“But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.” Apostle Paul, Galatians 2:11
“Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.” This is a very prominent and respected Christian principle, which is based on a paraphrase of something that Jesus says to the Jewish leaders who brought the woman before him that was caught in adultery. The principle is very simple: before you seek to judge, weigh up your own guilt, especially if you are involved in this same situation. This is a very applicable principle to every human being.
I bring this up because I am going to address one of the key sins of the Church from the Covid years and some people will immediately think: mate no one got it perfect, so why don’t you lay off other pastors who were just seeking to do what they thought at the time was the right thing? This is an understandable comment.
