It is also reported that Phillip Lee, the reprobate "Office" manager at LSM during the turbulent times of the "new way," who was involved in numerous obnoxious and hideous immoralities, had the same favorite saying in times of crisis, "we don't care for right or wrong, we only care for life." With such an equivocating saying such as that, just about any crime could be swept under the rug at LSM.

The sin or immoral acts of any believer or non-believer do not negate the Word of God. Ever. Allowing someone's immoral behavior to become a filter to receiving the truths of the Word of God is merely a tactic of the Devil to keep one from experiencing God's complete salvation.
When you sin do you allow the Devil to use that sin to filter your Bible reading? Do you prevent God from shining in your heart through Hi Word by recounting your sins before Him? Do you say "why, this can't be true because I sinned"? I doubt it. I don't think you do that else you would not be the active christian that you are. You confess your sins before God and plead the blood of the Lamb like all believers must.
If you do not allow the Devil to use your sins to filter your receiving the truths of the Word of God, then why would you allow the Devil to use the reprobate acts of someone else to deprive you?
Let us never allow our owns sins, nor the sins of others, to become a filter in our reading of the Bible and receiving of the truth.
