Chick, my Friend,
Just curious. If the article told us that a woman had an affair with her local grocer or pharmacists, and had to be tested for AIDS -- would YOU have posted that article on the Religion Forum?
OR, did you only post it here ONLY because the person who is supposed to be a Christian had an affair, possibly has AIDS, and committed this offense?
Not saying YOU are biased. But, would you have even noticed the article otherwise?
My Friend, what you offer as "your proof" that ALL CHRISTIANS are bad -- is really confirmation of what I have often stated:
1. Every single Christian is a sinner. But, if we have a true relationship with Jesus Christ -- we are "forgiven sinners."
AND,
2. Not everyone who wears a Christian hat (clergy or layman) is a true Christian who has a relationship with Jesus Christ.
So, while doing your best to trash the Christian faith -- you have only helped me validate the true nature of a Christian -- a born-again sinner who has been forgiven and washed clean by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Is this man a Christian? I cannot say. But, he is not showing ANY fruit of salvation.
A person, clergy or layman, who commits adultery, contracts AIDS, then continues to have adulterous relations DOES NOT display any signs of being a Christian -- just as an Episcopalian Bishop in New Hampshire who is living with his gay partner shows no signs of being a Christian.
A true Christian will be a "fruit producer" -- and neither that pastor nor the Episcopalian bishop are doing that.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
