your choosing of calling your post, pastor bob,
reminded us of this happening....
many years ago, we made a very good friend through our work, and 'fast-forwarding' we
eventually ended-up in a home-BibleStudy with him and his pastor=bob - and several of the congregation....
the 'pastor' had a huge issue with me when I stated, that every SIN was breaking one of the Commandments...
he actually stood-up at the table and said that he was throwing a gauntlet down and challenging me to prove this...
well, our very close friend told his pastor that he was out of line for the violence that he challenged me with
and the study ended.....
later, some of his congregation asked us to come to a very lovely dinner of Phillipine cusisene=without their
pastor....
bottom line, it came out that the pastor had told our friend that he had to go into his savings in order to
become a 'deacon' in the church.....
we wonder how many times this has played-out in different churches??? it is a travesty!!!
