UPDATE: After we published this video, the (now former) pastor told us that we needed to take down the video or he’d get his “attorney involved.” He was also very insistent that he resigned and was not fired. We’ve updated the description accordingly.

Just because you believe in a fairytale, that doesn’t make you a good person
Driving with no licence is a stretch to call criminal imo.
In the UK it’s an “offence”.
You aren’t considered a criminal per se
Claiming he’s a pastor isn’t the flex he thinks it is. It would make me more suspicious knowing he’s a snake oil salesman and a charlatan 🤷🏻♂️🐍
Tbh if someone told me they were a pastor I'd be MORE suspicious of them, not less. Positions of leadership and power tend to attract people who lack moral decency.
Lmao for him to know about this to sue you guess he must be a fan
The worst people are found in the Churches. Christianity doesn’t seriously require that you work on yourself as an individual. You can do the most atrocious crimes, as long as you ask for forgiveness on your death bed, up to Heaven you go. It isn’t about who is a genuinely good person, it’s about who can praise God, without question, the most. You can be the kindest soul, if you don’t accept Jesus, you’re going downstairs. He already paid the price for all their sins, just believe and be saved. That’s why I left, the system is not fair. Just look at the deeds of some Old Testament Heroes.
Ahh yes, the satisfaction of knowing someone's full of sht, and the video showing it. Spectacular
the Bible literally says to not trust false prophets, this is why i live my live like one of the old testament pastors and just study my bible and talk with God, every time i sit in a church it feels like im having my pockets run by the church because churches dont ask for tithes, they demand them, and when you are only supposed to be donating if you can, i came from a poor house where my mom should have really kept tithes, but she kept donating money she couldnt afford to because the church took advantage of her
Anytime someone says, "I'm a Christian" or "I'm a pastor", I am immediately more suspicious of that person. That literally doesn't make a difference as evidenced by this video.
I really wanted to believe about the cards… and then he had to literally show he was full of shit… I’m not religious but I do believe I giving the benefit of the doubt and the good in people but if your gonna blatantly show me your not how can I even try to defend you
Scary how he is just so comfortable lying. Mark and avoid. Do not make him Pastor or a leader in the Church.
Thou shalt not… Fill in the blanks, poor ex pastor Matt. Like all those super-rich evangelical "tithing" grifters. They don't even believe in God! It's why I pray at home.
He had me fooled in the beginning.
It’s a rule at this point. If you believe that you are always forgiven by god, you don’t seem too keen on following your own ethical and moral standards.
Matthew Anthony DeCola is the name. Illinois is the place.
He’s a thief and a liar.
SUE AWAY YOU DEGENERATE HYPOCRITE. WE CAN DRAG ALL THIS BACK OUT AND SORT THROUGH IT AGAIN.
"I was going to put them back… and I also decided to go a run through a field. Perfectly normal. I have mentioned I am a pastor?"
Wow, he's really bad at this. Bad at stealing. Bad at talking his way out of this. Bad at not bringing more attention to his situation.
Edit: 4:36 Oh and gluttony. Amazing job "pastor".
"WE REACHED OUT TO THE PASTOR FOR COMMENT! HE DECLINED TO RESPOND!" Im dead man
So he's not only a bad Pastor, hes a bad thief as well. If I have to come pick up our child from the grocery store cause you STOLE in front of him, you are sleeping at your parents house.
🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾😖😖☹️☹️
George Santos’ relative?
This was a lot more entertaining than the title suggests. I kept seeing the title but never watched it until now.
Excellent comments at the end!
WHAT SPORT CARDS?
He took the first officer literally when they told him "it's no big deal the store rarely shows up to court so they let you go"
Dude says he's a pastor like that's a defense
I guess he was absent on the day they covered "Thou shall not steal" in pastor school
I love it when people who make a living telling other people how to live “morally” get their comeuppance while performing criminal acts. Hypocrite.
👀
If someone states that they are a pastor, politician, police officer from another location or a judge (including relatives of same), I'd be looking at them extra hard these days.
Hardcore kleptomaniac. Even after getting arrested the first time, he still couldn't stop. Imagine how many times he must have gotten away with it!
Tells lies for a living.
This is so peculiar, stealing small stuff from the supermarket. Is he a kleptomaniac?
Pastor has a warrant. Guess they should have checked his background before hiring.
So… sometimes Im extremely tired and Im in a lot of pain and my child is abnormally hyper while we are checking out. And I will accidentally forget or miss ringing up something. Im stopped amd asked for my reciepr or I realize before I leave, I apologize – pay for it, and go on with my life.
It's that simple.
Pastor, you need to repent. You are a liar and thief.
With pastors like this, who needs satan?
7:47 Liar, liar..pants on fire….🔥
😂
A pastor committing a crime doesn't surprise me a bit. It's all a con game anyway.
