Sin is sin, God does not punish one sin more than another. Rick is a sinner just like the rest of us. We all fall in different ways and Christ is faithful to forgive ALL sins. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judges, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”. Mt 7:1-2
So there’s no difference between Hitler and Mother Teresa? God does make a difference between sins, at least as far as this life goes. I’m sure you would judge between having a normal decent family move in next door and a man that’s on the sex offenders list.
Seriously, that’s your argument? GRACE covers all SIN, but you must receive Christ as your Savior, the atonement for your sin, the giver of grace for your forgiveness. Newt has stated many times that he knows that he sinned, sought forgiveness and reconciliation with God and received it. And yet people like you want to continue to hold that sin against him. If you do not believe in forgiveness for Newt (how can you, a mere man or woman, judge a man’s true level of repentance?) then how can you believe in forgiveness for yourself? Hypocrisy about grace is what keeps so many people from coming to Christ.
If you want to disagree with Newt about his political positions and use that as an argument against him, fine.
And,do you honestly believe that Hitler trusted Christ as his Savior? Every one WILL be judged according to his or her own faith in Christ.
