How does the Church of God treat a pastor who confesses to a struggle with alcohol, drugs, or even sex? And would there be a difference in the three situations I have mentioned?www.christianpost.com/news/max-lucado-reveals-he-relied-on-alcohol-to-cope-with-pressure.html

[quote=sheepdogandy]How do they treat a Pastor who is blameless?I can answer that and the answer is it all depends. If you or your family has a history in the cog you will be afforded opportunities and 2nd or 3rd chances that others who are newer to the cog will not even when you have proven yourself 1000% innocent.Consistency? I think not________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

It is ACTUALLY A NORMAL thing, and hard not to practice, I guess. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
What I read. He would guzzle a large beer to take the edge off. Doesn’t sound like he was drunk or drank multiple beers. Christians take meds all the time due to stress which is more controlled by a doctor as opposed to a beer. Sounds very similar. However, not a wise decision.That said, we have fought for years here as to whether alcohol is a sin. Not a wise decision on his part but then again, it did not go into drunkedness.
