He was no less guilty of a sin 99.9 percent of us have done that is unless you don't understand just what that sin actually is. His sin was not taking another ones spouse NOR cheating on his own. His sin was an impure thought he did not follow through on. As such his sin should have been between himself and The Lord. It was no one elses businesses and caused needless pain to others making it public. All he needed was confessing it to The Lord in private, changing his thoughts { also known as repenting}, and getting some professional help so he can get on own with his life and for him it sounds like a wife down the road would be a good idea. But women who can take the stress of being a ministers wife are not found everywhere.
Of course he followed through on it or we would not even be discussing it. He left an email trail and made a public statement after blogging twice and lying about it.

The more I read about the family business at Ligonier the less I like it. Hiring family members with lavish perks and salaries, RC Sproul Jr was defrocked from the ministry so his father set him up with a job.
