Mawinder I am with you on this one.This man was gross.He surely will not see the kingdom of God.
And shame on the pastors who presided the funeral services.
A helpless 15 year old daughter of his worker? What a shame.
Let he who is without skeletons cast the first stone.
Gross behavior? Certainly.
Is he going to heaven? That's between him and his God. We don't get to decide who goes to heaven or hell. God does. There are no saints down here. Jus plain old sinners
The Bible ordains the law of the land and ORDERS us to obey it unconditionally. Its pprobably the main reason why the church was up in arms about certain sections during its voting. But once it went through, it did so with God's blessings. It's illegal to have carnal knowledge of a 14 year old, much as 'we'
(you have skeletons meaning you've been doing that?) do it.
Sad thing is that its rife. The kambas have done it from before... one needs only read David Mailu's books, the Maasai do it, the Samburu, down at the coast's mijikenda etc
I usually stop listening when someone resorts to ad hominem attacks. Don't stoop that low. My point is what he did was wrong but we don't need to write dissertations about it. I'd examine my life and if I came out smelling like roses, maybe I'd give myself the job of policing everyone else's life and guessing who's invited to heaven.

Do I have an obligation to obey bad law? Whole other debate.
I doubt that the Church would sit back and obey law sanctioning forms of conduct it considers immoral. Bad law made my men can be repealed or amended. God's law is eternal.
