And if his daughter had told him she was a prostitute he would have changed his views on Adultery.
And if his wife had been picked up for shoplifting he would have changed his views on stealing.
Jesus warned us that there would be times when we would have to choose between our love for our children and our love for Him.
This man’s choice not only put his own eternal life in Jeopardy but also those with whom he was charged with shepherding.
His choice to love his sinful child more than Christ could spell the destruction of both of them as well as many members of his congregation.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be in his shoes at the Judgment. To whom much is given.....
Excellent point!
Because we are all sinners, we are all going to do things that are in contradiction to God's Law and with what our parents and pastors have taught us. That has NEVER meant that someone should change their definition of sin just because someone they love is guilty of a sin.
Moral relativism is quite possibly Satan's most successful tool since the Garden of Eden.
