I suppose. I mean, what's the purpose? Cuss if you want to, but to make it public on her blog knowing that the church/churches you've pastor have access to?

I don't care what's in your heart sometimes you just do what's right.

I'm assuming you've read the blog, as you've made the judgement that it was wrong to do. Again, as mentioned previously by someone else, context is everything, especially in relating secondhand information.

I don't doubt what was relayed, however, I don't have the ability to say wrong or right until seen in context and firsthand.

Not a fan of secondhand information.

I can't totally agree with you here because the Word says, "...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."

If her heart is not right, how can she stop herself?

I think you and I can agree that if something has a hold of your heart - it's a hard to deal, in some circumstances, to wrestle yourself out of it. When it's got you, it's got you. It takes great determination to walk away from things that affect and have your heart and mind. I think you and I can agree on that one. At least, I think we can.

Yes, we can agree on that.

However, I will put stipulations on it. Writing a blog where you have complete control of the content, can go back and edit it, etc. I believe it was thought out and had a purpose.

Right, which means something has a hold of her heart and she couldn't stop herself, because she didn't want to. It's her heart and mind that is in jeopardy. I don't see how she can change that, unless she actually wants to. And if her bitterness, for what ever reason, is that deep - it's going to be a hard deal for her.

So, again, I believe, without reading it myself, it's got her and she can't stop herself. Hopefully, at some point she will turn around.

That is my point. She didn't want to. Not disagreeing that something got hold of her heart - that's obvious. I think you are stressing the "she couldn't stop herself" and I'm stressing "she didn't want to".

Isn't it intricately intertwined together?

As way of example, if I am committing adultery, I'm not going to stop myself if I don't want to. It's the same application, IMO. Both thoughts/actions are intertwined.

Does that make sense?

Yes, it makes sense.

However, I guess I'm seeing it from another angle. If you were committing adultery would you get on a blog and announce it to everyone to let them know where you heart has taken you?
