re: #53 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
God forgave him. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to suffer the consequences. The Bible never says that God’s forgiveness is a get out of jail free card.
Actually it sort of does (depending on who’s interpreting it). Consequences in this life? Maybe so. But he’s “saved,” so he gets to Heaven.
Meanwhile for me it’s bring your own bar-b-que briquettes, no matter how good of a person I am. It never occurred to me to be a hypocrite after forcing someone to have an abortion to save my career, or taking advantage of my professional position to have sex with people I am not married to (what was that commandment about adultery Representative Hypocrite)?
