We’re not talking about what they COULD DO later- we’re talking about what they ARE doing now- Of course they can ask for forgiveness- that isn’t the issue- IF Ted is innocent- they are destroying a man and his family and 5 women NOW and doing so giddily and with great fervor- and God declares such tights an abomination- Don’t try to justify present behavior by stating they can later ask for forgiveness- this behavior NOW isn’t justifiable! so i stand by my post-
You are condemning people while at the same time saying “If this isn’t true”. If it isn’t true those who thought it was simply believed what they were told. Believing a lie is not a sin.
