Here's another annoying trick,
one might think sin is sin, but it turns out, it depends on who is doing it. I realize it is damn hard to get today's active Christian to get very worked up about Mark 10:11 in regards to anyone, but you might think Rush Limbaugh might get at least a little static for being on wifey #4, but no sirree, nary a peep. Slick Willy on the other hand, cheating on Hillary, OMG!! He's an apostate of SATAN!! Curiously, adultery is adultery, or so it should be, but it just depends on who's dick we are talking about being in the wrong woman. Funny thing there.
We hear from time to time, Old Testament stuff is definitely passe, of course, excepting all the gay stuff. But when we have New Testament Paul out of the blue endorsing something VERY Old Testament, like women shutting the fuck up in church, some of us are very, very confused when there isn't a peep of dissent from any quarter about Joyce Meyer or Tammy Faye Baker spouting off about salvation in their ministries.
Also amazing to me, is how fast everyone in the Christian sphere back in the 80s realized they better keep fucking quiet about Nancy Reagan consorting with a witch/court astrologer. Seems like somebody might have spoken up, they sure aren't bashful about deriding Wiccans Satanists, and Atheists are they ? But somebody perceived as being one of their own is suddenly exposed as letting a 'familiar spirit' guide the presidents schedule (over unsecured phone lines, BTW) and suddenly the very folks that should be witnessing the Word to Nancy to get her back on the right side of God are suddenly mute.
So, the intermittent nature of these Godly values, and it being super important to determine who can be rebuked and who cannot be, all add another layer to that 'mystery of faith' don't it ??

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
