What if I discover that my pastor is a sociopath, should I stay in the church or leave? A sociopath is a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behaviour. A pastor by the nature of the calling and responsibilities of the office should be a shepherd who feeds people with the knowledge of God and leads them to Christ-likeness. According to Hebrews chapter 13, verse 17, such a person will someday give an account and must therefore provide godly leadership in Hebrews chapter six, verse 12. This is what the apostle Paul many, many Bible scholars believe that he wrote this epistle to Hebrew church. These words it says in Hebrews six, 12, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Then in Hebrews chapter 13, verse seven, it says, remember those who rule over you who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct, the scriptures, tell us the kind of spiritual leaders to follow and exactly what about them we should imitate be imitators of those who through faith and patience, inherit the promise of God or the promises imitate their faith, follow their faith while observing the outcome of their conduct or their behaviour or their character, the outcome of it. You should be observing it. So all of us should be observing. Our leaders are spiritually doing very closely.


We reserve the right as children of God to stop following leaders whose conduct and behaviour are contrary to the doctrine of Christ. Praise God.
