what do you mean by a lady combing his hair? The lady could be his sister or mother, so say exactly what you mean.

OLAADEGBU:

Sister or mother you said? Let me give you another scenario. You are a wife of a pastor in the same church as the one whose hair was being combed by a strange lady. You coincidentally bumped into a room where your husband is making out with a lady what excuse will you give for the holy-superman who will still go out and shake himself as before.

OLAADEGBU:

You have spoken well.

What would you say if you bump into your pastor's house and to your surprise you see him alone with a lady who is not his wife combing his hair, would you still say that the pastor is a superman that cannot be burnt and would he still be holy?

Joagbaje:

He is still holy . But the isssue of being burnt is a different thing. Sin of a Christian does not reduce his righteousness or holiness. The issue of sin is not with God, but between the Christian , his conscience, and the devil. There are repercussions of sin but it is not with God. But if you want us to talk abouit sin , We should open a new thread.

I dont know about crocodile tears, i know about asking for forgiveness and recieving it.

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Maybe you study from the bible what God did to David, Abraham, Samson etc. Sin is not just sexual sins o, what of pride, greed, unforgiveness, lying, lust etc. What of a pastor do not commit sexual sin but he is full of pride, God resist the proud you know. The saints are been perfected every day my brother. If God standards are not good enough why dont you open an investigative office that will kill any christain that sin and bomb every pastor that sin. Thank God man no be God o. A christian could look very holy in the eyes of men(virgin) but be full of hate and unforgiveness, malice and pride.

Jesus defines His purpose in one occassion; John 10:10  "The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy I am come that they might have life <zoe>, and that they might have it more abundantly <perissos>. (KJV) Jesus Christ defines His purpose ", that we might have life, " the greek word translated "life" here is the word "zoe" which is the God kind of life in quality. That explains why he said ", and have it more abundantly, " the greek- "perissos" which to a large extent imply a sense of superiority in terms of quality

Luke 8:14  And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life (bios), and bring no fruit to perfection.

Luk 12:22-23  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life (psuche), what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life (psuche) is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

Luk 12:15  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life (zoe) consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
