'The Bachelorette' drama: Luke talks shocking exit, gets into faith argument on Twitter with Hannah
"My heart was never to judge or condemn Hannah," he wrote.
In a stunning turn of events, Luke P. finally went home Monday night after a season of being dubbed the villain on "The Bachelorette."
His antics with the other men and more finally cost him his chance at love.
After he told Hannah that he would have to leave if she had been intimate with the other guys, she fired right back by showing him the door and telling him she had been with the other men, which left him shocked.
"It hurt my heart that @alabamahannah felt I was shaming her," Luke said on Instagram. "In our conversation my heart was never to judge or condemn Hannah. I was simply making a decision for myself on what I expected in our relationship, our conversations and our beliefs led me to believe we were on the same page about sex. For me it was never about getting a rose, it was always about finding a wife who would choose me everyday just as I would choose her everyday."
He continued by adding that he had "made mistakes" and "didn’t totally behave as the man I want to be."
"This journey has taught me so much and for that I am grateful but the greatest gift I have received is a compassion for those who love the world and it’s ways. My desire is to put the Father first above all things and share the truth that he has given to us all," he added. "Thank you everyone for the prayers always remember speak truth and rid yourself of all hate, let compassion drive your words. Stay tuned."
On Monday's episode, things started off great, with Luke telling Hannah that when he looks into her eyes, he sees his “future wife.”
However, the date took an ugly turn at dinner when Luke brought up sex: specifically, that he needs a commitment from Hannah that she won’t have sex with the other men. That doesn’t sit well with Hannah, who believes Luke has no right to make such a demand. He tried to walk to back his statement but it’s too late.
Finally, the moment for which fans have been waiting all season arrives, as Hannah, who has finally gotten “clarity” on Luke, tells him she doesn't want him to be her husband.
On Twitter, the two of them got into a back and forth about the departure and their vision of faith.
"@AlabamaHannah The difference in how we view sin is seen in the response, I’m weeping at mine and you’re laughing at yours. All sin stings. My heart hurts for both of us," Luke tweeted.
Hannah then decided to respond and wrote, "Time and time again jesus loved and ate with 'sinners' who laughed. and time and time again he rebuked 'saints' that judged. where do you fall Luke? #TheBachelorette."
Luke also added, "There is a difference between eating with sinners who laugh and sinners who laugh at their sin. Sin is the very thing that put Jesus on the cross and that’s not a laughing matter."
Hannah was having none of that and wrote, "I have never said that i find my sin funny. i’m not going to lectured on appropriate emotional responses by a guy who threw deli meat in a guys lap."
Her last tweet to him was, "The devil wants to shame sin. God dealt with shame when he dealt with sin, so i will not allow someone who comes in the name of God to bring me something that God has taken off me."
"The Bachelorette" returns with "The Men Tell All" next week on ABC!
