In Baptistland, they typically rationalize their faulty no-consequences forgiveness theology under the umbrella of "grace." Then they righteously pat themselves on the back for being more "Christian" than the "unforgiving" victims (and the victims' families). It's a pretty slick sort of "grace," if you ask me.Christa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560409585720043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-12270339777619738432009-12-30T16:13:53.398-06:002009-12-30T16:13:53.398-06:00My experience has been that most "youth leade...My experience has been that most "youth leaders" are nothing more than young men looking for a job to put themselves through school. There are very very few such "leaders" who have any training nor experience in dealing with the serious complex isues facing today's youth. Also, they ar hired to free the adults from the trouble of having to work with the youth of their church.<br />I was always amazed at how carelessly churches would hire these boys and willingly turn their precious young people over to them. <br />I even mt a "youth minister" who provided a magazine to his youth that had web-addresses that contained x-rated material. When I confronted both him andthe senior pastor about it I was tolded that "This is none of your concern since you are not a member here!"<br />In 34 years I never hired a "yout minister"and never saw the need for one. It is time to sop this foolish waste of church resurces and take the time to really work with the youth and provide experienced and serious leadership.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-50165167212757003882009-12-30T16:08:42.002-06:002009-12-30T16:08:42.002-06:00This has become the norm.

I think it is perhaps they see this blind forgiveness of the pervert as more Christian. <br /><br />when in fact, he disqualified himself from the Body until real repentance not to mention from ministry. Doesn't anyone read scripture anymore?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
