HARD-HEARTED JOHN EDWARDS

“A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways,” per Bible.
John Edwards campaigned on saving America’s grassroots from corporate corruption. He appeared as the ethical voice on this issue.
All the while, Edwards was serving an unethical plight to his wife by committing adultery.
Edwards claimed the National Enquirer was nothing but “tabloid trash” while all the time knowing the newspaper printed truth about his unfaithfulness to Elizabeth.
Edwards claimed that Elizabeth was the zest that drove his life successes, particularly when appearing with her on such TV shows as “The View.” While extolling her virtues, Edwards was in the hay with another woman.
Edwards broadcast his deep personal concern for his wife’s cancer and all other women suffering from cancer. At the same time he was ditching his wife to bed down with another female.
Edwards paid up to $400 for a haircut while informing media that he was just another American seeking the political dream of Presidency. While “just another American” he was in fact an egocentric, narcissistic rich adulterer like unto Bill Clinton.
Edwards prided himself on being a practicing Christian as Methodist with down-home values when in fact he was breaking the Ten Commandments, particularly “Thou shalt not commit adultery” and “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”
Edwards, worshiping at times in a Methodist sanctuary with the family, appeared to be living out the John Wesley teaching of “holiness of heart and life” when in reality he was sinning in word, thought and deed every day.
Edwards tried to convince voters that he was the upright individual for the Oval Office when all the while he was the Clintonesque essence of lies and more lies, cheat and more chat, lust and more lust.
Edwards smiled his way through dialogues with the likes of Barbara Walters, making himself out to be the epitome of husbandry and fatherhood—taking good care of things at home base—when he was actually undercutting everything of worth at home base.
John Edwards is now revealed as the double-minded man, of whom there are scores. However, Edwards is fortunate in that he was caught before death.
Now it is up to Edwards to return to traditional Methodist understanding of Scripture. John Wesley preached that a sinner could repent of his transgressions to Christ, find divine mercy for soul, and be cleansed of every wrong.
Wesley’s interpretation of the Bible was that a mortal could find personal salvation in the Redeemer, then live the holy life by way of the sanctifying Holy Spirit, preparing his soul for the Judgment Seat of Christ at death.
Will Edwards get hold of this biblical promise? Only time will tell. At present, it appears that Edwards, theological and political liberal, is intent on continuing to label himself “Methodist” while deserting the Bible John Wesley preached from.
