what... you’ve committed adultery too? Sounds like your laying the groundwork for exposing your own moral delinquency in the hopes that it will pad your landing on impact. I have no idea who this “wonderful, tender, wise, empathetic” man is, all I know is that nothing you have said shows any since of proportion for what this man has done to his wife and family... I’m sick and tired of the “important” figures of our society living big till they get caught, then they send their sycophants out to plead forgiveness on their behalf. Like I said, I could care less if he got run over by a truck, that would likely be less painful for those around him than the pain he’s inflicted. I’ll bet his mistress felt the same as you.
The bible says: But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28 So yes EVERYONE has commited adultery, if you feel you haven’t then: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:8. We all need to pray for Jesus to come again or take us, but until them for Hime to make us more like Him everyday.
Having gone through the whole adultery situation myself, I can certainly understand the pain his family is feeling to depths of my bones. But Christ has shown me a different perspective, and one that only those who have gone through it can ever imagine. Jesus will show him and his family how to handle it and it will take time, if indeed that is even the situation. When he comes out of it, I for one would be interested how God guided him and what He has taught him on the matter. All I know is that Pastor Paul was a great tool in Jesus’ hand when I was going through the worst time of my life up to this point. I will pray mightily for him and his family!
