Think about it. Thats all I have to say.

I really don't have anything to say re the thread topic. I would, however, like to say something to you, ITYNA. Several times you've alluded to your own particular sins and as to feeling somewhat hypocritical when it comes to perhaps advising others on moral issues. I'm sure that many of us Christians come from sinful backgrounds so you're certainly not alone. The good news is that God forgives even the worst of us. You need to be mindful of that and drop the burden of guilt that you still seem to be carrying.

Did you ever hear of John Newton? He was a British slave-trader. He bought and sold human beings for profit without a care in the world for what became of them. He was the epitome of 'the dispicable man'. However, he eventually gave his life to God. The story of his life is pretty well encapsulated in the words to Amazing Grace.


Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see


Not only can John Newton's life be encapsulated in that song, he was also the author of it!
 
First of all the pastor of this church should be called to the carpet. Because how could you let a non christian teach the Bible ? The pastor and other people in charge at this church, is in error, in grave error, and there is just no excuse for it. If I were a member of that church I would go to the pastor, and say what's up with that ? And this is one of those times, where you can make a judgement call, and judge that this pastor is dead wrong.

THE PASTOR DOESN'T KNOW! Like I said before he's living a double(and shall I say successfully, if a double life can be successful) life.Now I understand what everyone is saying, but this is still right what I'm aboutto do right,even if it's at the expense of my friends reputation in the church and his pride.

Well you could ask him to step down, explaining why, and using scripture for backup. And if he does not, you should blow the whistle on the dude, and let him know that you are. Because see you know he is leading a double life, so you are accountable, when it comes to the business of God, to make sure that it is carried out in a Christian manner, and in Spirit and in Truth. Now if this dude has any sense at all, he will understand. It is against the name of Christ, for him to be in there teaching those poor children, and he is not even a Christian. I wish I could talk to him. He would be out of there, right after our conversation.
 
Taht sound s like , a good and comforting idea. Thanx, i'm not worried as much anymore.
