Everybody sins.. As humans its pretty much what we do best. though created for better things tell anybody through out the bible the things you have done and the response you will and probably should get is.. really?!? is that all you've got!! the list of great offenders is too long to list, but some notable answers would be..
Paul was a murderer: (Book of Acts)
Noah was a drunk (Gen 9) and Lot was guilty of incest. (See Gen 19:31-36)..
Abraham was an Adulterer, and lied that his wife was his wife and allowed her to be married, and God punished the person she married.. TWICE!! (Genesis 20)
The point Im getting at, is this. You will fall short, we all do (Romans 3:23), pastors fall short, even apostles fall short, after talking to Jesus face to face! Don't be surprised when the people around you fall short; that is why you are around, them to help them up! You will be lied to, hurt and sometimes utterly demolished by the people you call "brother" or "sister". When the time comes, do like our examples did before us, look them in the eyes and say, is that all you got?
Remember there is NO SIN that GOD has not already seen and forgiven, there is not a single act on this earth that His Crucifixion did not cover, if you react in a way that shames your brother they are bound to remain in sin forever because they feel they have to keep it in the darkness. It is not your duty to convict only to love and to be there when the time comes to provide support, a word of wisdom and prayer for healing.
God doesn't only love the perfect,
Romans 5:8"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
I love all my friends out there! and Remember IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!!
God Bless!
