[Luke 18:13] And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
[14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
That’s the thing.
They didn’t ask for forgiveness. They went from pedophile to pedophile looking for justification that what their son did was okay.
They allowed him to return, and he tortured his victims with incest jokes on TV. They allowed him back again.
They sought out fame and money, parading around, holding up their methods, which they knew were bad, as what God wants.
I’m a lot of things, and I am a sinner, but I’ll never claim to be more than I am. As a mother, if my child went out and hurt others like this, I would not put him in the spotlight.
