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.

Me, I hope JS and MG really and truly repent and put their sins under the Blood. No one benefited by their sins and or their exposures. Lose/Lose.

@ "justlookin" Your posting style seems awfully familiar did you post here under another name before?

It's been quite a while since I posted here. What style are you talking about?

Let's see.....King David was most likely more oneness than most and he's been dead ......mmmmmm 4000 years? And while he killed Goliath and did many exploits it is rare that his name is mentioned and his adultery is not remembered. Adultery is a sin of reproach and one which according to the bible (you know that little black book that reveals God's thoughts and will) it is a sin who's reproach is NEVER removed. (Prov. 6:32-33)

Bishoph, 1 John 1:9 states diffrently....(If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness). It clearly states All unrighteousness

Cross references:
1 John 1:9 : Ps. 32:5; 51:3; Prov. 28:13
1 John 1:9 : [Ps. 143:1; Rom. 3:26]
1 John 1:9 : [See ver. 7 above]; Eph. 1:7; Heb. 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:19; Rev. 5:9; 7:14; 12:11

This isn't about oneness or trinitarian, this is about bringing up someone's failures 26 years after it happened. One questions if the same thing would be brought up 26 years later if it had been a oneness minister who failed. I'd guess the answer would be no since that hasn't occurred so far.

Let me get this straight though. You're saying David's, Jimmy Swaggart's and Terry Blacks' sins cannot be removed? I don't think you're following scripture, brother.

Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Do you have any sins that cannot be removed? Have you enjoyed the blessedness of God as David apparently did? I have.

Maybe we can have an annual remembrance of Jimmy Swaggart's sins here on the forum. Or have a social with refreshments and have a speaker enumerate them.

You are being absurd. I have not seen posts on here replaying the details of his sin. If you are trying to make a point you are not doing it very well.
