I don't disagree with you when it comes to matters of abuse and lawbreaking. But that wasn't my point. In general the personal lives of saints is no one's business but God's. But yes, if it comes to abuse and breaking the law within the church then those things matter and I agree with others sentiments here that abuse should be called out publicly and I believe the law should be involved if it involves large crimes such as sexual abuse that people have claimed has happened within the walls of the church buildings. Absolutely it should go to the law, and that person should be removed from the church. I've read other's testimonies of these things being swept under the rug and I can't at all agree with that behavior. If an elder or the leadership in a given church did that and ignored an abuse of that magnitude then they are fully wrong
But that's not what I was talking about so you're taking something I said and adding a twist onto it that leads in a different direction, and then acting like I'm saying something I'm not saying, like I'm ok with abuse being ignored or something. No, I'm not. So please don't do that. Please don't twist my words into something that I didn't say and don't mean
