I hope he serves the least amount of time legally possible, and then gets out and serves quietly as a chaplain in a rescue mission somewhere without ever gracing another national conference or Bible college class platform.
Naive candidate number one : Tom Brennan.

How in the world could you possibly get that out of my post? Honestly, sometimes I think the reading comprehension level around here is daycare equivalent...

Quote from: qwerty on February 06, 2013, 10:10:39 AM..thinking folks...Nice disclaimer!It is obvious many posting here want Schaap to be "finished" serving God. At least that's my perception. Thankfully that's not always God's perception. Several in Scripture have done "worse" (if you can qualify levels of sin) and continued on, but of course they paid a price for their sin (David comes to mind).Would anyone here grumble if Schaap were to minister to those inside prison walls or is he "finished" there as well? I often wonder if Joe Combs is helping others in prison. I hope so.Having done prison/jail work for over 10 years, I've seen many "fallen" believers who have helped others in prison. While I do believe that Schaap is finished in the pastorate, I thank God that He will (if Schaap's heart is right) probably give him opportunity in prison, maybe even preach in the prison chapel or leading a Bible study. Will we complain if that becomes the case? I trow not.Most of our complaints are fleshly in nature. If we were in Schaaps shoes, we would want mercy and grace from God. Why would we deny him that?
A lot depends on how Schaap responds to this....and if the real crime comes to light. I can not put my finger on it, but there is something not right with this whole thing and personally I think there are some in a position of authority at FBCH that are still keeping their lips shut. There are definitely some questions with regards to finances/spending/debt that have yet to be answered. The FBI spent quite a bit of time combing through things at the church, including the financials, then the plea comes in like gangbusters and it all stops. There is no explanation to the members to what happened to the millions that DeCoster gave, no explanation as to how Schaap could afford the Crete house, the expansive remodeling at the Dyer house, why the Deacons allowed things to be so lackadaisical that millions could be spent without inquiry, why Lapina said what he said to the members on Sunday morning that was proven to be an outright lie and the start of a cover-up.
