This is a sad news to hear that a saved soul has fallen short. It is more sad because when Jesus talks of a tree being recognized by its fruit, we living in Muslim world have to listen to remarks that Christianity promotes evil things just because of such Pastors. We Christians are bold in exposing Priests and others related to Church but are very weak in picking out people from other religions doing the same.

Anyhow I pray that God shows His mercy on Him. But I strongly disagree with Prophet Martin Young when he compares disciples with the pastor. They denied Jesus because they were not destined to be crucified with Jesus. Jesus alone was responsible for salvation. I always pray to God, that people bearing western names may speak something to glorify Jesus after reading and understanding the Word of God and should not and must not use their own intelligence to interpret the Bible and its incidences.

These personal interpertations of the Bible tells others that what we believe in has contradictions.

Through this blog I request, if the Pastor has sinned and fallen short of glory, it is upto him to repent and seek forgiveness. It is not right to hold a blog on someone's sin. We all are sinners, we all have committed adultery sometime or the other in our hearts, we have murdered people in our hearts, so as Christ said, Mat 7:3 "Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when the beam is in your own eye?

I am not defending anyone here. But see such blogs are protrayed differently in our part of the world. I went to office and one of my colleagues pointed out to me "Have you read the story about Pastor Ted Haggard?" I said no, so she should me the news on internet, then I had many sending me the story through intranet. Remember, I hold a senior position in the company of 15,000 employees and I am the only christian.

If someone has sinned, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS AN ISSUE as if whole Christianity is on his shoulders and now we have no one to trust on. We all sin in secret and openly.

We must pray for Pastor Hoggard that he may repent and his repentance is accepted.
