Haggard Scandal

Jar, your looking more like the sickest of psycos with every elapsing minute. God have mercy (and I do say it with extreme difficulty) on your black soul.{AbE} This is it folks. We've been over it all over the years. The fine intellectual arguments, the debate, the argument, the points sharply tuned, the rebuttals equally so. To arrive at the above.This is the blackest, most ugly statement I have seen in all my time here bar none. We all know what we are capable of and if we were 'caught' doing it then 288 years would have to apply to us to. You either know that or you don't - I cannot help you there.This is sin demonstrating how vile it is. The only thing is that you can see it too. Don't concentrat on who said it. Concentrate on what was said. I don't condemn Jar for saying what he said. He just brought the pimple of ugliness that is sin to the yellow, puss- filled surface that allows us all to see it (sin) for what it is. Look at it: are you repelled? If you are (and I dearly hope you are) then what is said is the most convincing thing I have seen here for the argument for sin. The Bible says that it has infected you, me, Faith and all the rest of mankindYou must be repelled. If you are you now have a glimpse as to why God is repelled. If you are not, then God have mercy on your soul too.

A Christian turns (I suspect) out to be a sinner. Big deal...

RAZD:If nemesis_juggernaut's hypothesis were true then there should be fewer christians in jail than in the general population, and there isn't: there may even be more.

Haggard won't be hung by his own standard, but God's.

[Billy Graham] responded, (and I paraphrase) "There are thousands of airplanes, some big, some small. They fly thousands of miles and perform all kinds of functions flawlessly, some mundane, others grand... But let one grand jumbo jet crash, and the whole world is gawking at the casualties."
