. You have to hold priest to a higher moral standard than regular folk because the text he's teachin' from makes difficult demands of those who believe in it.
that's fundamentally faulty, and the reason why many people go astray...
if you truly believe your priest/pastor is morally/spiritually above you... how could they ever relate to you???
it's like the belief that an A+ student is just smarter so the work is easier to them....
a leader needs to be like the team.
He needs t be imperfect. He needs to be humble. I need to know that he's subject to the exact same weaknesses that i am. When you believe that he is like you, then it's much easier to believe that what he is speaking is from experience.
How can you tell me how to get through my struggles with faith in God, if you never got through struggles with faith in God.
You reach people at their level.
When people place these pastors/priests on a higher plane of moral standings, their faith becomes in that person and not the personal journey they should be trying to direct you towards...
personally i dont really f with mega churches lot that anyway...
it's just too flashy for my personal liking...that ain't what i look for in church, and i strongly believe everyone should find a church that works best for them instead of the other way around,... but that's another argument....
