AS A BLOGGER, don’t BE A BLOCKER IN GOD’S KINGDOM
God will hold every human on Earth accountable for his or her good or evil actions.
This is one more reason why some of our people (bloggers and publishers) should be reluctant to define CCC as a whole based on a single violation or flaw. It’s a bad idea.
The fact that an individual engages in evil on his own volition (particularly outside the church domain) does not imply that such evil is acceptable or the norm in such a religious organization. As a result, CCC bloggers and zealous defenders should exercise caution before publicly condemning CCC for the individual’s wrongdoings.
However, as a church organization, we have a spiritual and moral responsibility to counsel and discipline the individual for the purpose of the kingdom, in accordance with his shepherd and local parish.
A good example is the H/S/E who was arrested in a robbery/kidnapping case. When the news broke, the press did not name his church or refer to him as an evangelist based on his clothes. Some CCC bloggers or overzealous defenders included his CCC photos in H/S/E outfit. That was a big error on their side.
Every criminal suspect is linked to a religious organization.
However, anytime an individual (a member of the CCC) commits wicked and criminal activities within the church or as a representative of the church, such crimes should be reported to law enforcement for further investigation and prosecution. The church should not hide this.
If the church refuses to act and continues to enable the person to enjoy criminal freedom after a certain period of time, CCC bloggers can publish such information within the CCC (and copy concerned administrators) in order to compel or force the CCC to act. If the authority fails to act, bloggers can make the situation public.
If a blogger is an enemy of the church of God, he is also an enemy of God.
Speaking or writing about the church’s faults does not automatically render one an enemy of the church of God. However, it is important to consider the purpose, manner, procedure, timing, and wisdom of such actions.
I usually advise bloggers not to use their posts as a personal instrument to fight (vendetta, revenge) persons or perceived enemies within the church.
