Well of course you haven’t. I’ll bet you’re very careful in that regard, even erasing the porn from your computer every time you shut it down.
You are talking about God. That is VERY different from me. So if you forgive the pedophile and you don’t let him into your home with your kids is that wrong? Of course not.
Your equivalence is a fault one.
And I still will never vote for Gingrich.
Samson paid a heavy price. Blindness, etc.
So did David, his son died.
Moses, for striking a rock instead of speaking to it to supply water, was not allowed to enter the promised land.
Things to consider.
You are of course 100% correct - but I mention a couple of ideas that allow me to stand by my point:
They were all still used mightily - and Newt has already paid some heavy prices for some of his transgressions as well.
Interesting discussion BTW....
None any where near what the people I mentioned experienced.
My point is that his past may prevent him from becoming President.
Here’s an interesting site for a bio of Gingrich

Odd when you were racing around here trash talking everyone not Newt, never heard a word of complaint about “circular firing squads”
Guess is is only helping the enemy when we ask tough questions about your St Newt hmm?
His past may indeed keep him from becoming President. Or not. From a Biblical perspective, you could make both cases. I humbly submit both are possible and simply disagree with those who say that his past is an automatic disqualifier.
I would also point to the fact that there is a lot of good in his past. In fact, in all of his PC or liberal dalliances, none of it led to substantive negative change. Meanwhile, the Contract w America congress led to some great positive change.
Love the way the Newtbots want to rewrite history and assign credit to Newt for things he was only marginally involved in.
Then they want to just skip right past the point that his supposed accomplishments are all almost 20 years in the past while his transgressions are all much more recent.
I was disappointed that he did not follow through on all of it.
It's too bad he allowed himself to be pushed out of the speakership, and then resign congress after just being elected again.
As far as his liberal “dalliances,” I think they are very important.
I think if he is nominated that Obama will pee his pants at the thought of debating Gingrich. The sissy will probably not grant debates.
: > )
I agree with most of that...
You’re free to stay off the forum if you feel nauseus.
LOL, oh OK
heh
>>> Youre free to stay off the forum if you feel nauseus. >>>
Yep. And I am free to stay on and put up with the nausea, and tell you that you too are free to stay away if my nausea bothers you.
God hates divorce, yes, but the final straw for not forgiving Israel was when their streets flowed with the blood of the innocent during their child sacrificing days. Judgment was postponed but not cancelled.
Vote pro-life.
Just because we all sin does not mean we turn a blind eye to sin. For many people Newt's personal lack of self control and repeated unfaithfulness is cause for concern on how they as his voters will be treated after the election is all done.
Attacking someone over those concerns is not going to make them go away.
Your nausea does not bother me. Go ahead knock yourself out.
