Protecting Church Abusers

To state that one has a position in church does not necessarily mean they are men of God. The scriptures lay out a plan for dealing with the creeps..

19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. 20 Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning." (1 Timothy 5:19-20 NIV1984)
 
Abuse needs to be dealt with and the abused need to be cared for. There also needs to be a lot of wisdom exercised as to whether abuse has actually occurred or not. In the New Testament, the word for a false accuser is diabolos.

So, yes, those who have been abused need to be shown love and consideration and those who abuse need to be dealt with. But false accusations must not be allowed to stand, either.

Again, just because they are in the church does not mean they are APART of the church. It's time to separate the true from the false. ill say it again, men who molest boys and call themselves men of God are NOT men of God but are wolves in sheeps clothing. This is the Great Harlot. The great self programmed religion that dresses up in religion and rituals and chants prayers but does not obey the commandment to love others. This is the antichrist spirit because they deny the Father and the Son by denying the commandment of Christ: Love one another.
 
The counsel of scripture is very plain. When the leadership sins, they are to be rebuked publicly.

19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. 20 Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning." (1 Timothy 5:19-20 NIV1984)

Ok first of all, where do you get off to get the audacity to insinuate that these men who were sodomizing young boys are elders or so called men of God?

These men are nothing more than wolves in sheeps clothing. These child abusing men who are in a spiritual position of authority are nothing more than evil men with a religious antichrist spirit.

It's sad because of the corrupt doctrines of the Roman catholic church prevent priests from having wives and having sex and because of it they have sex with little boys and each other.

Those false doctrines are heretic. We need to look at the root of the problem and not at the men. The root is the false man made doctrines that have crept into the church. Let priests have wives instead of telling them they cant.


ToS 2.5 It is a violation to misquote or misrepresent another member.

The other member did no such thing...Scripture was posted on the Biblical way to deal with the creeps.

It is your responsibilty to read the ToS. Please do or read them again.
