BlueOne: No need to be insulting. And I do believe that Haggard is a hypocrite. So am I. So is every Christian I know. Praise be to God for his mercy in Jesus Christ!
My point was that the hypocrisy of fallen sinful humans just demonstrates that we are indeed sinful and in need of a savior. It testifies to what the Bible teaches. See the book of Romans - especially chapter 7.
And it is true that these guys have "followers". But they are wrong to follow a fallen human. The role of a pastor is to simply dispense God's word to the people. Period. To teach them the precepts and principles of the Bible. The error you make is in equating a personal integrity mistake of this individual with his teachings to his flock. It may invalidate his personal testimony and it may certainly dissillusion his flock and many others, but their hope needs to rest in the person of Jesus Christ, not a fallible pastor.
