Pastor Jinwright indictment

Anthony Jinwright, appearing in federal court today, told a judge he understood the 14-count indictment brought against him. The long-time Charlotte-area pastor who leads Greater Salem City of God in west Charlotte was given a $100,000 unsecured bond.

Jinwright , who declined to answer questions from a reporter, last month proclaimed his innocence in a written statement. “I am not guilty of such allegations,” the statement reads. “No evidence to support these charges has been presented to me and I therefore await my day in court.” - Christopher D. Kirkpatrick

Too bad people can't be happy when they have enough money to buy the necessities of life. You'd think someone with a Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry Degree would know better.

Church has become very much like a big business and the preachers have the same mentality.(to make as much and have more than anyone else) It is no longer to serve God and their neighbor, but how the ministy can best serve them.
The sad part is that them seem to see nothing wrong with what they do. This is one reason young people leave the church.(hipocracy)

WHY ARE WE SO JUDGEMENTAL? IF YOU WERE SO PERFECT, THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE WALKING ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN LET HIM CAST THE FIRST STONE. SO PUT DOWN THE ROCKS AND REMEMBER EACH OTHER IN PRAY. LMCCOY

To rjackson & LMCCOY:

I am not concerned about Brother Jinwright, but the flock at Salem. I ask this question, how long does one have to display a wolve in sheepskin clothing before eyes are opened? Would Jesus be living among us, in this manner? God has exposed this darkness and now you desire bless what God has cursed? Be of itchy ears, but know this! Utter darkness will be your home! This is not a new sin for this Brother! He has known for a long time that what he was doing was wrong in the eyes of God! Let his fruit show his repentance! Until then, have nothing to do with him! If you bring sin, back into the pulpit, then you reap, that which you sow! Ask the children of israel who came out of the exdous? I pray for stray and stranded sheep of Salem. Have mercy Lord!

This is a warning to all Pastors, God is not slack the way man thinks that He is slack! Stop leading His sheep astray! Let this mind that is in Christ Jesus, be also in you! Desire not! The things of this world. For you wolves out there! A firery damnation is your promised home! Greater Salem, ask God to bring you a Sheppard after His own heart! You do not need Jinwright! Jesus is your King! Jinwright (Saul) went astray and must pay for his sins.

Greater Salem:

I am not saying that you should not pray for Brother Jinwright. Pray for him! That God may restore him, but do not allow him to stand before you and preach! I was just listening to 2 John and heard these verses loud and clear: "9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." If one speaks what the bible speaks, he/she is not being judgemental, but speaking God's truth!

These are pulpit pimps, preaching a false gospel. The Bible warns us of them, but the unlearned members forget to worship God and worship man. I feel sorry for the members that don't trust God and have placed all there trust in mortal man. Members allow these pimps to pimp and shout about it. Where is there disernment and common sense.
Don't blame the sinful a-- preacher for making a hussle. God help him.

Too bad that you hear something about someone and you immediately have an opinion about them. Calling the bishop names does not make you a better person. Bishop came to Africa few times and all the time he paid his own accommodation and expenses and not once he was re-compensated and he served God all the time and went to schools to preach the Gospel. Some of you are Pastors who claim to be righteous I suggest you start praying for this servant of God and stop playing God over his life. Samson's hair grew while people like you were busy concentrating on mocking him and judging him.
