Yes, I think you did misunderstand. I created an example of how NOT to ask the Lord for forgiveness. Here it is:

"Lord, that person was so hot and you made me have these desires. Everyone has them. Nevertheless, I'm sorry Lord."

When I go to my Father and ask for forgiveness, I don't rationalize or justify my sin before apologizing for it. In fact, from my experience, people tend to be less than sincere when they rationalize their wrong followed by an "apology". That was my point.
So I think I did understand then. That fake quote comes with the implication that God made them sin.

A) "You made me have these desires."
B) "I am sorry for those desires."
I think the wording is just off a little for what you meant...

If you're going into Law, you will have to develop an understanding of the deviant mind. "People 'say' whatever I decide they have said... never mind sticking with facts." LOL
I see that a lot. It is sad when people do it intentionally.
I also know we all have difficulty in wording things better to get our point across accurately. I try to give the benefit of the doubt, especially since I could have read it wrong.

Not at all (pertaining to God making them sin). It's a fact God made men attracted to women and women to men. The desire isn't the sin, it's the action. So to use "God, you gave us these desires" as a defense for acting on those desires is completely irrelevant... it's justification for a sin. There is no justification for it. To follow that up with an apology would lead many to think it wasn't sincere as there wasn't a complete ownership of the sin.

You are saying it is wrong because it is a justification?
It is not a defense. Is that what you are saying?

I'm saying it will lead people to believe the apology was insincere (to rationalize/justify what he said prior to apologizing for it). So yes, it isn't a defense, nor would I apologize to anyone I was sincerely sorry for this way, least of which to our Saviour.

You just said it leads people to believe it is insincere because it is a justification, but not a defense?
Justification and defense are synonyms....

Trump is TRYING to justify his sin. It's not a defense. There is no justification... He's trying to justify it by stating excuses for why he did what he did. It's inexcusable.

I am not arguing that it is or is not inexcusable. I am trying to tell you that justification is a synonym for defense. "There is no defense for it," is the same thing as "there is no justification". You are saying he is trying to justify his actions, but he is not trying to defend his actions...It may or may not be a valid defense, but it is still a defense.....

I was just trying to help you understand they are synonyms, so you can get your point across better.

Because there isn't an excuse for it... I can't even come up with a hypothetical scenario where it's excusable to say what he said... save it be for a guy holding him at gunpoint with a voice recorder.

I said that earlier. I know they can be used interchangeably in this context.

As for my saying "he is not trying to defend his actions"... I don't believe I said that. If I did, copy and paste the post I made that said that. It would have been an error if I did. He is trying to defend his actions... he is trying to rationalize his actions... hence, I put he is trying to "rationalize/defend" in the post I quoted.

"It isn't a defense" is the same thing....It Is a defense, just not a valid defense....
You are saying he is not trying to defend his actions whether you intend to or not....I come to this conclusion based on the definitions of words you used.

A) He is trying to defend his action
defend- using an argument to maintain innocence
He was trying to use an argument to maintain the innocence of his actions
B) It is not a defense
Defense- an argument used in vindication or trying to maintain innocence
It is not an argument used in trying to maintain innocence
C)"It is not an argument (noun-defense) used in trying to maintain his innocence, but he is using (verb-defend) an argument to maintain his innocence..."

Do you see what I am saying now? The word valid is needed, in order to get the meaning you want.....

Defend/defense isn't always about showing/proving innocence. It could be to make something less severe.
B) It is not a defense
Defense- an argument used in vindication or trying to maintain innocence
It is not an argument used in trying to maintain innocence
It's not a valid defense at making him "innocent" or "less guilty".
C)"It is not an argument (noun-defense) used in trying to maintain his innocence, but he is using (verb-defend) an argument to maintain his innocence..."
It's not a good argument. Of course, this is all subjective.

Yes I do. You also misunderstood a few things, such as "God gave us desires", but it's not the desire that's the sin, it's the action. When a particular Trump fanatic said "every guy has thought like that" it does nothing to legitimately justify/defend what Trump did/said. It isn't the desire, it's acting on the desire.
A) "You made me have these desires."
B) "I am sorry for those desires."

Again on the second part, I understood exactly what was said, but now I understand what you meant... You accidentally said something different than what you meant. You never said the person acted, just they had the feeling God gave them and that they were sorry. I don't make assumptions that the person acted. I take exactly what was said without assuming. Without making assumptions, one has to believe the person was sorry for the desire...."I am sorry for acting on those desires."

I don't care what Trump said, I'm still voting for him. I rather him nominate the next supreme court judge than clinton. I could care less about anything else the president does. That supreme court is everything right now.

Chances are I'll do the same (still trying to make peace about it), but that is irrelevant to the indefensible actions Trump does. If Trump said his daughter was a fine piece of... well, he is still not quite on Hillary's level, but nevertheless I would be critical of who he is.

How far do we ignore the content of someone's character because it's all about the Supreme Court Justices?

I get fed up when I listen to the 4 females that are there not only to support Trump but to stand up and have voice a voice against the Clintons. While president Clinton harassed and raped woman, and his wife was in charge of defending her husband with claims against these woman. What these woman have said, can not be scripted and you can feel the years of a tarnished reputation affect on these woman. Suddenly there name was no longer a personal symbol of who they are but a symbol of how the rich and powerful can get away with rape and many other illegal acts. These females will never own there names again but be in the history books as the woman who yelled rape and sexual harassment against a president. It's sad when people want to compare Trump's words to the Clintons actions. Sick people. If you play this double standard game then everyone shall reap what they have sown. And own up to what they have done.

I could be wrong, but there isn't anyone equating Clinton's actions with what Trump did/said (at least on these forums). I think that is a straw man to deflect attention and responsibility of what Trump has done.

In one breath we can condemn the actions of Bill Clinton and in another breath, we can independently condemn the actions of Trump. Pretending there is an equation of what Bill did to Trump is a desperate attempt to tear down a straw man.

Even after he apologized for it? I think it's time to move on. We have a country to take back.
