Mark 2:15-17
15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Great point, Sister Bass. I wish President Jerry would have brought that up in his statements. Obviously, he was at such a place to persuade harlots to drop their sinful life and come to Liberty University where they would find Jesus.
In other press recently, employees have complained Brother Jerry talks constantly of sex in workplace conversations. He is doing this to promote more soldiers for Christ but the press ignores that.
