The issue was NEVER mercy and compassion but WHY this sort of event affects people so much. For some reason you seemed to be really defensive and turning this into something it is not

Mercy is a great thing. What does it have to do with this discussion? Who's not being merciful?
So, your suggestion is .... What exactly? Let things go on as they are?

This is one of the stupidest, yet most common misrepresentation of "liberals" that I have ever seen.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Here's a quote from Jeff Arnold that he said last night before his message at GC.
"What is morally wrong cannot be politically corrected"

BTW we don't even know for sure why TB stepped down. The point was when these things happen they hurt people that looked up to these men

Amen me too! If I had quit going when I was battling with cigarettes, I would have never been delivered.

Her responses are insane. Her handle is a perfect fit.
No one is throwing him under the proverbial bus. The (my) issue is living in sin while continuing in leadership.
It is not a Lib v. Con debate. There are certain Biblical criteria that must be met for those in leadership. At the top of the list is "blameless," per the KJV.
