All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God says the holy scripture

For it is by grace that you are saved through faith says the holy scripture

I often find the largest break between RC church and Protestantism is the handling of sin. But God is clear all sin is a front to God without degree. Satan in his attempt work against the kingdom of heaven uses his weapons of doubt and derision. How can be hear the world of God from
A sinner says Satan. You see it isn’t genuine.

Discounting the faithful preaching of the gospels because it came a sinner would mean the faith cannot be handed down

This pastor will indeed have his judgment in heaven. On that day he will face his sins against God. But God alone has the power to set his sin apart from him and see him washed in the blood of the lamb into garments as white as snow.

For he is saved by Grace through faith and not the works of his hand. Just as any of us are sanctified but the confession that God so loved the world that he sent His only son that whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life

Debating the relative value of the confession of the pastor through the lens of his sin seems to take away from the only thing we sinners can do which is point to the Saving Word of God

I can’t help seeing it through the eyes of the girls that were impacted. I feel as if they were less valued than those intellectuals who asked hard questions. You are right though, we are all sinners. What if this had been in the distant past would we be considering it differently. Sad, makes me very sad.

The descriptions seem to be evidence of a true split personality. we and Ravi will get a new behavior mechanism along with a new glorified body. The new behavior mechanism will have no bend toward sin and certainly will not be fracturable.
