Actually, I really did want an honest explanation. I couldn’t wrap my head around the concept. Thanks!

IMHO It’s odd to pick and choose which sins to chastise someone for.

Here is how I see it, applied to a COMPLETELY hypothetical example at our church (conservative, bible church):

Say there is a member named Bob (I just picked a name; I apologize to anyone at FR named “Bob”!). Say Bob is married. If Bob committed adultery, but was repentant, the church would forgive his sin, of course, as we all are sinners.

But if Bob was in a continuous process of committing adultery, openly displayed it at church, announced it and was proud of it, our church would have a big issue with Bob.
