| Is It Right To Criticise Men Of God by Lopezdee1: 11:53am On Aug 25, 2009 |
Recently I read a write up which was critical of a popular pastor in Nigeria, this generated a lot of heated debate within the forum as a lot of people feels Men of God should not be criticised even in whatever situation. In my opinion men of God are like any human being with their strength and weaknesses I therefore see no reason why they cannot be criticised especially when they've done something wrong, I need to point out that criticism should be done to encourage such men of God to be a better person(or pastor) and not trying to bring them down or tarnish their image. LET'S DISCUSS but lets keep it civil (even where we have to criticise) Note: This is an open forum that respect the right of individual opinion Any uncivil, derogatory or foul comment will be deleted No form of personal attack will be allowed (everyone's got right to their opinion) |

The question was "Is it Right to Criticise Men Of God" Problem is many pastors are Men Of Satan living like Pharisees belittling everyone else, while living a lucrative worldly lifestyle. |

Tonye-t: I have seen christian threads degenerated into forums for personal attack and name calling in the past. I do not think it's asking for too much if we ask posters to be civil. |

@Poster, Let me get this clear, do you mean if its biblical or not to "criticize" "men of God"? For me, if its biblical, it is right. If it's unbiblical, it is wrong. So which is it? Do mean from the biblical perspective, or generally/personally?? |

If I may ask what is the criteria for designating some one a Man of God,is it owning a private Jet or simply bearing the tags ,pastor, general overseer,priest or Bishop. Men you st Paul actually critized st Peter who was ordained long before him.Abi Paul was wrong |

chukwudi44: Does owning a private Jet disqualify someone from being a "man of God"? |
| Re: Is It Right To Criticise Men Of God by noetic2: 1:04pm On Aug 25, 2009 |
whether men of God or men of satan. . . . .no one is above critcism. Morover, why should anyone hide under the cloud of God, to commit crimes. It is permissible in all ramifications to criticise ANYONE. |

power corrupts and absolute power, corrupts absolutely. every human being is imperfect therefore there is a need for check and balance, there is a need for accountability that is why the philosophers say ' every man is a self interested being' |

Lets first define what it means to be a so-called "Man of god" The fact someone is a god to men thru popularity does not mean that, that person is really worshiping god. |
| Re: Is It Right To Criticise Men Of God by posakosa(m): 1:13pm On Aug 25, 2009 |

Man of gawd my foot  , who made self acclaimed or did they purchase it in the market?  |
| Re: Is It Right To Criticise Men Of God by PastorAIO: 2:52pm On Aug 25, 2009 |
What is the criteria for deciding who is a man of God and who isn't? We need that so that we can know who we can allow off scot free and with impunity for any act of evil, separate from those who we can nab. |

Is it good for a man of God to fleece the flocks ? By there jets we shall know them. |

banom: haha hey. . .they need something to fly all those souls to heaven with |

banom:u also forgot to add jeeps and expensive houses. noetic2:I couldn't have said it any better. Moreover this ppl are now 'Men of Men' not 'Men of god' and to make matters worse they collect Offerings and tithes forcefully in churches. |

Matthew 7:3,4 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou SAY TO THY BROTHER, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? The above is the most important question to ask before throwing stones. Anybody can throw stones. Very easy, no skill required. Many(not all) will do same or worse, if they were in similar positios of power, influence, wealth, anointing or gifts. BTW, many critics would not dare a frown if they got to the presence of this people. All they can afford is cheaptalk gossip, Say to thy brother, go and tell him/her instead of coming here to murmur |
