The majority of the conservatives don't have insurance and pay out of pocket for things like vaccines.

I recall reading this. He and I are not as far apart as you might think. That would be the part where I would disagree with him on but it’s a fairly minor point. So you wouldn’t think he’s living in sin by refusing a rubella vaccine that is ethically compromised? If I were his patient, I would be n...

The keyword here is "tendencies." If Christ has given him the victory over it, and he continues to walk in the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, I see no problem in and of itself. That he concealed it would likely be a matter of confession and counseling, which would vary, depending on t...
