"People with bad attitudes and bad motivations can say true things." We need to be listening, church. Look past the offense and see the person and the message.
Robert Morris' teaching on tithing is extremely abusive. Those who regularly operate by using people rather than serving them should be taken out of ministry regardless of scandals.
Which brings on a few questions..... With Morris, this happened 35 years ago, brought to light, supposedly stepped down, then restored. Unless I got bad intel. He's been vocal about an indiscretion he made 35 years ago. Did this incident disqualify him moving forward in this life?
Mark, my heart is broken for the whole body of Christ, but I tell you; why to dig skeletons, why this lady came out to talk about only now, after almost 40 years??? Most of us Christians have a past that we are not proud, some were murders, some fornicators, some homessexuals.. why we need to dig out what the LORD already has forgiven? If he was a non famous, not influencial, nothing would have happned, but beacsue he is... now this lady open her mouth. I was raped at the age of 13, he is still there in Brazil, he is now 75 years old, and serving God, am I gonna to send him to jail?
I am so sorry to hear this, Sueli. I believe to answer that question we need to ask, "is this person actually repentant? Did he confess his crime? Could he have other victims? Are people willing to follow this person if they really knew them?"
It helped me, Thanks for sharing.
Ezekiel 34! I've had the "Woe to the Shepherds" word since June 2022. Very much a now word.

Yes you're right he is disqualified from ministry!

He was not forthright about the fact that he m*l*sets a child for 4 1/2 years. No one knew that was what actually happened.
