Reply to comment by xRVAx in Abortion protestors by the VMFA by OatmealCremePiez

Where in the Bible does it say that pastors need to pay for abortions, because our pastor at First Baptist has paid for 2 already this year. Last year I only new of 5 but he went on a missions trip in June and August so I would have to check with the other office.

I don't really understand your question. It sounds like you are gossiping about your pastor but maybe I'm hearing you wrong.

I was going to confront my pastor like you had pointed out using scripture but now that I think about it you're right, I shouldn't be gossiping about him spending a portion of the tithing on abortions over the past 8 years.

Again, I can't tell from your tone if you're trying to be ironic. Of course you're supposed to confront a pastor if you think he's doing something wrong, regardless of if you have a chapter/verse Bible citation . Matthew 18 says before you use Reddit to levy wild accusations against someone, you should confront them privately. Obviously i'm paraphrasing. :)

Have you talked to him directly about this?

About 'killing babies'? Yeah we joke about it all the time, he paid for one of ours too. I know other Christians and church leaders that get them done all the time. Not any of my business tho like you said, simple gossip.
