He has chosen to lower the moral standards of our country. The list of the consequences of his actions could go on and on. Some people will say that holding him accountable for the consequences of his actions is not the Christian thing to do, instead we should forgive him and let the country go back to normal. I am totally in favor of forgiving him, but with true forgiveness, not the unreal pretending that something did not happen which we often use in place of real forgiveness. Forgiveness is acceptance that a relationship has been damaged or destroyed and that pain and hurt have happened.
Forgiveness remembers that pain and hurt and goes beyond it into healing.
Forgiveness is not cheap, it is hard work, and includes accountability and responsibility on the part of the person doing the forgiving. Mr. Clinton has caused deep moral wounds in our country. Forgiving him must include the healing of those wounds which he can help do by accepting the consequences of his actions. Mr. Clinton has done three moral wrongs and admitted to two. The first was adultery, the second was lying to the American people, and the third was pretending to take responsibility for these acts but not actually doing so.
