How to tell the pastor without offending him?
My brothers as well as sister go to church, though we exclude to. we do not determine with a infancy of a things a infancy of pastors says/do. The priest asked my brother, since we do not similar to starting to church. How can we discuss it him, we do not similar to starting since we do not determine with what he (including alternative pastors) says/does but offending him which much?

Just say it plainly & if your intentions were as clear as your words were then I doubt the pastor will take it as an insult .

Say what you said to us and make sure you say it calmly and respectfully.

Tell him the truth. In many cases, honesty is the best policy.
Say something along the lines of "I’m sorry but I just don’t agree with your views." That’s really all you need.
If he keeps persisting and pressuring you then you’ll just have to walk away. There are some people out there who refuse to tolerate different beliefs, and the best thing to do with those type of people is not to argue but just walk out.

"I don’t like going because I don’t agree with what he (including other pastors) says"
That is the answer. Be brave.

As you stated is fine. Say I choose not to go because I do not agree with your teachings.

If your pastor is a real "man of God", he’ll understand and not take it offensively. If he does get offended, then you have a good reason for not going.

In a respectful tone tell him that you do not agree with him on certain issues.

Well……pastors at my church actually love when people come and talk to them about what they dont agree on or when you catch thier mistake becauce they want to become better at teaching the people so this is really helpfull so i guess if you be polite about it they should take it quite well

You say: "I don’t agree with what [you](including other pastors) say/do" when asked.
You don’t have to be angry or mean. You don’t like their position and there is nothing wrong or offensive about that.
Telling him so IF HE ASKS is not offensive at all. Telling him so if doesn’t, well that is offensive. So long as he asks, in fact, telling him your opinion is an act of respect if anything. You have taken the time to answer him rather than ignore him.

Don’t be afraid go ahead and talk with the pastor, he will not be offended, they educated people and he knows how to deal with the situation.
The truth will set you free.

no Pastor or Priest will never accept a correction
they felt superior and don’t accept what children say
while the Bible says that: "we must be as child"
they preach correction, but they don’t correct themselves
