Josh Duggar

[Beacon]

What makes me mad is that people are defending this and acting like it's no big deal because he "repented". Experience has taught me that people like him don't stop without serious intervention, they just get sneakier and more devious. I truly hope that what his parents did was enough to discourage him from ever doing it again but I don't consider it likely, unfortunately.

Obviously what he did was wrong, but the point is that God has forgiven Josh. God is the one who sets the standards of right and wrong in the first place, and He's the One with the authority to decide who is forgiven and who isn't. What right do any of us puny humans have to continue condemning someone God has forgiven? Who do we think we are? As Francis Chan says, when we disagree, we shouldn't assume it's His reasoning that needs correction. God has forgiven Josh and he has repented and asked forgiveness from the people he sinned against, and they have all moved on. It's none of our business now. Yes, sin has consequences, and all involved will likely be affected for the rest of their lives, but why do we need to remind them of that? They're already aware enough. We don't need to continue embarrassing Josh and his family in front of the whole world.
