It is common in Christian circles to observe that whenever Pastors or other church leaders are rebuked or criticized openly for their errors, some members will rise up in their defence. They often use the Scripture, "Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm," to try to cover up the sins of their church leader. But are men of God above criticism?

Scripturally, no human, including men of God no matter how highly placed, is above criticism.
The higher one climbs spiritually, the more exposed they become to satanic attacks and this is the main reason these men of God should be made to be more accountable and transparent in the work that has been committed to them.

Moreover, men of God are also humans and are capable of making mistakes and also need correction from other Christians who may notice these mistakes that may not be apparent to them.
This is exactly what Paul did when Peter got hypocritical with the Jews as we see in the scripture quoted below.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 2:11-16 (ESV)

We see Paul rebuking Peter sharply for his hypocrisy not minding Peter's position in the church. He criticized Peter's pretentious disposition in the presence of everyone and we didn't see anyone defending Peter's sin or feeling bad that their leader was being criticized publicly.

The word of God says that open rebuke is better than secret love. Every true man of God would love correction and will not be defensive when corrected.
In the same way, true Christians will never feel the need to defend sin no matter who is involved.

My brother even Jesus and his disciples were criticised, any pastor wey no wan learn from hin mistakes just find better church because da kyn man of God go speak only from hin perspective and not from the word of God

minks:
..But are men of God above criticism?...

If thou doest well, ye shall be praised. If thou doth not do well, ye shall receive a blot.

That is The Law!

Lool

Apparently, flocks can’t criticize their shepherd.

Yes o! Don't forget the Elisha treatment where 42 lads abused him calling him baldhead. He cursed them in the name of God and bears came out and maul them.

They're untouchables. Is that not why una they worship them?

"But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law" - Romans 2:10-12

"But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." - Colossians 3:25

"The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." - Psalm 145:17

I agree with you

Don't let all those "Touch not my anointed" zombies come for you o.

Once you find yourself in a religion where your Pastor is above criticism, just know you are in a Cult. Period!

Really?

Fvck them all

They are hypocrites, all of 'em

No

So long he's ass is human, he's not invincible.

There are curses that are incurred from insulting men of God so watch your tongue.

Either start or double your own hustle to cure your jealously and whatever you do,

pray unceasing.

It depends. It's not so cool to criticize your spiritual leader directly or outrightly to avoid unecessary drama that could escalate and end up dragging you in the mud and that now makes the two of you. Rather, leave him to God to judge because he is God's elect and only God can judge his own elect.

All I'm saying is, avoid trouble by not dabbling into what is beyond you. Leave spiritual matters for the heavens. Also remember whenever a spiritual leader begins to exhibit questionable characters, it's the devil at work and he'll try to rope as many people who would let him into the mess of the whole shit. So be wise.

You wouldn't know who is actually operating under the authority of the devil. So be careful who you criticize.

However, the only category of people everyone should critize are those girls who have been fvcked and mounted by more than one man.
If you marry a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by other men, you can not have rest and peace in that marriage. No angel created in heaven or demon born in hell can save you from frustration because she will definitely fvck her ex the moment he shows up to her on Facebook or in the market and she will pin another man's child on you to suffer to train.


Do not use your hard-earned money to pay bride price, sponsor wedding ceremony and take care of in-laws just to have a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by other men with two eggs and indomie. Only a fool would do that. Are you the one Fool?

Finally, fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman and marry. Better to suffer to find a virgin woman and have a peaceful lasting home than to marry a woman who has given her best (virginity) to another man and suffer in your marriage. Be wise.
Marry a virgin woman. Only her deserves your love and devotion. She kept herself for you; she deserves to be kept.

Person wey fit collect beating if e loose guard...e come bi criticism bi the problem.



All of them claim that God speaks to them. No bi person wey dream dey narrate how e take use left hand shift Olumo Rock to another location? Who was there? Abeggi. After all, they pose go be gods of men more than men of God. Na money hustle.

The rate of people claiming that they were called today, it becomes suspicious as tho God needs more human army in different denominations. Different denominations preaching differently! Isn't this worse than the tower of Babel? Funnily enough, Mr A that claims he is called doesn't know Mr B...his co-called fellow. And even if he does, he'll likely believe he's a fake. Tithing and offering is the only mutual right they unanimously do without criticisms.

Religion is becoming bondage if one doesn't thread carefully.

If religion in anyway makes you worship a mere man, there's sth systematically wrong with you.

Flee free to criticize me.
It's allowed.

Never but it shud be done moderately and objectively

Christianity is technically a cult

Nobody is above criticism

They'll do anything and everything to instill fear in their followers. After they'll tell you there's a curse that comes with insulting a "man of god."
I swear to God, any god of man wey do anyhow 4 where I dey go see anyhow. Enough of their nonsense! If no be the way the country take dey normally, who will they be brainwashing with their "prosperity" talks?

Test every spirit, hold on to d one dats true

No.

Why calling some individual men of God when Jesus himself denounce it when somebody called him man of God.

If it is Islamic something now, you will make us all to sign and agree that we are Muslims or not. But see Christianity topic, nothing much imposed.

They aren't and a good number of them are narcissists, who "called" themselves.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Daddy Freeze is their husband

You are quoting the scripture out of context.

No man or woman of God is above criticism.
Read Ezekiel.
