Preachers, Redemption and Sin????
I know a preacher through another friend of mine. I have not seen the preacher in long while. He came to see me the other day and started talking to me about our friend. He brought up the past and talked about “reaping what we sow” and when we “sin” we will be punished. Indicating this other friend is being punished for past transgressions. All the while I listened to him and thought about the fire and brimstone preaching.
Yet this preacher was married found another woman impregnated her and divorced his wife later. A sin???? Will he reap what he sowed??
I thought about all he said and realized he needs the prayers for his heart does not hold forgiveness and love and that is what is the true sin for we all need to give our brothers the opportunity to move on to a greater ground and always give them our support. It does not matter who you are it is what you are made of that really counts!!!
Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.
