We've seen some interesting comments over the years. Some concerned Bill Clinton whom many thought was a great prexy even though he regularly received blow jobs in the Oval Office. We wonder how they would feel if it had been the president of a large local corporation in which their retirement funds were invested? Oh, well, that's different. Really? How?
One current candidate for sheriff in Lauderdale County has mentioned his "faith." Looking back, we haven't seen an explicit mention of just what this faith is in. Cthulhu maybe? It certainly can't be in Christ since this is what Christ Himself says in Matthew 19:9:

Hmmmm, didn't see anything about being "responsible" for a child's death, a drug addict, or an embezzler (no arrest). We're still missing one ex-wife for this particular candidate. At best, he certainly doesn't make good choices, does he? You want him in charge of hiring deputies? We think not.
Shoalanda
Yes. A Leader. Someone who LEADS.

Those two go hand in hand.
Remember the story "The Pied Piper"?
There is a clear moral to the story which is also a continuing theme throughout the play: ‘The Importance of Keeping Promises’. The consequence of breaking a promise is illustrated in the Pied Piper’s response to the townsfolk refusing to pay the agreed fee for freeing the town of its rat plague. He charms the children away in the same way that he charms the rats away from the town. This is both an ironic and serious consequence but still a lesson of telling the truth and not misleading others.
Very astute comment!
DeleteJust for the sake of fairness...or argument...divorce is not the unpardonable sin, and even someone who has remarried several times can still be forgiven, and can still be a Christian. Once the sin is forgiven, it's forgiven, under the blood, we like to say.
ReplyDeleteNow...does God's forgiveness make such a person a good sheriff candidate? Not at all. Like you said, at best, he doesn't make good choices.
I know my idea of forgiveness in such a situation is not popular with certain denominations...I am not trying to convince anyone. I let the Bible interpret the Bible, and let them work out their own salvation.
On a side note: I still say Augie Hendershot is a perfect name for a southern sheriff. lolz
My vote, however, will go to Rick Singleton.
My vote will also go to Rick Singleton. As for divorce, this does seem to be a matter of theology in various religious bodies disagreeing.
DeleteOut take? Would that also mean if you steal the cool million trust fund from the little old lady, can you be forgiven and still keep it? We await answers from our readers.
I don't know how many times Hendershot has been married, I heard several times but it makes one wonder what he does while on duty at night. Possibly hunting wives? Singleton is my choice.
