It is very interesting times we are going, and with the power of social medias everybody today have a platform to put things out there and have people following him or her, especial today with the populism and extremism are very up and with a lot of followers.
I am going to put my opinion on the debate of when a Christian leader fall short in the moral ethic set by the Bible and it bring the Christian family divide in two, because there is those who support the leader and those who go against the leader, this is my opinion today as leader myself at Christian family I will like to put some opinion in this matter.
I call it patronize why I call it patronize, it is because when I watch the movie, I mean secular movie or tv drama, you will see this scene when the person cheat on his wife or the husband when he or she been caught, you will hear this sentence almost all the movie have them, No honey she or he mean nothing to me, it was a mistake, please you are the most person of my life, but the question is you did cheat and you waited until you been caught to come to say all this sweet words, this is what I call patronizing someone with the motivation word which is what you want someone to hear but inside you , practically it mean nothing and you have no remorse at all.
That is what the secular world does and they will go like that until all the excuses are run out of them, but the Christians world, is different they have this way of patronizing the situation also,when a Christian leader fall short Bible ethics, you will hear this from the Christians family ; do not touch the anointed man of God, or this one I am also a human being, or this one the one who have not sin must cast first the stoned, the motivation words goes on and on.
When you study very well both excuses, you will arrived to this conclusion that both sides they just copy each others and are using the method that is used in their circle, but the problem is not solved at all, and contrary it make the situation worse.
Let see how the Bible solve situation like this, because nothing happen to us is new, let see King David situation with Bathsheba[ THE STORY IS ON 2 SAMUEL 12] when prophet Nathan was sent to King David by God , King David reaction was not of defending himself, especially when the parable was explain to him that he was the culprit, what he did was he took the matter to God and He repent with clean heart and He show remorse, no way I saw in the Bible King David did said to prophet Nathan that He is a man according to God heart, but He went to God and seek forgiveness of his sin and the Lord did restore him and he did pay his sin consequence, when you read the book of Samuel you will understand it, actually God was going to kill him but his repentance was a TRUE repentance not a leap service.
Let see the story in the book of John chapter 8 on the adultery woman, the Jewish mob were ready to stone her to death but they brought her to Jesus and my God they thought Jesus was going to accept their method, but Jesus said to them the one without sin must cast first the stone and none of them did, this is not mean JESUS was accepting the sin or saying let us sin but Jesus telling them about restoration and forgiveness, the most important things is the word Jesus utter to the women, by saying go and sin not, that is very important for us to note and carry it in our heart, go and sin not, Jesus is teaching us that after our sin is made public and when we repent about our sin in private, it mean we must not commit it again, both from this woman and King David, I do not see in the Bible where they went sin again the same sin.
in conclusion saying to people you are also a human being then you are able to do such act but let me tell you this before you commit that act as far we know you were still a human being, also saying you are anointed man of God therefore people must not touch you but as far as we know, you are still a man of God before you commit the act, the best things to do is to go to God and humble yourself and have remorse about your sin and ask God to forgive and give you power over the sin because without God power and Holy Spirit we will not win over sin, the Bible said do not let sin dominion over you.
