Archbishop Earl Paulk fathered a child with his brother’s wife

What a crying shame!  The Associated Press reported early this morning that the 80-year-old Archbishop Earl Paulk is at the center of a sex scandal because he had sex with his brother’s wife and fathered a child by her.  It is reported that this is not the first, nor second, sex scandal involving Paulk, who is the leader of the suburban Atlanta megachurch, Cathedral of the Holy Spirit.  His secret was exposed by a recent court-ordered paternity test.  The son he fathered by his sister-in-law  (34-year-old D.E. Paulk, now the new leader of the church) was known publicly as Paulk’s nephew until the paternity test revealed this distrubing secret.  The court order came because of a current sex-for-salvation lawsuit that Paulk is now entangled with.  Both he and his brother, along with the church are being sued by Mona Brewer, a former church employee, who revealed that Earl Paulk manipulated her into a sexual affair with him from 1989 to 2003 by telling her that having sex with him was her only path to salvation.  Last January, in front of his church, the sexually philandering Paulk admitted to having the affair with Brewer.  In a disposition that branched from the lawsuit in 2006, the archbishop lied under oath and said that the only woman he ever had intercourse with outside of his marriage was Mona Brewer.  But, the court-ordered paternity test proved otherwise and show the shocking fact that he did have sex with his own brother’s wife.  After more than ten years of sex scandals and lawsuits involving Paulk (and his brother), this infidel is exposed. 

I find this to be absolutely ridiculous and disgusting.   If you assume or accept a position of leadership in the church and you cannot stick to the commitment because of your personal weakness, then go and find another profession or calling and stop soiling the Lord’s church and misleading His people.  And for those gullible enough to believe you can buy or sex your way into heaven by sleeping with a so-called leader, then I encourage you to get into your prayer closet as Jesus instructed in the New Testament–read your Bible and pray for understanding of God’s revelation.  The simple truth is, there are many honest and awesome pastors and church leaders, but we cannot ignore the unfortunate fact that there are also many modern-day false prophets, priest, and pastors who are pimping themselves on the pulpit either to solocit money, fame, or sexual gratification.  

Paulk’s exposure will certainly not be an isolated case.  Within a short time period, you’ll see many, many more false prophets and leaders being exposed.  After all, as the old adage states, “you cannot use a white sheet to cover black ink.”  Eventually, what is hidden will be exposed.  The Bible states it in this manner, “But there were also false prophets among the people even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.”  [2nd Peter 2:1 NKJV]
