Anyone Know Where Will Cohron is today?

[solidrock]

First of all, gossip is still a sin, even if it's over the internet. I am shocked at some of the things I've read in this thread. While I wasn't alive back in the 1970s, that was forty years ago and I'm amazed that people still talk about those times like they were last week.

I can say firsthand that I know Bro. Wil Cohron's whereabouts and he is a man of God today, still preaching God's truth and living a godly, Christian life. He is a man I have looked up to my entire life, and I still hold him in high honor.

Keep your mouths off of him, people.

Can you clarify? Are you concerned that people are kissing him or biting him with their mouths? A little confusing.

Oh, and you have to remember that some of us are as old as dirt so we remember the 70's like they were yesterday! Since you "were not alive during the 70's" you will probably experience this in a few decades when you recall the 90's.

As in, stop talking about him.

I pray I'm not bitter about events in the 90s in a couple decades.

I am always amazed when someone stumbles across a years old thread that mentions something like a pastor falling into sin and stepping down from his church and if they happen to be a friend or related to him (usually way too young to actually know what happened in the incident mentioned) they get all indignant and want to rebuke those who may have discussed the incident.

In the process of trying to "protect" their friend or loved one they just bring their failure to the forefront again by bringing a thread that probably has not had any activity for a long time to page one for a lot of new folks to see.

Bottom line is that actions have consequences and one of them is that if you were a well known preacher who falls people are going to want to know what happened to you and where you are today.

My favorite UPC preacher when I was young in the 70's (not WC) has now gone through divorce number three yet considers himself a "father" to younger ministers and "mentors" them. Yikes! One of his "sons" in the ministry is a guy I went to Bible college with who has now gone through divorce number two himself so I guess my old favorite preacher is leading by example!

i wonder if these people consider gossip more sinful than adultery,seems that way ! dismiss the adultery and hammer the "gossipers "

Really, you guys? There were posts in this thread from 2011 and 2012. Besides, I saw this thread a couple years ago and only decided to reply when I saw there was a post from July of this year.

Anyway, y'all were wondering where Bro Cohron is today. Now you know.

Do we not believe God forgives sin?

Really. Regarding your reply to canam what does forgiveness have to do with this discussion? I don't recall anybody on this thread saying not to forgive. What you want is people to act as if the thing never happened. That is nuts.

I don't know the details! Nor do I care. But if the man sinned, so be it. If he asked forgiveness, can he not be restored?
