We all know Biden and Harris are both bumbling, lazy, uncaring morons. The puppet masters behind them, however, are cunning, ruthless, and deadly. Never in my life could I have imagined that any government would let thousands of Americans die in a natural tragedy because of the way they vote. But now, as I watch the criminal malfeasance in NC under Biden/Harris, it has crossed my mind. It surely can’t be true, but their slovenly neglect is now bordering on willful political warfare.

You don't say what it was that he did, but a wise old Puritan (I forget which one!) said that a fallen minister should not return to his post until his repentance became as well-know as the offense.
I was thinking it was Charles Spurgeon who said that?

OK, just have to ask, since it is the elephant in the room in Idaho that no one wants to talk about (well, except annoying little old me who isn't actually in Idaho at the moment).  I mean, I will skip the Crusader stuff for now, though, that must be discussed as well (separating history from theology is dangerous). My issue is this: if you agree with Wolfe 99% of the time, does that mean that his positive Thomism and natural law theology, and his denial of (and seems to me detestation of) postmillennialism, theonomy, and presuppositionalism, along with, I might add, his seeming insistence that the Reformation be defined not by the material and formal principles thereof, but by the Reformer's continued use of medieval sacralist categories of political practice, all amount to just that little 1%?  For me, that adds up to a whole lot more than 1%, doesn't it?

Yes, he is disqualified from functioning as a Pastor.

If he repents and remains as a faithful member of a local church, he could do something like prison ministry, nursing home ministry, hospital visitation, etc

...to a recent pastor, does that offense permanently exclude him (or anyone else who commits such an act) from a future pastorate? I'd have to say yes it does, as men in the ministry are to held to higher standards than lay people.

I do not wish this thread to turn into what this person did, but rather address the ramifications, short and long term, of future in the church.

We should teach people to search the Scriptures as opposed to listening for the "still small voice" of God in their hearts. There is no new divine revelation given to God's people in our day. No new prophecy is given to God's people today.

The Scripture is sufficient.

In Genesis 1, the phrase 'after its kind' or 'after their kind' appears seven times: vv. 11 (vegetation), 12 (fruit-bearing trees), 21 [twice] (sea creatures and birds), 24 [twice] (cattle, creeping things, and beasts), and 25 (cattle, everything that creeps on the ground). The word kind is the Hebrew noun 'mîn' (מִין) which denotes species. Those species are fixed and immutable, so that cattle does not morph into a bird nor an ant into a fish. The same is true for how God created the human species (humankind) and designed it so that it would reproduce after its kind—male and female—fixed and immutable. So there is no such thing as a "transgendered" person. You are created by God as either male or female—period (Gen. 1:27, 5:2; Matt. 19:4).

"But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female." — Mark 10:6
The way Christians should treat our remaining sin is analogous to what Moses did with the golden calf in Deuteronomy 9:21a: “I took your sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small until it was as fine as dust.”

It is simply not true that it is wrong to have heroes. It is wrong to worship any man but it is not wrong to admire godly men and women and learn from them. Most of our heroes ought to be dead when an evaluation of them can be more accurately and fairly discerned.

Sin will take you farther than you're willing to go, keep you longer than you're willing to stay, and cost you more than you're willing to pay.

Mark this down—it's not worth it.

Remain steadfast in the faith.
