I hear it in stories all the time. The phrase, "when you believe that you above God’s law anything can happen." It is used to explain how a pastor screwed up by raping a child or stealing funds. Poor pastor so-and-so, he put himself above God’s law. My problem is that the whole concept of God’s law is flawed. It does not exist and there is no one to enforce it. Under these conditions, of course, people interpret the law to their best advantage. Like pastor Joseph Kennedy Ragland. He put himself above God’s law by allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl.
An application for a search warrant says Ragland, pastor at the Church of God in Christ Jesus in Angier, had sex with the teenager three times after telling her to drink beer.
What good does it do to study the word of God if those who preach it violate some of the most basic concepts?
