# 9: The Dr Patels of the Church


The church is a hospital, right. it's not there for the well but for the sick. That's what Jesus said, more or less.

The Church treats spiritual sickness: rebellion against God, heresy, moral confusion, sin. That kind of stuff.

Well, what do we think of a doctor who doesn't believe in germs, "I don't get germs." A doctor who doesn't wash his hands. A doctor who spreads infection from one patient to another and botches surgery left, right and centre. People die. What kind of doctor is he?

That's right, the go to gaol kind of doctor.

What do you think of a reverend who doesn't believe in sin, "That's OK, just be a nice person." A pastor who won't teach the Bible. A pastor who spreads the sin from one patient to another and invites sin into his church. Who leaves the disease of sin active in his patients and let's them face God with no warning. What kind of minister is he?
