BTW, I noticed you didn't answer my question about Hal Lindsey. Do you think his propensity to multiply wives should have any bearing on his standing or acceptance within the "Christian" community?
Yes.
"should have any bearing on his standing or acceptance within the "Christian" community?"
Is his sin any different or worse than what we all do every day? He should lose any platform or audience or public hearing but his acceptance or not should be determined by how we deal with anyone who is living in sin (present lawyers excepted).
I could well imagine that God's perspective on Lindsey's grevious marital stuff is somewhat different.
. . . as it was vis a vis the woman caught in adultery and her critics.
I'm also confident that God is well able to teach Hal whatever lessons from all those struggles that God finds it a priority for Hal to learn in this life.
