Can Josh Duggar Be Forgiven

Matthew 12:31King James Version (KJV)

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

     Anyone that knows me, knows that I’m an advocate for children and for Christ. I loathe the things that are committed against anyone, especially children. Having said this, I have seen a lot of people stating that Josh Duggar can’t be forgiven. Let me clarify this for many. He can be forgiven. Yes, what he did was horrific, sick, and vile. I hate this, but he is a person and the bible lets us know that all sins except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost can be forgiven (Matthew 12:31 KJV). If he has turned from his ways (repented), he can be forgiven. We as Christians need to stop throwing this young man under the bus. We cannot and must not condemn him. We don’t have that power. Only God can send someone to hell. Forgive this young man and move on. Now, I’m not saying that people don’t need to keep an eye on their children when around him because they do. I’m saying we need to stop proclaiming a lie from the gates of hell stating that this man cannot be forgiven. He can because Christ died for all of us, taking our sins on the cross. For those that say they don’t believe he has turned his ways, if he has not, God will expose it. Give God more credit than what you are giving him.
