What makes you think "most" pastors "get caught up in sexual affairs"?
I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, because it does. My experience is that in most things we hear of the exceptions rather than the rule. Makes for more exciting reading. ; )
One pastor I knew personally who was caught in an affair, did preach against adultery from the pulpit...So, I suppose that instead of fleeing from temptation they become like the old frog in the pan of water. They don't notice how much trouble they are in until it is too late.
Ordination doesn't mean one is no longer human. Anyone can sin if the temptation is right.

If one would consider what the religious leaders teach, one would see how confused they are. These religions claim to follow the Bible. Many of them, with a sanctimonious look on their faces, hold the Bible up over their heads when preaching as a show of "belief", yet they know their lives are filled with sin, which their Bible condemns. All religions teach that the Savior did away with the Father's Laws, deceiving the world into thinking it's fine to practice sin. This cuts the whole world off from Yahweh. Yahweh is the Name of the Creator.

Most ministers most certainly not do such a thing. Some ministers do, and it's all a buzz because they're a minister. But ministers are flawed just like everybody else.

Not most ministers but lots of them. Humans are flawed. We sin. Just because someone is a minister doesn't mean they are perfect. They are wrong to do this and yes they should be preaching against it. Judge not unless you be judged. GOD BLESS!

Most of them do speak against it but they are human beings caught up in sin just like everyone else.
Many people believe that once you become a Christian you become a perfect totally incapable of sin, this isn't true. You still have that sin nature and are tempted by the sins of the flesh.

Most ministers dont, its just that you only hear of ministers when they do something wrong. In fact, there are more cases of child sexploitation in the public school system than in churches.
