Pastor Admits To 'Sexual Incident' With A Minor, Gets Applauded By Congregation

[whitehall]

"When she was a High School student"? Not many of us would be able to withstand the High School morality test administered by bigoted left wing hypocrites. The dirty little secret is that left wing morality experts hold all the cards when they don't advocate the same moral standards that they attribute to selected obscure preachers.

A few things to note:

1. "more than 20 years ago" - this is said repeatedly and is meant to minimize what happened
   
2. he continues to call it a sexual "incident" rather than sexual assault
   
3. he says he took full responsibility for his actions, but what he did was actually illegal, and he did not take any take any legal responsibility
   
4. he says he shared every aspect of what he did with his wife before he asked her to marry him - the implicit framing here is that the issue is about sexual purity rather than sexual assault and abuse of power
   
5. he says "I never sought to cover this up" - but where in all his teaching about sexual purity has he admitted to sexually assaulting a minor under his spiritual care?
   
6. the lead pastor prays that God would touch the heart of the victim and "heal her of the pain that was caused from this sin 20 years ago" - notice again the minimizing use of the time frame, as well as the use of the word "sin"
   
7. the use of the word "sin" carries the subtle implication of her participation in a shared failure rather than her victimization
   
8. the lead pastor says "Guess what, this sin did not happen in the last couple days. This sin happened over 20 years ago. That does not minimize the sin." - I can't see why they would continue to emphasize how long ago this happened for any reason other than to minimize it
   
9. the lead pastor says, "none of us want anyone to throw a stone. Why? Because you never heal by hurting others." - the implication is that telling the truth is throwing a stone, and that asking for the truth to be told is hurtful

So what do you guys think about this?

It would seem consistent with Christian thought.


Jesus H. Christ pointed out back in the day, "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth"

The idea that people can never turn away from sin is a liberal one. The 1619 Lie that libs repeat, that America will always be shit because of slavery (which existed everywhere not just here) and no one can do anything about it stands in contrast.

See the difference, Christ died for our sins on the cross. The liberal messiahs like George Floyd and Michael Brown just died to no effect.

That's not what the 1619 Project asserts. You merely created a strawman argument and debated yourself.

A myth didn't die for anybody's sins.

The point he made does seem to explain liberal behavior, in it's vindictiveness and lack of forgiveness.

I think the average age of a first year high school student in that state is over the age of consent. According to the press release you supplied she was one year OVER the age of consent at 17.

So that makes it alright.

So what do you guys think about this?

I think it's a sin for which he will have to answer to God.

I also think some people allow this kind of thing to fester and ruin them. Many, if not most, 17-year old black American girls have at least one child. No father just a baby daddy. So if you feel like fretting yourself to death, there's something for you to worry about.

There are many 17yr old white girls who have a baby daddy as well, but does that have to do with Pastor Chickenfoot assaulting a child?
