Mockers and shamers think the Bible is about perfection when it's about imperfection 100%.

I never met a single person in this world who wasn't a hypocrite.

Is there a reason we should feel bad about his inability to cope with his own hypocrisy?


It isn't necessarily hypocrisy. Pastors have a hard time. We sin like everyone else, and those who teach love and forgiveness know sin. Know it very well. Having been intimate with it in the past, or even currently. Just because one is qualified to teach something, and fully believes it, doesn't mean they have the self control to consistently live it. We try, we try our hardest, but living it every day is incredibly difficult.

Which in fact, leads to those who teach a truer version of Christ's message. Love. Grace. Forgiveness.

His son is one of my very good friends.

Gutted for his entire family. It's been a real painful 3 weeks but fortunately things are coming back to normal.

Everyone makes mistakes, just sucks that his ended up costing him his life. I feel for his wife and kids.

Is this the first case of 3rd degree murder due to a hack?

Very well said. I'm a former pastor and youth pastor. To think that pastors don't struggle with the same issues every other man struggles with is to deny reality.
We live in a world that is changing rapidly from one where virtues and family values were the norm, to where they are seen as perversions.

This.

It is very easy to judge someone when their sins are exposed, the OT does that very well.

You get a little age and life experience and you realize no one is perfect.

His hypocrisy seems to be his ability to extend forgiveness to others without being able to extend it to himself.
