I am just curious! We are finding out more and more (in the media) about fake ministers and divorce and abuse! What are your viewpoints on this subject? I'm just curious!

Eakins even before the Internet made it easier to be a minister. A few people would became ministers. It is not all that hard, to prove one knows the bible. When I was in school we spent more time on how to raise money than reading and studying the bible. A sad fact that in today's age even some churches are money driven. Thus we have a bunch of fakes.

Hate to say it but, by and large ministers are a form of local politician. Influencing many people along thier own ideologies into a very powerful political and financial constituency. It seems that the salvation of souls is quite often secondary.
Just a little odd thing to add.....I RARELY attend church now and only under duress...last time I went it had been so long I entered through the emergency exit setting off the fire alarm....(Yes everyone laughed)...it was an easter service....So the preacher finishes his story of Jesus' crufifixtion and how the lord died from a MASSIVE CORONARY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Me and my brother looked at each other like "When did they add that?" When it came time for the "This is the body/blood of Christ" routine...he expected the ENTIRE congregation to drink the grape juice from ONE cup!....I couldn't believe it! I have no idea where they scrounged that hack up from!

ROFLMAO...OMG Krup! No wonder you went running outta there! I would too!
For criminy sakes! That is just sooo wrong on sooo many levels,eh???
What a croc! Gives all the really good ones a bad name, ya know?
I don't DO church these days! No money to offer, sooo I just sit and
read my Bible and glean as much as I can at one time, then think about
things, and try to be a better person.
That's all most of us can do at any given time. JMO

I think you have the right idea Elf! No reason we cannot all understand the bible for ourselves...if it was that difficult ...they would make it into a colouring book!.....or have they?

mathew 7:15-20 tells you how to identify fake ministers ,any pastor that does not encourage you to read and study the word for yourself is fake,the word of god means exactly what it says.

does any one remember the wordless book?
I think it was sort of a coloring book of bible patriarcks and prophets...
telling the story of salvation.
Well before most of your time,
but it was definatly post Guttenburg.

The reason why I asked this is because I personally know too many of them, most of which are in my family, but I am dealing with one who is not a family member. In fact, I've only known him since July. I can NOT believe he is the way he is! He's gay (which I am not judging him for), loves to take advantage of women, and yet still calls himself a minister?! Sorry! But that's f*cked up! He tried going after me and when he noticed I took a stand against him and I found out all of this from some other women that have known him for a LONG time, he got pissed! And now all that his ass will do is cuss me out, and then turn around and say, "Let's see what the bible has to say about that!" He seriously makes me wanna hit him with his bible and knock him out!

That's the reason why I don't go to church much anymore even though my belief in God is still strong..... because once the minister is found to be fake, so is the congreagtion (usually)!
