This one go long

Thank you for your perspective. Let me address your points directly and logically, without emotion.

First, you state that I missed the point totally and that this is about hatred for pastors. This is not about hatred it is about Accountability and cause and effect. The core argument is simple: when any institution (church or otherwise) publicly flaunts immense wealth in a society plagued by poverty and crime, it logically becomes perceived as a High Value Target. it's a basic principle of security and risk.

Second, you correctly say the church is not the government and pastors are not your president. This is not an either/or situation it is a both/and situation. We can, and must, demand that the government fulfills its primary duty to secure lives.(See biblical quotes for reference below )

Finally, you ask for the correlation between pastors and kidnapping. The correlation is economic incentive. If kidnappers believe an organization has vast, readily available funds (a perception reinforced by the public display of wealth by its leaders), they are more likely to target its members to extort those funds. The suffering falls on the poor members because they are the accessible targets, while the leadership is insulated by security.


Nathan to King David (2 Samuel 12:1-14): After David committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband killed, the prophet Nathan did not remain silent. He directly confronted the king, famously declaring, "You are the man!"


Elijah to King Ahab (1 Kings 18:16-18; 21:17-24): Elijah repeatedly confronted King Ahab for leading Israel into idolatry and for judicial murder. He did not say, "The king is the authority, so I must be quiet." He declared, "You have abandoned the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals."

John the Baptist to King Herod (Matthew 14:3-4): John publicly condemned Herod for his immoral marriage, saying, "It is not lawful for you to have her." For this, he was imprisoned and beheaded, demonstrating the cost of speaking truth to power.

Jeremiah 22:3: This is a direct word to the king: "This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow." This is a divine job description for a government, and the prophet was the one delivering the performance review.


This is not fake rhetoric. It is a critical analysis of how different sectors of our society contribute to a complex crisis. We are all entitled to our opinions, and mine is that solving our problems requires holding everyone, not just the government, to a standard of responsibility.
