Preachers and the SBC

I stumbled on this site the other night and have debated if this was politics or religion . . anyway I picked this one

Good or bad? http://stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm

What struck me in this

Now yes - you can be forgiven for your sins is one of the basic tenets (he still should burn in hell IMO) - But would you really want to allowed a convicted child sex offender to preach ?

 

didn't read the links, but it's not up to us to judge ANYone. people can change

 

Bad, most def bad. Convicted child predators, preaching/counseling/advising etc.? Hell no. Loved this comment from the one peverted sicko.

*edit* Am I judging? Yes. Do I care? No, not in this case.

 

Wow, just wow. Sure, you're not supposed to judge others, but you're not supposed to be a complete moron either. i said moron, not mormon.

 

I would answer yes, if not for this quote:

If he was repentant and had confessed, then no -- I wouldn't have a problem allowing him to preach. That being said, there's no way I would put him in a position to be around women of any age by himself. If temptation is a problem, it needs to be minimized to the greatest extent possible, and he would need to be subject to the greatest accountability available.

 

Pedophiles can't change. It would be like a heterosexual trying to become a homosexual, or vice versa. Why isn't it up to us to judge him? I don't want a pedophile near my children. I don't feel bad about that at all.

 

in the words of the infamous Christian bracelets...what would jesus do? to be Christian is to be Christ-like

 

Forgiving someone and allowing them to work with children again are two very different things.

 

Yeah, just because you forgive someone doesn't mean you have to trust them.

 

I couldn't agree more.
