Sex offenders.
So I read today that a man I had admired growing up has been arrested for some stuff that had done. I know the man is a Christian. However, looking on his facebook page today, I am heartbroken for him. There are people who are confessing to be Christians being down right mean towards him. Saying he is going to hell and that God will never forgive him and how can he call himself a Pastor for what he did. Now, I am not saying what he did was right in any way. It is a sin and a crime. However, why do Christians feel the need to throw stones at a man or a woman who has fallen and made some bad choices? Shouldn't we pray for someone in that situation? We are all human. We all have made bad choices. Some with worse consequences than others. But God still loves us despite of who we are or what we have done.
I guess my question is how would you react? Say you met a sex offender who wanted to change, who wanted to accept Christ. Would you push him/her away like society does or would you minster to that person. Even though they may have done something we consider horrible and vile, does that person not deserve to know that Jesus still loves them?
