I've just listened to a very heated exchange between Iain Dale and Anne Atkins on the Jeremy Vine Show.
It seems Anne Atkins believes Christian forgiveness does not extend to those who have had an extra-marital affair. I know affairs wreck lives and I am not for one moment condoning Elizabeth Truss' actions, but the affair was in the public domain, it ended four years ago and if her husband forgave her, what problem should we have? Having an affair does not mean you cannot discharge your duties as an MP. It means you are a flawed human being, just like the rest of us.
Scroll in 33 minutes and listen to the exchange.

I'm a Christian myself and I have to say that some Christians have some very strange ideas. But then again, that pretty much goes for everyone on the face of the planet, lol. Wouldn't it be boring if we were all clones of each other?
It's not within the Christian's remit to approve or disapprove. There is a clear passage which says that the Lord will avenge. the legal work can be left to the Big Guy.
What worries me more is that so-called Christians are being labelled as such but they really are not at all - a real Christian would know the passage in scripture.
Much like real muslims always being linked with extremists and nutters.
