I haven’t lived a perfect life. I’m as guilty as sin. The difference is I repent and want to warn others.

Christ didn’t ignore sin out of fear of offending people. Paul didn’t ignore unrepentant sin in the Corinthian church. I don’t claim to be like either of them, but I honestly do not understand why forgiveness has been distorted to mean we’re supposed to ignore sin.

I know self professed Christians who turn a blind eye to fornication while they condemn homosexuality. Fornication may not be depraved like homosexuality, but both are evil acts that ignore God’s will.

Necessarily what you or I may post on FR is unlikely to come to Miss Palin's attention. The eternal disposition of her soul is not within your sphere of influence or mine. That is first and foremost up to her. It may be something to be influenced by those close to her and whom she loves and respects. From all accounts she comes from a "Bible believing" family and likely has a pastor who might effectively advise her (although they seem to have failed so far).

As to homosexuals and others who are as attached to perversions, they are specially depraved. They need to stop.

I and my wife taught our children that when you sin it becomes easier to sin next time until you are dealing with a sinful habit and when you resist sin it will be easier to resist next time until you have the habit of virtue.

I also told my daughters that whatever happened in their lives, whatever sorrow, whatever their mistakes and sins, I was still their father and my wife their mother and they could bring it to us. The one thing we were not prepared to cope with would be any of them sneaking off to an abortion mill to keep us or anyone from knowing of a pregnancy. They are all in their twenties now and we have never had to deal with that. Our love was unconditional however.

Some here have climbed into their pulpits to denounce this young woman as a "slut." I would not do that if I were her father and I hope you would not either. Instead, I will do the only thing I can do and pray that she better conform her life to the will of God and learn to know Him, love Him and serve Him in this world and be happy forever with Him in the next. That is Christian love. Of the early Christians during the Roman persecutions, it was said: You will know the Christians, they are the ones who love one another.

Also, nice works better than not nice.
