Pastor causes outrage over F-word sermon

A pastor causes internet controversy by using the 'F' word to deliver message of forgiveness

A PASTOR has caused internet controversy by using the 'F' word to deliver his message of forgiveness to his congregation.

The two-minute video, which was uploaded just three months ago, has already received over 484,000 views on YouTube.

The unnamed American pastor said the new 'F' word in the church is ‘forgive’. He then went on to tell his congregation not to be offended.

He said: “Look at your neighbour and say ‘F you’, not just your neighbour, but look down your whole row and say and ‘F y’all too’.

He added: “Would you do me a favour take your phone out and text all your ex’s and say ‘I’m at church F you! I forgive you for lying on me and talking about me’. ‘Pastor my mamma don’t like’, you well F your mama. ‘My family don’t like you’, F your family too.”

The comical pastor then encouraged his congregation to stamp their feet and have a ‘little church’ with him. According to the hip pastor, the sermon was intended to demonstrate God’s forgiveness and prompt others to follow in his footsteps.

However some YouTube viewers were not as amused as his congregation, Rhino3548 wrote; “I can speak of God according to scripture. It clearly says do not let your good be spoken for evil. All I’m saying this is not a good representation. He went too far. Tell your neighbor F- You tell everyone in this church F-You. Why not just say I Forgive you which looks and sounds better.”

Whilst Bontard wrote: “I cannot believe what I’m hearing. This isn’t funny at all.”

But most comments were in favour of preacher dynamic way of delivering his message of forgiveness.

Puppylover wrote: “I hate when people try to ruin a good thing. It's called humor, people. Chill out”.

Another user added: “I admire him a lot, what a fantastic sermon.”

Forgive is not a four letter word

Forgive is a seven letter word so to say "F" you does not mean I forgive you.

Truly religious leaders are leading their flock straight to hell. What pastor would influence his people to use the f' word as this guy has done? It does not make any sense whatsoever to encourage people to use that acronym for forgiveness.

Religious leaders are dishonorable at the most. Their followers are going to hell with them.

This is horrible and it makes no sense to preach in this type of manner. God would not be pleased. This is just another message from a popular preacher on TV. He said the same thing. JB from Maryland.This is not a message from the Spirit of God but it is devilish of from the flesh. God is definitely going to bring judgment on the church. This mess has to be punished.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! THIS IS CLEARLY WHY JESUS SAID THERE WILL BE MANY WHO WILL SAY LORD, LORD, I DID .... AND HE WILL THEN SAY DEPART FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU. THE WORD IS THE WORD, IT IS NOT BE BE ABBREVIATED TO A SWEAR WORD. SATAN MUST BE SIMPLY LAUGHING. THIS IS A MOCKERY OF THE WORD, THE PURENESS, THE HOLINESS AND THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM. BE NOT FOOLED GOD IS NOT MOCKED... FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWS THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.

Pastor using the 'F' word

Simply put, F in the context of the language used in spoken/written English is used to abbreviate the swearing four letter word 'f..k'! The honest in heart will admit to that. The one with a 'chip' on their shoulder against their fellow men, will blatantly deny it. Your mama don't like ...you well 'F... your mama'. 'Your family don't like you...F.. your family too!' That sentence clearly states the swear word by the language. One with a hidden motive will speak like that!! Not a loving normal GOD fearing person!!!

Why is he afraid to spell out the word of 'forgiveness'? If GOD forgives us and we are thankful for this, and we want to be like JESUS, why not say 'I forgive you ...because I love you'? The reason must be because the pastor doesn't mean his 'neighbour' good and he just wants to tell them a word or two!! Silence speaks volume, and the pastor has just condemned himself.....'by their fruits, ye shall know them...' If you love someone, you don't use cryptic, shortened language to say simply 'I love you'!! Or, 'I l... you'. The pastor concentrates a lot on the negative side of things...your ex, mother that don't like you, family that don't like you. If you are going to represent GOD in the public, then do it, and don't play with GOD. If JESUS didn't do it, why should we think that we have the right to make up our own rules. Stop compromising with the Bible, and get on with the job...if you have any 'backbone'!!!

Cool in your eyes. Not cool in Gods eyes. The pastor is in the wrong job. I wonder if any of his congregation left. I would have. To then seek a new church, with a pastor who loves God, more than himself.
