Trump - A full term... or not

[Joseph Patrick]

From Gerry,

Gerry said: Jon,
While I support the office of president. I have supported the last six presidents (that I remember, some more than others). And I agree that we, as born again believers, should not call anyone derogatory names. Even for those who are thrice married, known adulterers, proven liars, bigoted racists who support white supremacists, who brag about sexually assaulting women and paying for sex while his third wife is having his son. So, I support your call to not call names of others.

Jon replied
I am sure we all have a list of sins (forgiven or not) attached to our lives. I'm not willing to make such a list of others because I do not want others to make a list on me. Matthew 7:12. I don't even want to say I'm so glad I am not like other men (Luke 18:9-14).

Gerry replied:
Galatians 6:1 says, "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted." For two reasons I might need to have a list of sins so that I might be careful to not be tempted and I would need to have a list of his sin so that I know how to approach him for restoration. Of course, if the person thinks that there is no sin in his life this approach might be moot.

Ed: Note Hauro, I deliberately said nothing of "a list of sins".

[Haruo]

Not sure in what sense "the sins" are "in the Bible". Can you elucidate, Ed?

I may have to reread the whole thread, as I do not
understand Ed's comment.
