Just to be clear, this is not *THE* R.C. Sproul, but his son, right?

RC Junior, correct.

So why was he suspended? Wasn't he destined to do this? Are they saying that God made a mistake in His decision to have RC visit that web site?

Proverbs 26: 4-5

However, at least he wasn’t cheating on his wife.

Adultery in his heart, with someone elses wife (who was far more likely to be a bogus account).

Correct, his son as in not Joe Biden but his son.

You can’t tell the difference between a man and his son, and yet you expect us to take your word on spiritual matters?!?!?!

GUESS AGAIN!

You just discredited yourself forever on FR and destroyed any remnant of credibility you may have had left.

RE: Will Ligonier go down the hole too?

R.C. Sproul Jr. does not represent everything Ligonier stands for.

One momentary moral lapse does not destroy the work of a whole organization.

One is RC Senior, the other is RC Junior. That is the difference.

Precisely my point

RE: What is the difference ?

You don’t know the difference between a father and his son?

Is there a difference between Samuel and his sons?

If I correctly understand it, "signed up" means "looked at the site," as it appears Mr. Sproul, Jr., did. It's not surprising that many people would be curious enough to take a look, after all the publicity the last couple of weeks.

Adultery of the imagination.

Yes, at most, except perhaps for a few men who hooked up with prostitutes on the site or found relationships with other men.

He answered you.

You do not want an explanation you want a fight and in his wisdom he answered you properly.

You don’t know the difference between a father and his son?

When the father gives the son the same exact name, the difference is an 'S' vs. a 'J.'

Is there a difference between Samuel and his sons?

None was named "Samuel Ben Samuel" but you raise an interesting point about fathers who assist their sons' religious employment.

And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
First Samuel, Catholic chapter, Protestant verses one to three,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James


Alas, the vanity of men

I do want an explanation. No Reformed has ever been able to answer that question. Answer it seriously and I will not argue.

He admits he gave that group his email address in August 2014 and proffers that he is voluntarily admitting his sin in repentance in August 2015, a year later. What could have happened to prompt such remorse, or fear of discovery ? Josh Duggar ?

Is he suspended with pay ? I suppose a man's gotta earn a living.

Since when has that stopped anybody from pontificating?
