comment on commentators

To those of you that commented on my blog, (both the positive and negative commentators), I want to thank you! One person suggested I let the grace of God guide me and they are right! For those that were less than positive- I am glad you commented; you were very civil! What's more it gave me a clearer picture how think and perceive my comments. In retrospect I think I got a little cranky when I brought up James Dobson. I think the reason for that is not the fact that he has made mistakes, but not showing enough valid attempts at correcting himself. A few years ago he was very valiant on radio about being mature enough to accept correction-oh that made my heart soar and want to listen to him! But fast-forward to the last election where he (Dobson)said that he would never vote for McCain, and then all of a sudden the presence of Sarah Palin in the election made McCain acceptable and worth voting for? Couple that with "Focus On The Family" promotion and sale of contemplative material , (contemplative practices are of occult origin) and you will understand my frustration with such an organization. I guess the whole point could be summarized in this fashion: When we promote Christian leaders to such a point where nobody holds them accountable for their mistakes; where such leaders are treated as flawless (even though such ideas would be denied); then I see a strong comparison with how evangelical people treat their leaders and how Catholics treat their Pope. We are all fallible including the Pope. Before I go on, does any reader want to share how they tried to correct a Christian leader? Personally I have attempted to contact "Focus On The Family", Janet Parshal's web site, C.R.I. and Richard Abanes site (in regard to purpose driven Warren) when they promoted things that were inconsistent or unbiblical. For the record: I got no response from "Focus On the Family" C.R.I, or Janet Parshal, and I got a very unfriendly response from Richard Abanes.
Now that I have commentators, I will try to be less vague in my writing. I must go; my children are looking at me!
