I also doubt he is willing to sacrifice much of his personal fortune. The fortunes of campaign donors on the other hand.....

As Christians we believe in forgiveness. We’re not pretending to be perfect so we can get our own planet with a hundred wives.

Honor once lost can be found again. If not then there is no hope for redemption, forgiveness, and transformation. Yet, I believe there is hope, I believe there can be an acceptance of personal responsibility for one’s failures...in that one can begin to find one’s honor again.

I doubt his wife would be happy to see his fortune gone too.

Newt's made some big mistakes, some were on purpose, and the affairs are terrible ...

Period.

Yet ... Newt's had the courage to publicly ask forgivness, and also publicly say that he's also asked Christ for forgiveness of his sins and transgressions ...




Michael, you're probably like me ... just an average guy ... getting through life ... raising a family ...

We both probably work 50 weeks in an office or drive a truck or build houses ...

You and I HONESTLY don't have a leg to stand-on when it comes to criticiszing Newt ... or Tiger Woods for their stupid immoral transgressions ...

Why ?

First, Christ commands us NOT to ...

Second, "IF" we were powerful or wealthy ... with SCORES of beautiful, intelligent, sensuous Women hounding us EVERY DAY for "incredible" sex ...

how long (precisely) would you be able to say "no" ?

weeks ? months ? years ?

what if your spouse (secretly) spurned you at home, treated you with scorn and disrespect at home, as you slept on the sofa (alone) for weeks at a time ?



You have to admit that it would be "very" difficult to turn-down the emotional affection and more offered by a BEAUTIFUL admiring woman ...

I know that I would have trouble ... I guess that's why The LORD has made either you or I as a "Donald Trump" character in life ... we simply couldn't survive (morally) ...




So let's cut Newt some slack here ... He's supposedly living as a man whose sins Christ has forgiven ...

Just like Christ does for us when we (momentarily) stop and wonder (for a micro-second) what an incredible time we'd have with the beautiful, smiling 30-something single girl over in the next-door checkout aisle at Home Depot ...

and Christ just then reminds us that we're guilty of adultery




This wasn't a lecture, just the truth ...



Best Regards,

Patton-at-Bastogne
