Let’s just read the Bible, the ultimate and unique source of our faith:
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; (Titus 1:7, KJV)
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; (1 Timothy 3:3)
If a clergyman is hot-tempered, strikes or is violent, and loves money, he or she is already wrong. If they say they are upright in front of God, then they are just denying the Bible and God.
