Does A Pastor Have The Right

[RustyAngeL]

My answer is no too. I would leave as fast I could. Just doesn't sound right to me.

one of my co-workers is a pastor and he just resigned his church because the elders and the church secetary refused to show him the bank acounts. they told him that he was there just to preach and it was their jobs to run the church business.the secetary keeps the books at her house not the church(the church might get broken into she says)the deacons in this church has been giving him a hard time for about a year,telling him what to preach and such,he refused.when he pointed out error in the church they pretty must told him either he abide by what they said to leave,so he did........

I say GOOD FOR HIM!

He needed to resign.

These people must have forgotten that GOD is head of the church; not the deacons, elders, or secretary.

good job for the pastor.....

he should teach what the Lord leads..... not what the deacons tell him to preach.....

this one sounds much like a cult....

either my way or the high way.... and my way is best...... Gods way dont matter.... cultic

we are suppose to run the church fellowships iaw the Word of God...... not by what a deacons says....

Tell your friend if she's ever in Denver she can feel free to come fellowship with my church. My church is full of the people who have been forgotten, cast aside and ignored. It makes for a big congregation that understands and extends grace fairly easily.

A pastor should never feel he or she has the right to tell his or her congregation who they can speak with.

A friend of mine just sent me a very disturbing email.

She has been faithfully paying tithes and giving offering to her church for years.

She has also been very supportive of, dedicated to and involved with many ministries of this church.

Some questions concerning the church's financial records came up.

She said she prayed about her decision to inquire and found the peace of God to do it, so she inquired.

She told her Pastor that the money God gave her to be a good steward over was part of the church's financial records,

but she was denied access to see where the church's money was being spent.

She disagreed and was told that since she felt that way she should just leave the church.

Then, the Pastor told the elders and some of the leaders in the church not to even communicate with her.

These are people she's been friends with for years!

I've always held the belief that God and I choose my friends; not man.

Does a Pastor have the right to tell you who you can and cannot communicate with?

seems to me that the way the pastor handled himself says he has something to hide. hmmm
