Gotta disagree. If he truly repented now, truly repented if guilty of this sin, those sins would be washed away.
Well, you can't be disagreeing since you are not addressing what the post actually said. God will forgive even deep depravity if a person truly turns away from it...but if he is guilty, he no longer fits the qualifications to be a pastor as taught in scripture. He has disqualified himself. And he would have biblically released his wife from her marriage vows. And he would still suffer earthly consequences and shame. A true repenter will suffer all of these consequences with grace -- knowing they are just consequences that serve as a deterrent to others.
And a repenter would not lie about it. So if he is guilty of this great depravitiy, he is also guilty of lying about it right now. That's not a repentent soul who lies to cover up his sin.
Let's just hope it isn't true.
In God's eyes, yes. However, sometimes when you sin, you have to pay the consequences.
A murderer may repent and go to Heaven, but they still have to go to jail on earth.
That is true. And then he should step down. No more leadership. Take up a broom or hammer and show that he understands that he has forfeited any prestigious position.
Of course, this all hinges on whether the accusations are true or a slander.
