I was in a back and forth with some supporters of another well-known abusive megachurch leader recently, and one of the fans of the leader assumed I was posting under a made-up name and then slammed me for my cowardice as being anonymous. MacDonald gave Mark Driscoll $50,000? Wow. Ken F (aka Tweed): Vincent is a coward: came to an old thread less likely to be read and didnt stick around to answer for his comment. I can only imagine what was said as explanation, particularly as my spouse (still blindly loyal) remained much longer than I, until our children put up a united appeal to leave. It could very well be that Christianity is at the tipping point where believers realize that they are doing church without God where they have put their faith in religious systems of assorted belief and practice, rather than building a personal relationship with Christ. I am not on Twitter myself, but I have been following others, like you. The apostles counted that an honor. He and James wanted newer, better buildings now, not when the flock could afford them.

Directed by Dallas Jenkins (The Resurrection of Gavin Stone) and distributed by VidAngel Studios, The Chosen has grown to become the largest crowdfunded TV series of all time. If only we would listen to what Lewis was saying, we might avoid these bullies going way back who latch onto Christianity because of all the naive fools who are suckers for the Gantry/MacDonald Schick. humans decide who gets to be an apostle, the process of which is surely not unbiased. I judge not those who remain I truly understand the depth of the manipulation but hope they do not fall victim to the crisis of faith and to the abyss that often follows when all youve built your faith on falls to ashes. Dallas Jenkins: There have been many people demanding our statements be made public, and now that they are, are rejoicing in that, 1 Corinthians 13:6 Noevangelical: Both HBC & WC had a plurality of elders and a single pastor as the head of their church.

They engineered the black funds and the worst of the financial abuse. Why, dontcha know God inspired Paul to speak his thoughts, and me your trusted pastor to interpret them rightly? You dont even need a Pastor/Dictator at the peak for things to go sour. At this point however the narrative cannot be controlled by people because God Almighty is acting now.

I certainly have my doubts that Paul would be rejoicing over the likes of MacDonald, Hybels, Driscoll, and countless others who have taken advantage of the Body of Christ over the last 2,000 years. For one of his theatrical performances at HBC shortly before his demise, JMac posed as a homeless man to make a sermon point I suppose he was so relevant, you know. I am willing to bet that MacDonald has been on the horn with Driscoll to see how he transitioned to Scottsdale after Mars Hill imploded. , I would disagree.

We have seen that the octopus has many arms, from mega-churches to major christian publications to all of the organizations that feed the monster. Why in the world hed take this approach and evidently consider it courageous or fitting is completely beyond me. TS00: I find it very comforting to know that Jesus entered into a world that was very similar to what we now face: Religion had become a caricature of what God desired, and Jesus gently called people to follow him, rather than fear men. Forgive MacDonald if he genuinely repents? Vincent: you must have first hand knowledge and part of that fellowship in some fashion. That clearly does not describe James MacDonald and HBC elders who are coming forth one at a time to confess their roles in the great deception in Chicago.

Driscoll was stopped Hybels was stopped MacDonald was stopped. Law Prof: the posting of it on this website is unfortunate, as are many of the false rumors in the comments. Thats all it takes, my friend. Its time for all these leaders to stop whining as if they were the victims and demonstrate a genuine show of sackcloth and ashes before the masses they deceived the real victims who must now live with being tithe-paying participants in this scam against Holy God. There are other places for the truly repentant to serve in the church. others have encountered the bright, blinding light (minus the horse, not on the road to Damascus) and heard a voice self-identified as Jesus (including a few people i know). If leaders and led live like this, the details of polity scarcely matter. Gone on any safaris or gambling junkets with MacDonald & your dad? They existed to serve him as *yes* men and in that respect, they are quite accomplished. Or are we to believe he just held back on refuting all this defamation out of a righteous desire to turn the other cheek? I dont think one can derive that theory from that word showing up once in the entire NT in Peg 4, 4th in a list. Where in scripture does God say that elders have authority over those they care for, or that elders should rule over them? i understand the losses you describe, and experience them, too. Yup, there are plenty of great sources of community *outside* of the church. For some, that would be a great option. The elders in one church have no say over those in another. Even during Christs life the disciples were weighing out who was most important and who would take the position above all the others. Because (my opinion) in many brands of evangelical protestantism, Paul is the absolute gold standard for all things Christian. Gee, how much money are they making on this deal? not violent This will always happen, there is no way to avoid it. Like livestock for slaughter so Pastor can eat mutton until he bursts like Mr Creosote. AND PREACHER-MAN INFLICTED THAT ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS? The office of an elder is not to be taken lightly. Dont ever feel like your input here is ever wasted. How would church members do what you recommend? A person who thinks they are qualified, is someone who may need to take some time to discern whether thats true.

The Didache and letters of Ignatius and Clement confirm this, as well as other writings from the early second century. ), Law Prof: If we just got back to that model, the one the early church leaders generally followed . Sunday services, weekly small groups, other events all give meaning to peoples lonely lives, and the rest is mostly fluff. Now if some pastor or group of elders is abusing people, then gloves off. The Didache and letters of Ignatius and Clement confirm this, as well as other writings from the early second century. In the meantime, I dont rejoice over unworthy vessels carrying the precious Gospel of Christ. A friend became nearly apoplectic when I tried to explain this. I believe he also was something of an unwitting prophet, possibly used by the Lord Himself, to reflect a mirror back at U.S. Christendom. not given to wine wolves among the sheep, earning their money, Only a public attack and a loss of financial success would drive change at Harvest., Thank you, Fisher, for the encouragement.

That said, the bishops, priests, and deacons are supposed to be models of humility and servanthood. Shes gone out of her way to state otherwise.

We believe that disciples of Jesus profess that He is Lord, practice His Ways, and persevere in both their profession and practice. We should not be surprised that the battle between the false and the true rages on, and should continue to cling to the true, whatever the cost. (Not questioning its authenticity, just want to be clear on the context), What MacDonald has done must be documented, not only for the education of his next set of *followers* but for posterity. (Dee). Restore him to ministry? Unfortunate, but true. Whatever ministry is going on at Harvest, is going on as a cult. I believe that if I hadnt been a strong donor, I would not have been considered and wouldnt have vaulted through Harvest leadership over more deserving peers. yup, great biblical example here!
