DRAMA IN THE CHURCH: Temptation Ended His Marriage, Nearly Destroyed The Ministry Of Pastor Bryant

Pastor Jamal Bryant's fall from grace began with an extramarital affair that tore up his congregation and destroyed his marriage. I went to his mega church, the Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, Maryland, to talk about the affair that ended his marriage, disrupted his congregation, almost destroyed his ministry; but changed him as a man and as a preacher.

I grew up going to church but no longer attend as an adult. I refuse to follow pastors who have no reverent fear of God and refuse to deal with leaders who have no understanding of the significant impact that their failures have on those who are seeking God. It's interesting that they can tell everybody else what's right but they themselves can't follow that path.

[@Kozette88]

sxyldy7 I still believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and still follow Christianity. I simply don't believe I or anyone else should follow false teachers who, for the most part, have franchised religion to achieve their financial and personal goals. Pastors, priests, etc....have largely sold out for their 30 pieces of silver. They are clever with words, educated but have no wisdom, and puffed up and arrogant. I have neither time for them nor for their excuses. In the same way that no credible lawyer will go in front of the court and claim "well....I messed up on that case because the law isn't through with me yet", pastors should stop pretending they can't follow the teachings of God.

It is God whom says his people need a preacher sent for them to hear(understand)him Romans 10. that we must assemble together(the Church is the congregation) Hebrews 10. so allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to a Temple to Worship and fellowship under an anointed Pastor(Male only according to scriptures).

[@sweetsugar1014]

I HAVE A FUNNY FEELING THAT IF THE SHOE WAS SWITCHED AND IT WAS HIS WIFE WHO CHEATED IN THE MARRIAGE- EVERY 'SAINT' IN HIS CHURCH WOULD BE YELLING: 'SLUT, THAT WHORE' THAT JEZEBEL' HOW COULD SHE HURT THE "MAN OF GOD" LIKE THAT?!!!! SHE WOULDN'T LIVE IT DOWN. SO WHY SHOULD HE? So, when MEN tell others to just 'lay off' Pastor Bryant b/c he apologized for his wrong- then I have just one thing to say to that.....would you MEN lay-off his wife if she was the one who was wayward. Nope! You would encourage him to get divorced and use a scripture like: "Remember when the king divorced Vansti and married Ester. Pastor Bryant man, leave that hoe and go find your queen Ester". Oh, yeah, his poor wife would be called a 'hoe' from every corner of the church, esp. the deacon and ministerial board. That's what would be said against his poor wife if she were the perpetrator in this story. So, like I say.....women get no slack, however he does b/c he's a man. And of course, he's apologizing- he's on camera. He's in the spotlight. But what about the many times he came home from whoring and showered, slid into bed beside his 'hurting' wife, and never said 'I'm sorry baby, I'll stop". But, b/c the camera's rolling and public' media has placed his infidelity on display, now he's repentant. Basically, b/c he has to. Politically speaking, repenting is just the' right' thing to do since everybody's watching!

[@wakeupjudah219]

Sounds like youre an angry and bitter woman with unforgiveness in your heart.

[@sweetsugar1014]

Roosevelt Pope Aw, that's good Mr.Pope...you got SOMETHING out of my post (angry and bitter). Well, at least you're partly on track. Now, let's work with those two words shall we. Yep, I'm angry b/c men are handled/treated much different from women in the church. Men have a lot more linency.; women don't. I'm bitter b/c NO ONE cares do change that. Everybody just goes along with that program. One church I attended, the pastor was HIGHLY esteemed and 'anointed'. Well, one day he disfellowshipped a young lady b/c she was pregnant w/no husband. She left the church. Years later, it came out- HE was the father and he sent her away before she could have the baby and the church see some resemblance. However, looking back, when he disfellowshipped her- MOST of the church 'gawked' at her and avoided her- siting her as 'unsaved' and 'hypocrite'. But, when some found that it was the pastor- they just shook their heads, but remained loyal to that church. (We subscribe to the saying: 'Well, he's a man-he has NEEDS- but a woman doesn't get any 'EXCUSES'--instead, she's just a sneaky, unsaved, hypocritical whore in the church. Seen this type of thing often throughout the years, so now you tell me- wouldn't you be bitter or angry if you were a woman and see men go unpunished and 'EXCUSED'in many, many churches and the woman gets STONED.

