If the pastor is a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible, you can correct him. "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy". James 3:17. He will see it as trying to help him, yourself and the church.

If he is a businessman in charge of his investment, he won't take it kindly.

www.thetruechristianfaith.com has helpful materials and articles on how you can know who is serving the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible and who is a servant of the other master.

I was invited to a church close to my hood and while I was less busy, I decided to attend service this Sunday morning. After the first part of the activities ( praise, worship and prayer) The pastor mounted the pulpit to minister.

He began with introducing the topic to be preached on an started his sermon. After the service, I met him to ask a few questions about what he preached that I wasn't comfortable about and coupled with the fact that he sounded unsure of some bible verses he quoted.

He said he is busy at the moment and directed me to the junior pastor to be attended to, while he was visibly not doing anything. May be he can't stand to be corrected by members . Nobody is infallible. we all make mistakes. I can attribute his flaws to lack of preparation prior to today.

My Question: Have you been able to correct a pastor before and what was his/her reaction?

if u haven't, what made you not do so?
But you have no proof that he wasn't busy. After services on Sundays, a lot of people do awaits Pastors for counseling.

BTW, correction should be done in love and the manners of approach matters

What people fail to understand is, pastor are humans too. They are capable of making mistakes
What mistake?....preaching something that is not right?...or mistake of not making time to listen to OP?
@Op.... the guy probably dived in the Bible earlier today and preached on whatever verses he happened to see. Why would he entertain questions or discussion on matter he knows very little about?.... con men are not stupid.

It's simple. That pastor tried to dodge the question by directing you to the assistant pastor but it boils down to the person in charge and the way you put it to him.
I have encountered some pastors and we discuss what they preach that we argue maturely without quarrel. So I suspect you were just blunt without applying wisdom.

The entire church spectacle is a fraud.

The reason people go to church is to see and be seen and to pay the pastor for being the master of ceremonies. They do not go with the intent of using their idle brains.

That is why church business is so profitable. You stand before hundreds of people, talk garbage and then pass the collection plate around three or four times and no one will challenge you because it's all a part of the charade.

What kinda questions did you ask him

While preaching, he said all human beings have a ministering angel and that angel can be male or Female. He said the angels does anything he/she sees us doing with us.

Even if u are in the toilet, the angel also is defecating too. The angel eats, play etc.

I just tire.

And did I say otherwise. I know that, now go and look for someone else that's not of your opinion to argue with. Obviously that's what you are looking for

No. I havent. Reason being that most pastors have these superiority complex and are condescending

If a responsible person sees a question is intended to whine. Hell answer logically at first though. Based on whar the op said. The pastor dodged the question

My brother....hope you follow the scriptural ordinance in your manner of passing corrections to the man of God. You need to take a look at what the scripture says as regards correcting an elder in the book of 1 Timothy 5: 1 - " Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brothers" GOD BLESS US

Re: Why Can't I Correct A Pastor? by Mcy56(f): 9:06am On Jul 10, 2017
There's nothing wrong in correcting a Pastor but the manner of approach, timing and mindset is very important in going about this so it doesnt look as if you are playing down on their knowledge and maybe deliberately trying to see flaws. I do not dispute the fact that some may be too arrogant to accept correction.

I've corrected my Pastor before through text messages, I did this in order to be able to hit the nail on the head and in order to avoid agreeing to whatever explanation he might have which might be contrary to what I believe and I'm sure the verse is saying if asked in person. Either he takes it or not (or study deeper to understand the true meaning of the verse) is of less concern to me after that, at least I already passed the message across to him.
