Thanks for leaving your comments! We answer as many of your questions as we can, but due to the number of comments we receive daily, we are unable to answer every one. Our aim is to post all points of view, but we do not post anything that is profane, insulting, derogatory, or in poor taste.
Yeah, that's the best news I've heard all year! Jill
ReplyDeleteI agree 1000%. Finally justice for the victims.
DeleteI am so sorry your family has to go through all of this ...Prayers for you all
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother used to always say the God does not like ugly. Well,I guess she was right because ugly is going to prison. Please pray for all of the victims especially the babies.
ReplyDeleteThe words of Lord Jesus Christ who said, "I did not come to condemn, but to save." Everyone who is picking up a stone to throw at Josh Duggar needs to be careful that they are not without sin and that they are vulnerable to fall into sins they think they would never commit - the flesh is desperately wicked who can know it. Paul wrote to the Galatian believers, "Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted (6:1)." I don't believe it says drive him away from repentance, but seek restoration with gentleness because we are just as vulnerable to sin. I would like to hear some words that would move towards seeing Josh restored if he is truly guilty rather than passing further judgment on him. We need to remember that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is only One, Jesus Christ, who has the right to judge, but desires to save. If this verdict is true, we should not be rejoicing, but grieving with our Saviour who deeply loves Josh and those children who were victmized.
ReplyDeleteYes everyone has sinned in one way or another. But I will not believe that God would tolerate abusing children and babies for they are the most innocent. If Josh is lucky God's wrath will come down on him and not someone who happens to want to forgive him. If those images were of your family members I doubt that you would be so holier than thou. So you feel that God loves Josh well he just might but I know that God doesn't like ugly and it's hard to get any uglier than him. All my prayers and thoughts are on the victims not the victimized. My God there were pictures of babies. You think that God loves that type of behavior? I think you may be confusing God and Satan.
DeleteJosh cannot be saved. I pray and fully support the sisters he molested and the poor, poor children he viewed. Not all sins are the same and to categorize his sins with others is ignorant. His sisters deserve more support than they are getting and I praise and applaud Jill for her growing independence and intelligence. You can spout as many bible verses as you want, but Josh is where he deserves to be. We are a nations of LAWS, nothing else. I hope the entire family reflects on their upbringing, ESPECIALLY the parents, they are part of this problem without a doubt. I hope they can find peace.
DeleteI completely agree.
DeleteQuote as many bible verses as you want, Josh is getting what he deserves. It is ignorant to think his sins are like all others. That logic makes him just like you.We are a nation of laws, nothing else. He cannot be reformed or saved because he constantly repeats this behavior. Not once did you pray or show concern for the children of his searchings, nor the sisters that he violated. But again, keep quoting bible verses if it washes your conscience of liking this family.
DeleteI wish I could agree with you. Sadly I cannot because I have had and am still continuing to go through having a predator like Josh in my family. Fortunately he is in prison for now but will at some point be released. The only saving grace is that he WILL NOT be allowed to be around any minor children including his own,who are my grandchildren. I am so proud of my daughter because when the allegations came to light she protected her children and babies and kept him away from them. I pray and will continue to pray for the victims for they are truly the innocent ones.
DeleteWe are praying for those children who have been abused and exploited on the internet. It is very grievious to God and to His creation that they have been mistreated this way. We as parents need to do our part to protect our children from this type of abuse because it is very damaging to them in their formative years. We also need protect the abuser from reoffending by taking the proper action to prevent this from happening again. However, can we not join God to pray for the healing of the children, but also the restoration of the offender? He said through the Apostle Peter, "He is not willing that any should perish, but all should come to repentance." How do we know that if Josh is guilty that he isn't bound and cannot set himself free from this bondage? What happens if Josh really desires to be free from this but can't help himself? Do you think picking up more stones to throw at him will be beneficial to seeing him restored? Can we not have the heart of Christ who said, "I didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance?" He came to bear the consequence for all man's sin and forgive anyone who repents even though He was judged for something He didn't do. This family is no worse than anyone of us so if we are without sin, let's pick up stones. But in doing it, remember, only if we are without sin. There is only One (Jesus Christ) who has that right to throw them and didn't because He is perfect. Some day He will bring judgment on those who do not repent, but it's not for us to do so.
