Today we hear about too many Christian Priests and Ministers who rape children, steal the Church's money by deceiving people, full of hypocrisy, etc... (http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/religion/christianity/christianpedofile.shtml)
It is important to know why Christianity suffers the most from such men. It is also important to know that the man-made corrupted Bible claims that the spiritual men are perfect and sinless who judge about all things, and they are not subject to anyone's judgment.
Let us look at the following from the Bible:
"The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Corinthians 2:15)"
Perhaps the Bible's worst error is this ridiculous verse, because it puts certain men above all people, almost to a GOD level. If no one can "touch" these people, as we say it today in our slang language, regardless of their sinful history, then what benefit will this do to humanity?
I don't mind having dedicated knowledgeable Ministers to preach the religion for others. It is important to have such people. Like in Islam, Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran:
"O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to God and His Apostle, if ye do believe in God and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination. (The Noble Quran, 4:59)"
It is important that we have knowledgeable people to teach us the Way to GOD Almighty. But to put these people in a category above all people is an utter failure! No where in Islam does Allah Almighty claim that anyone is better than the other. In fact He said:
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"
So despite the fact that a person can be a knowledgeable Minister (Sheikh) in Islam, he still isn't considered better than anyone in the Sight of Allah Almighty. Any person that was taught Islam by him can still be a better person than him.
Certainly the Priest pedophiles and the corrupted hypocrites from the Ministers who deceive people and steal their money like Benny Hyne for instance where he touches people and they pretend to faint are clear examples of the utter failure and corruption of Christianity and the Bible.
One has to be either an extremely stupid person, or an extremely biased one toward Christianity to deny this irrefutable fact.

Christians: Are they the sinless & perfect man in the Bible??
>> No, certainly not. The one and only sinless and perfect man in the Bible is Jesus Christ. No Christians are sinless and perfect. If you can, show me that in the Scriptures. If Christians are sinless and perfect, then we would not need to have a Saviour - Jesus Christ. We don't even need God for that matter, since we are already made perfect!
Today we hear about too many Christian Priests and Ministers who rape children, steal the Church's money by deceiving people, full of hypocrisy, etc...
>> Yes, unfortunately, there are so many of them.. These are NOT the true, genuine disciples of Jesus Christ.. They are just Christians by name and not true Christians from the inside.. (By the way, priests are for the Catholics, and NOT for the Christians - there is a huge, contrasting difference between the Catholics and the Protestant Christians.) I also will not deny that there are many nominal Christians who use their high-ranking positions in a religious institution / organization to manipulate others. These are ones that Jesus dislikes; such as the Pharisees and Saducees in His days on earth. Being religious (especially only on the outward) was never what Jesus wanted. Being in a relationship of knowing and experiencing God - that is what Jesus had always wanted for us.

>> In this Scripture verse, even though the spiritual man is not subjected to any man's judgement, he is EVEN MORE under stricter judgement BY GOD. The spiritual man in this context, DOES NOT refer to Christian priests (as you have quoted) or nominal Christians just like what I've described here earlier. There is NO WAY that these group of people be categorized as the spiritual men in this context. The spiritual men possess a distinctive, consistent relationship with God and is a changed person by God's grace - the religious position alone does not determine that a person is referred to as the spiritual man in this context. The true spiritual men also acts and thinks like Jesus would; since Jesus is the first, and only perfect spiritual man who has ever lived and will ever live on earth.

The most dangerous counterfeit is the one that most nearly resembles the true. This is why religious counterfeits are so deadly and are often tolerated rather than identified and exposed. Christians in general are afraid that they will be misunderstood if they attack something that looks so much like the finest thing in religion. Since there is often only a thin line separating the best from the worst, they fear being charged with attacking the genuine if they oppose the counterfeit. Has Satan fabricated some look-alike perversions of the most sacred doctrines in Christianity Indeed he has, and the delicate distinctions have made even theologians and scholars very reticent to oppose them openly ****The original sin doctrine also gave rise to the dogma of the immaculate conception of Mary. If every baby was born with guilt on its soul, then something would have to be done to preserve Jesus from that guiltelse He could not be a perfect sacrifice for sin. The Catholic solution assigned Mary a miraculous conception also, which preserved her from the effect of original sin. Thus Jesus would be born of a human mother without partaking of the supposed guilt of Adam.

No. Looking at some of your other questions, you appear to be obsessed with sexual sins. The Christian Church teaches that all sins, not just sexual sins, are wrong. That is the real issue.
All people, not just Christians, are sinners. It's not logical to single out a particular sin as evidence that the Christian Church teaches blasphemy. If this were a logical method, it would be acceptable for people to believe that the Muslim Faith teaches mass-murder as part of their doctrine...which...like pedophilia...is obviously not the case.
The Bible merely teaches God's Truth. Whether people choose to obey God's Will is up to the individual. God is not a slave driver nor a taskmaster. He could...but won't...force us to do His Will.
In your question, you have judged some Christians to be pedophiles, corrupt, hypocrites, thieves, stupid, and biased. In effect, you are usurping God by assuming His role as judge.
By your own logic, one could conclude that every Christian who has never committed the sin of pedophilia is therefore sinless...or perfect...but the Church does not teach this either.

Your basis that Christianity is unique in having corrupt ministers is flawed. The equivalent would be me saying, "How can Islam tolerate so many religious leaders such as ayatollahs and imams who have no concern for innocent human life? Why are Muslims so willing to claim murder is justified under their religion?"
Christians have evil people who manage to deceive to become church leaders so they can conduct their evil acts. We certainly have others whose motivation is not God-centered.
Your scripture quote refers to the "spiritual man." But to say a pedophile is a spiritual man is a corrupt definition and interpretation of the terms.

Actually I think you are stupid.
I'm a Catholic and I'm proud of it.
I know most priest are doing a wonderful job, it's a job that includes many sacrifices, and perhaps much solitude, they do give up you know what most people take for granted.
It's a very holy vocation and because it is they are even more tempted by the devil than the rest of us.
They are after all human and the amount of pedophiles in the priesthood is actually lower than in other occupation (teachers for ex.)
So stick to real facts before you accuse other people of heinous sins.
I'll defend the priests with my life.
Besides the only sinless people are Jesus and Mary.
Get out of the heresy of Islam.
Christ Jesus is Allah.
And Muhammad is a false prophet.

According to Bible, the one and only perfect man ever lived on this surface in Jesus Christ.
Bible also makes it clear that those who teach others will be judged more strictly (James 3:1).
Personally I do not see authority figures (in church especially) as beyond reproach. I respect them and I study Bible for myself to know the truth.
But I know where you come from. You have rightfully pointed out a dangerous attitude: accept wholesales from authority without careful examination.

Unfortunatly, organized religion tends to be way more about power than about honouring any diety. And I'll include both Islam and Christianity in that generalization. Relgious heirarchies are mostly about maintaining the power of religious heirarchies.
God, protect me from your followers.

it is a very good question...but this judgment they are talking about is understanding of things...not being judged...beside your web link only has the Christian religion or those related, as frauds, lies ,and control. there was none about Islam or other religions...i am sure there are other religions leaders, including imams, who have committed such horrible crimes...not just in Christianity...Muslims aren't perfect either...try harder next time...

Hey - not even god is sinless - he ordered murder of thousands. Also some holy men murdered in the name of God... So I assume most of the people mentioned in the Bible are sinners. Heaven will be full of them. !
