Notice it is barely in the conversation today, whether about identity politics, or about the sins of the Left. If you are or were a racist, then racist you forever are. Sexist too I suppose. There just isn't an emphasis on repentance. Likewise, while there some vague talk of people who are gay somehow being devout, there is scant little talk about their need to repent. It's as if that little part of our faith has dropped by the wayside, one way or another.

I'd be very surprised if the American Bible Society excludes anybody who's ever had sex outside of marriage from working there, as opposed to just people who are presently living lives of habitual fornication.Gaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683100808581061355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-14453007496992224432018-06-01T08:56:59.767-04:002018-06-01T08:56:59.767-04:00Fixed.

By that requirement, David would be in trouble (he wasn't married to Bathsheba at the time) but the others were married to their wives. (well let's set aside Jacob and his wive's servants for the moment)<br /><br /><i>All the while, of course, ignoring the fact that while we imagine such tactics will somehow convert the Left, it is the Left that is actively and militantly working to convert the Faithful. And, if I may say so, doing a bang-up job.</i><br /><br />That's chilling in its accuracy. And a good line.Nate Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630873800235819300noreply@blogger.com
