It is obvious that God was nowhere in this conversation. The holy Spirit was nowhere around. That’s the first wrong move. Then they locked the doors. If he is wrong in his actions the presiding elder should have corrected it. The members should’nt be laying hands on him in that manner. The trustees should be handling the monies. How did the media know what was going on in the church? There must have been a Judas, leading the media to the church, minus the 30 pieces of silver. Every church has them the spirits of Judas,Jezebel, Athaliah, and Delilah causing division and strife among the brethern. Thats why we are to pray without ceasing, to keep at bay the tricks and schemes of the devil. Love would have prevented this, but it didnt because it was not employed. But be of good cheer, because eventhough this event took place it will stop nothing. Jesus overcame the world and defeated satan on every hand. This will not stop the cause of Christ and God will get the glory even from this. Satan has lost the battle and the war.
We just need to have the courage to expose satan in our ranks and drive him out so that these things arent found amongst us.

What is happening to today’s churches? Married pastors having affairs with half the congregation. Catholic priests going with little boys.

What I see here is not a failure to communicate but THE MOST SINCERE form of communication between two people, expressing their deepest feelings to each other. Its almost refreshing. Nothing clarifies and uplifts (literally) quite like a brisk slap. If the pastor did not know how she felt, he certainly does now.

This is also what happens when men become nothing but hirlings in the church. He reports to higher ups like his Bishop not the people. Jesus answered up to God..Jesus did not answere down…and that is the same…people in authority do not answer down. That woman was totally out of line. They do not respect the position that was given to him..prayer would of been nice…

I agree with the Queen, not man of God would hit a woman, no matter if she did hit him first. Remember the beatitudes blessed the merciful, blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are pure at heart, if you don’t know check it out in matthew chapter five. The book of Phillipians chapter four verse eight tells what to think on. The book of proverbs reminds us that there is no counsel, or wisdom against God. Now this is not scripture, but to the shepherd that leads his flock down the wrong path woe is he. That man can’t tell me nothing at all because he has already perverted the gospel of christ. The word christian means to be Christlike

now that is wrong in so many ways. The pastor should set the example. Any man that hits on women can’t tell me nothing at all! What about the beatitudes belssed are the merciful, and blessed are the meek, and blessed are the peacemakers, and blessed are the pure at heart! And then don’t forget about Phillipians chapter 4 verse 8. Also in proverbs chapter there is a verse that says keep my commandments and live. To the shepherd that leads his sheep down the wrong path woe is he. Now that is not scripture but the bottom is the same. The devil is very busy. It just so happened that this situation was published throughout the world. What would Jesus do?

No matter what he did, she had no right putting her nasty hands in his face, so it is only natural to re-act it’s just begin human. I would have done the same if some “stankie” woman put their hands on me to. I’m a member of the A.M.E church since birth. When my family moved to another state, Rev. Armstrong was our pastor many years ago. I remember him as a kind person, whatever he did as a pastor was between him and the Lord. Sad to say Rev. Armstrong is now with the Lord. A.M.E. 4 life!

Wow.

I’ll never be the one to challenge one’s faith, still…

Let’s pretend there’s not a Christian God or Christ himself. Can we not, as women and men, discern right from wrong? Are we not all moral beings, regardless of race or religion? And is not religion, the word of God, being interpreted by “man” himself?

There are flaws in our social matrix, in our perceptions and projections, that we have made, and that only we can repair. How? Awareness. That’s when you go inside, not outside, your Self. Not the the self that rants and discriminates and hates…the Self that knows love and compassion when s/he feels it.

There is work to be done. Prayer helps in so much that your intention is global, not personal…full of love, not fear. Start from inside and shine out.

I agree that a pastor should be the shepherd of a church-only if that pastor has the proper training to do so. Many Black churches will allow anyone to become a minister without adequate guidance which leads to this fiasco. A.M.E. bishops especially in the MN/IA area are allowing pastors to become too powerful which leads to loss of humility and integrity. Yes, prayer helps but when you dust off your knees from praying, God looks for us to ACT. I don’t believe God expects to do it all by himself.
