Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

As far as the poster who whined that this thread was Oneness folks trying to highlight the sin of non Oneness ones that his hogwash. JS was one of the most famous religious personalities in America at the time and to act like the whole situation was not news and did not have huge implications on the perception of Pentecostal / Evangelical Christians in this country is absurd.

I just find it strange that after 26 years, twenty six years, the sins of Jimmy Swaggart is still being brought up before the people. Would that happen with a oneness minister? I seriously doubt it.

As I said, let's see if Terry Blacks' sins (or anyone who has fallen in the past) are brought up over and over. Could be there's an anniversary celebration of them, a celebration of look how he fell and look how good I am in comparison to him. But I doubt that will occur.

And I'm not "whining" about oneness folks. I'm simply astounded that Jimmy Swaggart's sins are still being celebrated 26 years later.

My biggest gripe with Pastors who fall into adultery both in and out of Oneness Pentecostalism is that I have yet to personally know of a single one who came forward on their own and showed repentance and remorse. It is only when they are caught and their livelihood is threatened that they show remorse and repentance.

That may be the case, but to say they didn't honestly repent before God isn't our call to make. I can forgive them and I know God can too.
