\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr T reminds the reader:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

This is minister, elder, leaders ” motives and mindsets” “methods” <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

and many “voices” and authority “tones”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

One key Bible verse that advises against exposing another person\u2019s sins publicly is <\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 17:9 (KJV)<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

“He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This verse suggests that love seeks to cover or forgive sins rather than broadcast them, while repeatedly bringing up offenses causes division.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another relevant passage is Matthew 18:15 (KJV)<\/strong>, which gives a clear biblical process for addressing sin:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus instructs believers to address sins privately first, rather than exposing them publicly. Only if the person refuses to listen does the matter escalate to a wider audience (Matthew 18:16-17).<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Proverbs 11:13 (KJV)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

“A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    This warns against gossip and revealing private matters, emphasizing faithfulness in keeping confidences.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Proverbs 25:9-10 (KJV)**<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    “Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another: Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    **Aside: as the KJV of this is difficult, I add both of these translations of Proverbs 25:9-10<\/strong>\u00a0 Amplified Bible (AMP)<\/strong> and\u00a0 English Standard Version (ESV)<\/strong>:<\/em><\/p>\n

    Proverbs 25:9-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    9<\/strong> Argue your case with your neighbor himself [before you go to court];<\/em><\/span>
    And do not reveal another\u2019s secret,<\/em><\/span>
    10<\/strong> Or he who hears it will shame you<\/em><\/span>
    And the rumor about you [and your action in court] will have no end.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    Proverbs 25:9-10 English Standard Version (ESV)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    9<\/strong> Argue your case with your neighbor himself,<\/em><\/span>
    and do not reveal another\u2019s secret,<\/em><\/span>
    10<\/strong> lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,<\/em><\/span>
    and your ill repute have no end.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • This passage emphasizes handling disputes privately and not exposing others’ secrets, as it can lead to shame and lasting damage to one\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • \n

      Publicly exposing someone’s secrets can lead to shame for both parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3. 1 Peter 4:8 (KJV)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

      “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Love seeks to cover<\/strong> sin (not in the sense of enabling it but rather addressing it with grace and mercy).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        4. Galatians 6:1 (KJV)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

        “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          This verse emphasizes restoration<\/strong> rather than public humiliation, warning against self-righteousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \nNAMING CHRISTIAN NAMES: OUT IN PUBLIC OR IN PRIVATE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          According to biblical teaching<\/strong>, the responsibility to call out and address the sins of an elder in Christian ministry is not vested in just any individual or group. Instead, it follows a defined, church-based process intended to promote restoration rather than public shaming.<\/span><\/p>\n

          1. Private Confrontation by a Fellow Believer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

          Matthew 18:15 (KJV)<\/strong> teaches that if a believer sins, the first step is to speak to them privately:<\/span>
          “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            This indicates that a fellow Christian who is directly concerned should address the issue privately before it becomes a matter of public record.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            2. Escalation to Church Leadership<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

            If private confrontation does not lead to repentance, Matthew 18:16-17 (KJV)<\/strong> instructs to involve one or two others:<\/span>
            “But if he heed not, tell it unto the church: but if he heed not even the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              This process implies that the issue should be raised within the local church context, where the gathered body of believers, and ultimately the leadership (elders), can address the sin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              3. Accountability of Church Elders<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

              For elders specifically, 1 Timothy 5:19-20 (KJV)<\/strong> advises caution and proper evidence before any public rebuke:<\/span>
              “Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              • \n

                This passage underscores that any call-out must be handled carefully, with verified evidence and in accordance with established church discipline, rather than by strangers or external parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

                The Bible directs that only fellow believers\u2014ideally those within the church leadership or designated accountability groups\u2014have the authority to address the sin of an elder. This ensures that the matter is handled with the intent of restoration, in line with biblical procedures, rather than through external, potentially divisive gossip or media sensationalism.<\/span><\/p>\n

                ASKING: <\/strong>Is It a Noble, God-Called Mission to Expose Fellow Christians in Scandal Videos and Podcasts, Many Articles?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

                The modern trend of Christian scandal-exposing channels, podcasts, and viral video clips<\/strong> claiming to serve God by exposing sins\u2014especially of high-ranking elders, pastors, and ministers\u2014is deeply questionable from a biblical perspective<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                This practice often involves:<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n

The biblical approach\u2014rooted in discreet, loving correction aimed at restoration\u2014provides a stark contrast to the sensationalism prevalent in many modern gossip ministries. By upholding these principles, Christians can navigate the digital landscape in a way that honors both the truth of the Gospel and the dignity of every person involved.<\/span><\/p>\n
