    How much can a Christian sin and still be saved?

    His being a preacher makes the matter worse because he had always claimed that his sermons were inspired by the Holy Spirit. All Christians are sinners, but not all are adulterers, and in my church adulterers, fornicators, etc, are not allowed to preach. I am not exposing anyone's nakedness...

    How much can a Christian sin and still be saved?

    In this regard I think my church is right: to prevent scandal after scandal after scandal they permanently remove from office ministers who are caught committing adultery.

    How much can a Christian sin and still be saved?

    I was amazed at his wife's reaction. She just said: "I'm not gonna file for divorce, I just want you to stop fooling your audience. Go to the church right now and confess your sin before the elders ". She could have covered up her husband's sin and so preserve her "preacher's wife status", but...

    How much can a Christian sin and still be saved?

    But David repented bitterly in sackcloth and ashes and I'm not sure the preacher in question will humble himself, just as David did, because he is not attending services in his local church and is nowhere to be seen. Most church members think that his sin is one that leads to death and are...

    How much can a Christian sin and still be saved?

    I believe he can be saved, but I don't think it will be easy. He kept lying to his wife and to the whole church for at least two years, for he always claimed that the power of his preaching came from the Holy Spirit.

    How much can a Christian sin and still be saved?

    A well known preacher in my denomination was found to have been cheating on his wife for the last two years. He has already been permanently removed from his ministry and the only question now is: Can he still be saved? Is it possible "to renew him again to repentance "? (Heb 6:4)

    Gay wedding

    Suppose my son were to be ordained a Muslim priest (an Imam). I wouldn't attend his ordination despite the fact that I love him very much, and I don't think my non-attendance would prevent him from responding to a future call from God. True conversion comes from above, not from being nice all...

    Gay wedding

    You could send a card expressing your respect and admiration for him together with your excuses for not going. My wife has a female cousin who lived together with another woman for 30 years or so. We were never critical of their "marriage", but on the other hand we never showed any hint of...