[@emilejeremykatsman628]

How many hours a day or week was he praying, after talking a lot the holy spirit gets very weakened. A prayer must be held alone with God after church service, It sounds VERY TECHNICAL AND IT ALMOST IS. That is the way the holy spirit works, because flesh pumps it out by time and actions especially TALKING. Prayer is the basis of anything in Christian life. I still remember 40 day pray and fast by a woman, who was praying for a husband, and guess what, she found one and never has been happier in her lifetime. Holy spirit can join two people, but you gotta keep praying, so the holy spirit keeps that connection between you too. Prayer is the basics. BACK2BASICS!

I was 17, he was 20. We went on our first date, shared a first kiss. That was a Saturday night. He drove me home, I called the boyfriend and dumped him, no explanation. Did I handle it wrong? YEP! Do I regret it? NOPE! Fact remains, in 27 years of marriage, the only man I've opened my legs to, is my husband, I love him, more important I RESPECT him.

I personally experienced the wisdom of his father, Bishop Bryant, in a meeting about 16 years ago. Jamal is gifted to have such wisdom a phone call away. His dad's consideration of "are you preaching for applause or because you were called...." is a question every minister, regardless of calling, will have to ask themselves at some point.

I remembered Benny Hinn left his wife, and he lost everything. God told him to go get her back, even after the Betty Ford center

[@marysebean2177]

Christianity is a game stop pretending that the Most High is in this mess. Learn your Bible follow the laws , statures, and commandments. Repent and be baptize under the real true God of Israel. We Blacks, Hispanics, and Natives. Stop these made up religions. The Most High gave us the Holy Bible.

I think him talking about it openly is amazing on his behalf. God still forgives, heals, and transforms his people. Even though his son isn't like yours doesn't mean that he isn't forgiving and it doesn't mean that we can't be forgiven. So many Christians are so critical of others. Where is the love which God has commanded all of us to do.

He truly never repented by purging and cleansing his heart of sin. A revolving door-sin, repent, confess cycle. He was a slave to sin before he was married, or else his issues he's experienced would never of occurred.

[@annmoses2167]

Powerful testimony! You can't take Pastor Bryant's anointing away! God will give him double for his trouble. Amen!

[@erictorres7791]

"God will give him double for his trouble?" Since when does God bless our sin and wickedness? For sure God will forgive, but sin has to take its toll and give its due compensation...heart break, sorrow, spiritual death, etc. With that mentality, its like saying "lets keep sinning so God can keep blessing"-Sorry, ..read the scriptures.

[@vishmael1028]

Let's start our own church, the church of Inner City Economics, where we tradesmen, Carpenters, Mechanics, Engineers, Accountants, Gardners, Doctors, Lawyers gather to build our communities back up with viable real skills, instead of preaching from a dead book, Noah not comming back, Jesus not comming back, Abraham not comming back, why are we fantasy rolling around with history stories that year after year keep us broke? Props to the churches that empowers individuals with future skills for self sustainment, but the rest of these only open on Sunday pimps can disappear.

[@kathrynwilliams3722]

If Jesus is not coming back than why have a church at all. If he is not the center or head of it all your skilled workmen will not help anybody, it will fall and fail. All u can do is keep urself straight, u and ur household and all that will listen and pray for those that don't in hope that one day they will and leave the rest to God. Now, if you are a unbeliever why go into a church with the attitude that ur going to do this or that and leave either God or his son out, they go hand in hand.

[@truthbetold3550]

Temptation cannot not make you sin. But if and when you GIVE INTO THE TEMPTATION, then you cross the line and sin. But that is on YOU. What a cowardly cop out to blame temptation for HIS sins! How is that taking responsibility for his actions?
