Why did God did not simply omit all those bad things that his people did?

hmm, i think God brought those up because they were being repeated, and there is definitely an air of gossip to this thread, but if so public a figure is still trying to pass as authentic if they are not, then how else would people go about it? i guess.

"He who is without sin should throw the first stone."
Maybe that should shut up some of you.

Re: Did we get the Swaggart scandal wrong? (V)
pastors are held to a different standard though; and i assume this guy still purports to be a pastor? So, when does determining if he is still entangled become "throwing stones?" If he is sinning, and not repenting, what do you recommend?
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.

Re: Did we get the Swaggart scandal wrong? (V)
This is digging into things that happened over 30 years ago.
There's no use for it. It's in the past.
It brings no benefit to anyone to dwell on the issue.
Wether you like JSM or not, people DO come to Christ through that ministry today.
