Slicer, you don't think that's hypocritical? To tell young women not to give it up and save themselve for marriage when they did not do the same?

newsflash: all priests/pastors/ministers are hypocrites.

not necessarily

according to the Baptist beliefs (which is how I was raised; excuse me while I go pour myself another beer), a sin is a sin is a sin in the eyes of God

whether you slept with someone you weren't married to, or shot someone in the face who didn't deserve it, or told some girl, "no, those pants don't make you look fat at all" matters not; to God it's all the same

if said pastor has truly repented of that sin, then it is not hypocrisy

however, if he is saying this while being currently involved in an pre/extramarital affair, that's another matter altogether
