Malice Among Ministers In The Church: What Should Be Done? by LegallyBlunt(op): 10:17am On Jul 08, 2023
Good day everyone. For a couple of weeks now, there has been issues where I worship.

Mostly between the Pastor and his assistant (presently former assistant). They had a falling out, which escalated to a point where the assistant stopped his duties.

Now, I managed to ask questions about the issue and the Pastor gave his version. I also got to know about the assistant's version.

However, here's the issue - they're not in speaking terms! Isn't that malice? Isn't that dangerous, and a deviation from what Christians ought to do? Are they not in danger of hell and manipulation from the devil and agents of sin?

What's even more painful is that the church just continues like there's no issue on ground. It's sad, really.

From your story, see for your salvation sake quickly run. This are just people looking for what to eat not to serve God. Alot of people and disciples offended jesus christ but last last try to be a friend and asked for forgiveness for them. So what will your pastor preach on sunday? The bible says once u see them u know them.
Have left alot of churches because of nonsense things like this.i dont want to pray where it wount be answered.the bible says if have any issue with your fellow brother and you are about to pray,he said u should first make peace with that your brother so your prayer can answered.
Don't cage your life ooooo

Hmmm. Great submission. I've thought about this angle for weeks. Basically, what has kept me is the fact that some problems shouldn't take us out of the church. But I'm not comfortable at all.

malice actually means to have ill feelings and thoughts towards someone, evil intentions, the desire to harm the person

Therefore, it is possible to simply avoid and refuse to talk to a person without wishing him ill or harm, is this correct?

Church leaders do not real eyes that there are certain things that they can not do because they are Christians. But of course, when they are not, they are free.

yes na, but u must sha greet ur enemy, mustn't have a joyful or friendly conversation with them. Even sinners only greet their friends

OP- I can bet my July salary, their issue has to do with either Power, Money or Women in the church .. if you dig deeper you’ll understand..

In this age and era, it beats my imagination that people are yet to realize that church is an enterprise and religion as whole is a tool for control and dominance …

Did you make efforts to speak to them? What was their response?
Bringing the matter to NL, shows you are not a true Christian.

BTW, there is no perfect church anywhere. Even if you find one, immediately you join, it will become imperfect.

Brethren ask for permission from them both to have a one on one conversation, it's normal for humans to go astray, the most important thing is reconciliation & forgiveness & that's what your mission & objectives should be about. Goodluck

Didn't Christ tell you that 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God'? Your inability to bring peace among brethren, after they shared what transpired between them with you, is a testament to the fact that you're not effectively carrying out your Christian work.

Very simple, all the Minister should follow JESUS Example and relate with one another as JESUS did. Many claim to be Christians but they are not following JESUS.

Good morning and welcome to “church” politics.

Isn’t it amazing how two people keeping grudges on earth are under the illusion of making into heaven to hold hands together and sing kumbayah over there?

What a joke.
