Why were you shocked to find out pastors have a problem with inappropriate content? Why would you think that pastors would be less affected by sin than anyone else? Sin nature is a universal part of the human existence.
Let's say a pastor has a problem with sexual sin and he preaches against sexual sin. Does that make him a hypocrite? Oh yes, definitely it does. It might even diminish the message were his sin to be discovered.
Pastors are supposed to be leaders, and ideally should have lives free from scandal. This doesn't mean they will be sinless... but where this goes sideways, is when most leaders can't live up to what they are preaching, is there any chance anyone else could? And if you are a teen with raging hormones, would you even try?
And yet many teens do, at least for a while, despite their leaders actions, even if they know the leader is having affairs etc. The Holy Spirit works wonders this way.
Lets say it was 5%, rather than I think 52%... that I could understand and would not be all that shocked by it. But when its 1 in 2, yikes.
But does it then follow that the truth he is preaching regarding sexual sin (Let's assume for argument's sake that his preaching is biblical) is not truth? No. Truth is truth.
Truth is truth, but when ones need to protect a reputation (avoiding the scandal of moral hazard ie subtlely advocating sex outside marriage) all the while (engaging in sexual immorality, despite trying to hide it and even preaching against it), and using such as a reason to deny another truth (supporting the single mom and reducing abortion) this is a huge problem. And please note I started with agreeing that "truth is truth"
This is where this entire argument about abortion becomes pointless. We (in this discussion) cannot agree on the even the most foundational truths underpinning the issue. If for example we cannot agree on whether or not life is life or whether or not a person is a person, how could we ever come to agreement on the solution to this problem?
I can sort of see where you are coming from. I don't believe a fertilized egg is a person, or that it should be considered human life. I'm not sure where the dividing line on life or personhood should be, as being a sola scriptura guy, I find evidence for such is severely lacking prior to first breath. As such, I have no issues whatsoever when it comes for abortion to protect the health of the mother, or in cases of rape and incest, as contrasted with those who very strongly believe that a fertilized egg is fully human and should be considered a person and whether mom, or the baby, or both live or die should be left totally in God's hands.
I respect the writings of St Augustine on this, albeit despite prohibiting abortion, he denies personhood for the early stages of development. I concede the Didache explicitly condemns abortion, and as one of the earliest Christian writings, even if its not canonical, I don't think it wise to cast it aside.
That being said, can we both not agree that reducing the number of abortions would be a good thing, even though how we arrive at that position is different? The only thing solution wise where we might differ is that maybe you see 100% prohibition in all circumstances as being the only solution... and if that is the case, then no, we would not agree. My gut feel says otherwise.
