Most of the time I weigh things up. Of course, pastors are also humans. They can commit mistakes just like anyone else. Whether pastor or non-pastor, anyone who teaches me or counsels me, I always ponder well, to see both sides by myself.

Always look whatever up. The pastor is human after all, and can make a mistake. Rely on Gods word

I look it up. So far this pastor has been right on the money with what he has said. But I have been to many churches where that was not the case.

Yes, I do believe my pastor, but I also look it up and consider it myself. People see different things in scripture. And you should always be researching and growing.

I believe in all good things . I believe in Karma. The reason is because the bible was written by man. I believe that everyone should have their own beliefs and a pastor is there for guidance.

First, I believe my Pastor has a close walk with God. I believe he is human and makes mistakes. If I didn't believe that, I would look it up and consider it for myself.
When it comes to the Bible and his sermons, I believe them, but I have studied them to understand his sermon better.

I looked it up, and many things the preachers told me was in the bible just wasn't there, and I left Christianity for a religion that answers my spiritual questions, and makes sence.
Jesus only professed to being the ONLY son of God in the third chapter of John. All other places he called himself "the son of man" meaning he was a mortal human.
Pastor asked me to believe in the trinity, There is no scriptural evidence of the trinity.
The three wise men visited Jesus the night he was born. The book of Matthew says otherwise, When the wise men came; Joseph, Mary and Jesus were living in a house, and the bible says they visited the young child instead of visiting the babe, esus was probably walking by the time they arrived.
and I had lots of other issues where I could not accept what Christianity was asking me to believe was true.

Act 17:11 "Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." The BIBLE talks about looking it up for ourselves.

I took a test once at a church to see where one fits in
the ministry. I scored highest as a teacher. Teachers
they said, are the type of person, that if someone says something is in the Bible. They look it up and make sure it's in the Bible.

Well I don't go to a church unless the pastor gives Biblical scriptures to base his teachings off. If it makes sense and appears logical, I accept it, if it smells rotten, I reject it.
