What should we think? That this is none of our business?

Libs don't understand that getting knocked up out of wedlock is not a good thing, but that there is repentance, and then forgiveness. And then you move on, and make the best of it.

They like "moving on", don't they?

Yes or No.

what I find hillarious is that the dems keep saying she is not qualified for the job she is NOT running for. It is irrelevant.

Obama is now running against the VP position? weird.

Its confuses liberals because the Palins didnt react the way the cartoonishly hateful image of Christians, that liberals themselves made up, would have reacted.

As a Christian, here’s what I think.

There is no way I will ever congratulate her on sex outside of marriage. We don’t celebrate and appluad people for doing the wrong thing.

At the same time, she appears to be doing the right thing, having made wrong choices. She is being responsible, they are planning to marry, and have the baby. They appear to be repentant about it, and know they messed up. You do not need to take a heavy-handed approach with people who already know they have screwed up big time, but want to be responsible for what they have done. We can encourage them to make sure they do the right things, and we are glad her parents are giuding her and her boyfriend and encouraging them to do the right things.

We take no pleasure in their failures. Simply pointing them out is not the same thing as reveling in them and trying to destroy someone with their mistakes. Their hypocritical enemies, who defend those they like from intense scrutiny, and crucify others they hate for things they’d let their friends and allies off the hook for, will use this to destroy them. And this is the evil, the proud, a proud look the Lord despises.

No, it is all foolishness to them. And because of that, like the Irish Times article you posted said, Palin will never be acceptable to them.

> A friend asked me why evangelicals think it’s okay that Sarah Palin’s seventeen-year-old daughter got pregnant by her boyfriend. I think the exact wording was, “Why are we so excited about it?” Hmmmm. That’s not exactly the way I would put it.

If we were alive 2007 years ago, what would we have thought of Mary mother of Jesus? She was pregnant by the Holy Ghost “out of wedlock” to Joseph...

In the case of Mary, all was well so far as God was concerned.

In the case of Sarah’s daughter, what did Jesus have to say about the woman taken in adultry? About the Samaritan woman? About Mary Magdalene?

Grizzled Bear and I often have these “What Would Jesus Do?” discussions — I find them fascinating. And instructional.

Someone said on a thread here that if all the couples who were pregnant when they got married voted for McCain, he’d win in a landslide. Come on - she has a loving and supportive family, a committed fiance, and plans to marry and bring up the child. She’s young, yes; but she’s not a 9-year old forced to marry a 45 year old under the religion of pieces.

I would think that the operative phrase is "Go and sin no more."

Given the intention of Bristol and Levi to marrying each other and raising their child (with the support of the Palins), I think we don't have much to worry about here.

A general ping to folks with a religious interest.

Yes........Thank the MSM for creating the fodder for battle......

I'm not buying into it tho, that's why you won't get an argument out of me even tho you appear to want one.......

How's it going Diehard?

Clearly the daughter screwed up. She's not the first and surely won't be the last.

Almost every politician has a kid who screws up. What we need to watch is how it's handled. If Gov Palin tried to force her daughter into an abortion it would show her as a hypocrite. Needless to say, she didn't do that.

However, I refuse to draw any comparisons to Jesus or Mary in these situations.

What should we do? Well, I reflected on my past sins (ancient and recent) and regretted them all over again, and thanked God again for forgiving me.

And then I decided I was in no position to throw stones.
