Bless you Ted, I'm familiar with the Biblical call to forgiveness and I don't know that there are any Christians who haven't or wouldn't forgive you. Seven times seventy. But I'm not so familiar with this "restoration" thing you speak of. Whatever it is apparently you think it means you should be instantly whisked back to your Multi-million dollar Mega Church pastorate and set as an example for millions of Christians. All without demonstrating any real fruit of repentance. Let it go. Return to Jesus as a suffering servant and forgiven sinner, rejoicing in the precious gift you have received and content to accept whatever God's will is for your mission during the rest of your visit here in the world.
I understand Jim Bakker is living quietly and working humbly in the back ground at some inner city mission his kid is involved with...at least when I last read of him some years ago...what he’s doing now i don’t know.
