That's not at all the same question you posed in the previous post. Vows to God about sin are impossible to keep. That was the entire point of the crucifixtion and resurrection. Political vows to the electorate are certainly possible to keep and I trust Newt to keep his word and not fall back into his old ways. Just as God has given him redemption, I feel I must as well. Trust, but verify, too. I guess my overriding concern here is that I personally think he's the best man for the job. You may think differently. That's okay. Right?
You say: "Vows to God about sin are impossible to keep." Do you include the marriage vows as well? "I vow to be faithful to my wife" -- impossible to keep? That's what I was referring to when I spoke of his vows to his Creator. If they're impossible to keep, should we dispense with the marriage vows?
I'm not trying to be combative here, because I certainly understand and embrace the reality of what the Bible teaches about redemption.
