Does God appear and chew me out for 3 hours straight for not praying to Him like he did with the Brother of Jared? Have you ever actually dealt with a church disciplinary council before, even indirectly? |

A former bishop could be allowed to go through a difficult period and experience especially difficult temptations, and therefore should be judged less harshly than average. |

I would love to see your empirical evidence for this. Do share.
Quote:
No man who engages in such evil and unbecoming behavior is worthy of the priesthood of God. No man who so conducts himself is worthy of the privileges of the house of the Lord. I regret that there are some men undeserving of the love of their wives and children. There are children who fear their fathers, and wives who fear their husbands. If there be any such men within the hearing of my voice, as a servant of the Lord I rebuke you and call you to repentance. Discipline yourselves. Master your temper. Most of the things that make you angry are of very small consequence. And what a terrible price you are paying for your anger. Ask the Lord to forgive you. Ask your wife to forgive you. Apologize to your children." - Hinckley, 1996 Quote:

But you're coming back to this? Have you ever repeated the same sin more than once? You're an unrepentant sinner... |

Reconcile that with the scriptures.

we are all sinners =>
penitent sinners confess and forsake => forsake means to not commit again => if you commit a sin after attempting to repent, you are an unrepentant sinner So, Tex is an unrepentant sinner. Correct? Or are you implying you've never recommitted the same sin after attempting to repent. |
