You have a point. But where are the Scriptures?


Do u still even need scriptures for this? No vex sir, use ur own brain. If ur instinct can't tell u these are wrong to the core, another pastor will come and quote any bible passage for u and interpret it anyway he likes, since that's wat u want- just to see a Bible quote

Don't be ignorant.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The emphasize the teachings of the Scriptures above common sense.

As for your tirade against pastors,

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.


There are genuine pastors who expound the Scriptures well. That's why you should go to church where Scriptures are taught rather than the gibberish of common sense that can be countered.
If you go by common sense or "your brain" as you put it, how do you know if Jesus died and resurrected? Does your brain tell you?
Apparently not. The SCRIPTURES do.


Teach the Scriptures. Not "your brain".

If u don't have a brain of your own, how can u even comprehend? Look at the world today, 99% of pastors are fake. Mathew 7 : 15, 16, by their fruit, you shall know them. Have u ever thought it to yourself why many are still enslave with false doctrines? Go to churches today, everything the pastor says is AMEN, spend 4 hours in service only 1 Bible verse read, the rest is dancing like it's a club house. 2 Timothy 4: 3, 4, false teachings. In all things, always keep ur senses (1 Timothy 5: 6.
You know what separates the dark ages from this era? Civilization. It's easy to be brainwash if u don't use ur senses. How else do u explain people flocking to a pastor that is defining dem and tell dem he saw it in Vision? Or should i remind u pastor King that his followers are worshipping instead of God? The Bible is light, to help us see better

water down the gospel, so true. our pastors should be careful of what they preach. I find it funny when churches now invite comedians to entertain people all in d name of getting members?. End time is here upon us brothers n sisters

A pastor who isn't living uprightly will want to cover up his own sins by watering down the Gospel.

ADEWUMIMichael:
There are indeed many dangers for last-day ministers. Whether you are an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher, there are temptations and pitfalls at every turn. There are fiery darts coming your way. It can be difficult to know whom to trust. But that doesn’t mean you need to get stupid.



So if you are a minister, or if you aspire to be one, please decide now not to do the 10 stupid things Lee mentioned. And for good measure, please decide now not to do the 10 more stupid things I’ve outlined below that, unfortunately, have also become common in our movement during the past decade.


1. Abuse the sheep.

Always remember that church staff—and church volunteers—are serving God, not you. Spiritual abuse is a dirty little secret in the charismatic church that is seldom exposed because it would topple small and large man-made empires alike.
If you aren’t willing to be the servant of all—if you think the sheep are there to serve you—please hang up your ministry aspirations before you hurt someone. We don’t need more spiritual abusers in the pulpit.



2. Water down the gospel.

If you aren’t going to preach the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth—so help you God!—please don’t preach. Although there are many effective preaching styles, if you aren’t bold enough to preach the whole gospel—even the parts people don’t want to hear—then pray for boldness until you are.




3. Refuse to release people into ministry.

God’s people don’t belong to you. You aren’t the one who called them, Jesus did. You aren’t the one who anointed them, the Holy Spirit did. If you feel threatened at the notion of your worship leader moving on—or your members attending a conference at another local church—your insecurities are perverting your leadership. Equip people for the work of the ministry and then let them fulfill their calling no matter where God leads them without cursing them on their way out the door.




4. Focus on gimmicks and programs rather than people.

Seeker-friendly churches bring in bubble machines to attract the kids and A-to-Z programs to attract the adults. When the focus is on glitz, glare, glamour and gimmicks rather than meeting the true needs of people in the community, church can quickly become more like a Christian Club Med (or even a circus) than an expression of the kingdom of God. And that’s just dumb.
