One of the first lines of defense for a preacher or leader under fire from the congregation is David’s famous statement, “Touch not the Lord’s anointed.” This is used to prove that the preacher or leader, assumed to be "the Lord’s anointed”, is beyond criticism, rebuke, or human control.
Fearful saints are often cowered into silence and subjection even when they are 100% convinced the pastor is wrong.
Can David’s statement be legitimately used in this manner by pastors today?
Read the article and see:
Touch Not The Lord's Anointed Catch Cry
Why have "elders/pastors" used ...“touch not the Lord’s anointed...” as fence to protect them? Could it be that they are unable to answer questions and respond to disagreements, and so, to protect themselves, have outlawed the very act of questioning itself!
I wonder how many elders/pastors have used David’s words to maintain their own authority even at the expense of the real truth.
