You little LAMB you :)

I guess you have the right to give your point of view just like the rest,

Peace !

Well, I may be wrong... but Christ is always right! :) Peace back atcha.

TOTALLY God rob. I hadn't watched your video till today, and you see the confirmation in my video yesterday. Right on.

[LiftAloft]

Awesome... I was certain that you saw my video, which prompted yours... :)

God is amazing... the message to me was loud and clear via a question: "What was the name of the person who Paul requested be excluded from the church in Corinth, 1 Cor 5?"

A man.

No names. No public, personal reproval. Those within the church knew the "man" very well, and it was unnecessary to mention the name.

Christians on YouTube need to find an in-person church community. Too many are doing it on their own.

WHAT Youtube is not a church?

two different issues here.

1) Was it smart for a son to call out his father for fornication to the whole world on YT?

Quite possibly not - i wasn't subbing either of them and I don't know the details.

2) More generally, should you publically call out a Pastor preaching on YT who is in fornication or preaching heresy or something?

Try a few PMs first, but if that doesn't work...

Absolutely.

YT isnt a church, its a public forum.

And that means the correction has to be public too.

What is this Bible and Jesus you speak of?

[aProdigalChild]

That He is...ALWAYS RIGHT ! Amen!

[LiftAloft]

Yup... I agree with both of you guys here... apparently, there were others who knew the situation, but who did nothing about it, either. It should have been left in their hands.

Left in the hands of the sons -- at the very least -- is the risk of a blatant violation of one of the ten commandments.

Serious business.

I tend to agree. i can't see myself ever doing that to my dad.

This is true. And he did set his standards high by making himself known as "Pastor" Jer.

Still don't like the way it was handled though.

His channel should have been taken down after they talked about it and then a less specific message should have been made letting people know that he was not at a time in his life where he should be preaching... I mean, I don't know what the best scenario would be but I have a gut feeling that what Jordan did was not it.

[4096x]

There is your doctrine and your walk - both need to be right.

Of course I'm sorry he has fallen into sin. however there is a criteria in the bible that "pastors" (aka elders) must be held to. fidelity in marriage is one of those criteria.

[scjason420]

True.

The only problem is I don't believe pj777 preached any heresy and if it weren't for jordan none of us would know that he was struggling with this issue of sin in his life off the camera.
