Thanks for the quote, Father Ted Over on the Fighting Fundamentalist Forums, "The Equalizer" is on the Berean Baptist forum, arguing that a pastor who has committed immorality cannnot be removed from office because everybody is a sinner. In spite of several Scripture passages that teach that the elders must be blameless and give strict standards of who can and cannot hold church office, The Equalizer (without expressly saying so) keeps defending the position that any man in church office can do as he likes. I was pulling up all kinds of verses to show that John the Baptist rejected the Pharisees from baptism because their repentance lacked any genuine evidence, that Paul warns that immoral men in church office are deceivers appointed to destruction, etc. Finally, as none of it worked, I just quoted Father Ted's famous (and hilarious) question to Dougal at him. |
