I’ve always wondered, why are there those who slam other preachers so outrightly? Even preachers who do so of other preachers in front of their whole congregation?
It’s all over Youtube! While it’s insightful for myself to hear the different takes on certain issues, it makes me wonder whether this is a right thing for churches to do to each other…
Sometimes when i hear of one (preacher, for example) slamming another for something that the latter said that was ‘wrong’ or grey, he then makes everybody believe that the preacher’s whole theology is wrong.. Condemns him, and the church… Won’t that confuse the people belonging to the latter’s church? how stumbling! Many times, the slamming comments you hear are like personal attacks.. I don’t know..
SOmetimes it seems like there’s nothing inherently wrong with what that person is preaching, in fact, I’d probably find someone within our own community, even a leader, saying such things, and there’s nothing morally wrong with that, in fact, it makes a whole lot of sense!
For example, if I were to say to someone discouraged, ‘you need to have faith in yourself ‘ as opposed to this mega church pastor saying those exact words.. I’m certain that someone… somehow will get it taped and start slamming him, saying ‘helllo? his theology is wrong! what faith in yourself! faith in Jesus is what we must have!’ And the next day, we’ll see on youtube, this poor preacher being quoted out of context, and this other guy trying to prove him wrong with as many bible verses as possible!… Ok this is extreme example.. but know what i mean?
Hai… it’s so frustrating! I could well be guilty of that!
This happens a lot especially in mega churches.. sadly… also, more likely than not, these are the preachers who stronger in their opinions and words… they dare to speak.. hmmm i don’t know man..
We do not worship the bible, we worship God.
Each has his own strengths, his own weaknesses man… Unless we are Jesus! Well, we should strive to be like Jesus though! Ultimately who are we to do all these slamming! God’ll be the ultimate judge!
Romans 14 puts it well.
I struggle, do you?
