What a horrible, horrible narcissistic man he is. He really thinks he can just explain everything away. Look at his face when Erin M asked her about the "crushed Pills" in his brief case. Narcissistic people love to talk. He talks too freaking much.... he's just a dumb, self centered, conceded, little man

Not that I'm religious myself, but this preacher isn't like the bible thumping baptists I was raised around. Wine coolers would have been judged right up there along side murder. They didn't, however, mind being petty, gossipy, judgmental, narrow minded, two faced, mean spirited, self serving harpies. Of course there were a few people in our church who managed to equate religion with kindness and decency, but for the most part I suspect their god hung his head and wept every time he looked down on them.

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

By just calling the other woman on the phone he was already in sin. This guy calls himself a preacher!!!!!!

Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Just having the wine coolers in the house shows that this guy is not doing what the bible states as he is not to drink wine. He is not a preacher of Christ. The descriptions of the bible state he is a preacher of filthy lucre. How was he suppose to show the truth when he did not live the truth in his life. His first and foremost duty was to make sure that he lived according to God's laws.

Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill

If his wife is supposedly taking medication to sleep he needs to show her in the bible where it states to be sober. The Bible states that if he is to be a servant of God he is suppose to confront his wife about the pills. In his statement he thought she was getting better and yet he still had the pills in the house than by the words of God he had helped her kill herself if he did not do it himself.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Only by our works is our FAITH shown. I pray that this poor woman makes it to heaven. For God states that every work done in secret will be shouted so in the end the truth will be made know.

This man is a terrible liar. And in my opinion ... very, very selfish. But, also ... he who is without sin cast the first stone. I just don't understand how it could lead to that. If you don't want your spouse anymore - as a Christian (if you are), you must make an effort to resolve your problem. If it's just lust for someone else ... shame on you. Get it together. But, if you absolutely can't resolve things ... just walk away (the right way - through divorce). It's not the answer but it sure beats taking someone's life. Can a person who preaches God's word actually live with himself after doing something like that. I tend to believe he did it. But, I wasn't there. I don't like anything he did.

[Living]InaVan,

Let's take on the Democrats together! You and me. Whaddya say? We can watch 20/20, Dateline, 48 Hours Mystery, Cold Case Files, and all the other true-crime TV series and watch for liberal-leaning episodes. I saw an episode of Forensic Files recently in which a very Christian man who was a pharmacist (Robert Courtney was his name) was diluting patients' cancer drugs so he could make more money on the same supply. He did this for years, making millions of dollars. He even diluted prescriptions for children with cancer. He had pledged $1 million to his church--they were going to build a wing in his honor. Then he was caught. I think we should find the "umbrella" company for Forensic Files and ask them why they are trying to make Republicans look bad. Come to think of it, that story aired before the midterm elections, too! Wow, it's all making sense now. The umbrella company forced Mr. Courtney to dilute all those cancer drugs. Let's join forces, [Living]InaVan[DownbytheRiver]! Together we can stop all negative reporting on Christians and people we think might be Republicans! We will be unstoppable.

UncleStravos,

Well with words like "Awesome" and "Hahahahahaha", I'm at a loss as to how to respond. This is where the internet is lacking. Screen names are deceptive. "Uncle" makes it seem like you're an adult. Your responses thus far led me to believe you were simply an irrational adult. Now, I think you may be quite young.

InaVan, I notice you don't mention Fox News, the most biased "news" source on TV. I think that gives us a clue that you are one of the brainwashed Beck zombies. Awesome. I now know that anything you say or write comes from something you saw on "Fox & Friends" or heard from Rush Limbaugh. Of course you think "48 Hours Mystery" is part of a left-wing plot! Hahahahahaha. Oh dear. Well, good luck to you, sir.
