Is Adultry a sin God would forgive so easily?

[Toots]

I was under the impression God considered adultry a capital sin worthy of being put to death....Vitter said quite casually that he talked to God and God forgave him..

1. 37!

EDIT: Redone to better convey my point.

7. I always wondered what Jesus was writing in the dirt.

probably the names of the Pharisee's girlfriends. :)

10. Ah, the Rosemary2205 Biblical Commentary!

probably the names of the Pharisee's girlfriends.

Best Biblical response...ever! Good thing I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that!

5. Picking up sticks on the Sabbath is a capital crime

Putting a stick where it doesn't belong has got to be worse.

But to be fair the NT does claim to change things. Where adherence to the law was the focus of the OT forgiveness and mercy were much of the focus of the NT. So he can make the claim. As to whether he is forgiven... if there is any truth to the bible then I would suspect he would have to understand how he was wrong and internalized it. In order to be forgiven one has to understand what one did wrong. Just saying "Oops, my penis fell in that hooker" doesn't cut it.

6. No wonder repukes like their daddy god so much

11. Forgiveness is at the forefront of Christian beliefs. That's why this stuff

is so funny. These so-called Christians have hijacked the true beliefs for their warped sensibilities.

17. He pretty much played his only card "I've asked forgiveness"

We'll see if those words encase him in teflon like others of his ilk caught with their pants down.

12. God hasn't forgiven his wife for being a liar! Didn't she say she would cut

off her husbands dick if he ever fooled around on her?

13. Leave god's issues to god, and we can tend to earthly ones,

like politics.

14. From a theological standpoint, a sin is a sin is a sin.

Only when they get caught do the fundies resort to moral relativism, something that they always use against their opponents.

15. Talking to god, and having him respond, seems on the insane side of things.

[devilgrrl]

16. I was talking to god the other day.... and god says...

:silly:

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. The great thing about it is who's gonna prove it one way or the other?

God does whatever somebody says he/she/it does.

19. There Is No God...n/t

20. Thou shalt not commit adultery is right up there with Thou shalt not kill and thou

shalt not covet they neighbor's goods and other commandments the Republicans disdain.
