Chris Broussard Calls T.D. Jakes Response to Sexual Allegations "Offensive"

In response to recent allegations casting innuendo about megachurch pastor T.D. Jakes' sexuality and accusing him of participating in sex parties hosted by music mogul Sean Combs, popularly known as Diddy, Jakes' said that if these allegations were true, all he had to do was repent and everything would be alright. Christian Fox Sports 1 analyst Chris Broussard argues that such a response is both unbiblical and "offensive."
"I didn't like the way he handled the situation at his church that first Sunday after the allegations were made. He said something to the effect of if he did commit these things, ... all he'd have to do is repent and plead the blood and all that, and he'd be forgiven," said Broussard in a post on Instagram Saturday.
Citing the requirements for leaders in the church from Titus 1, Broussard called Jakes' response "offensive" and unbiblical. He also stated that any pastor found guilty of sexual misconduct should not just repent, but they should be removed from their office or made to do so by the elders in the congregation they represent.
"That's offensive that you get up there [the pulpit] claiming to know the Word of God and say that all you got to do is repent as if we can just all live as unholy and unrighteous as we want and just repent. That's abusing the grace of God, and the grace of God is nothing to play with," Broussard asserted.
"I'm not saying he's guilty, Bishop Jakes. I'm just saying, if he is, then this is what should happen. So again, my concern is the Body of Christ. And the way that those of you believers out there, the way that you avoid getting fooled by a false teacher, a charlatan, the way you avoid getting sucked into a really bad situation, bad church situation, is to hold your pastors to the Word of God," he continued.
"What I just read in Titus, if your pastor is blatantly stepping outside of that, habitually stepping outside of that righteous, holy, self-controlled [character], then you need to jet. I'm serious," he added. "You need to get out of that church."
Jakes is the senior pastor of The Potter's House, a non-denominational megachurch. Jakes's church services and Evangelistic sermons are broadcast on The Potter's Touch. He is the author of many books and also produces films.
