that is a really sick question, but pretty much par for the course for a sanctimonium supporter.
Should being a sinner, going to God for forgiveness, seeking reconciliation, and making no excuses for your past behavior mean you have to pay for your sins for the rest of your life, because a bunch of holier-than-thou fundamentalists can't let you live your new live in Christ Jesus? Should it prohibit you from running for office? with all the stones you throw, you must really be sinless and perfect...
I’ll tell you what it means. We are forgiven by God and the one we wronged, but our stupidity from those sins must follow us. We make the best of it and get on with life.
Hopefully, we don’t goof it up so bad on more than one occasion. Newt did, and since it appears to be part of his character, it is more than reasonable for people to doubt his words now, when he was also professing Christ with the prior two marriages.
I can most definitely vote for Newt, but he has made his own bed on this and his other decisions. It’s a darn shame and we need people with his talents in public office.
