Tell me blind ear. On the topic of "repentence". When is a good time to repent? When you realize the sin yourself, or when others have pointed it out to you, and you realize their right, or when you suffer the consquences of that sin, and realize that you deserved the consquences, and repentence is the proper thing to do. OR! How about all the above?
God tells us, to judge the sin, not the sinner. Where do you stand on that? I actually don't know Newt's heart, nor the preachers heart. Do you?
If Newt says he's sorry, and has repented, then I have to believe him, unless I SEE otherwise.
