If he wouldn’t keep his vow to his Creator, should we believe that he’d keep his vow to the voters?
Hell yeah!
Sinners need not apply!
Eff ‘em all (’specailly dem Kathlick mofos!)
Repenting is useless!
Screw the frikkin prodigal son - we’ve been perfect all along!
No one gets a second chance!
Irrelevant. His creator kept his promise to Newt. He died for his sin and in accepting that gift, Newt became justified in the eyes of God Almighty. That's enough for me. As the Bible passage goes: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Do you really want to go there? Everybody is fallible. Everybody has feet of clay. I'm a Calvinist, so I believe in the doctrine of universal and radical depravity of man. Even Christians sin. In my personal salvation, I did my part. I sinned. Jesus did his part, he gave his life for that sin. On that basis, I'm going to cut Newt a huge break on this topic. Remember, if you even think of the sin, it's the same as doing it. So which of you is blameless?
