Last week, in a spoken commentary aired on the Focus on the Family radio program, Dr. James Dobson and his VP of Public Policy, Tom Minnery, came out swinging against Sen. Barack Obama, with Minnery accusing him of dragging biblical…

Next I’ll be “boombastic”, and “divisive”. Rebuff is only legit when so-called Christian conservatives are employing it against those who are ideologically opposed to them – and you tell ME about self-righteous.

So pardon me if too many of ya’ll make me sick. I can give you links to 10 so-called Christian message boards where the consensus is that liberal Christians are NOT saved.

If one is content to overlook such folly, then so be it – but I won’t.

Father Yahweh has consistently been for our PURITY than PUNISHING his children. But how they behave, it would seem that some punishment is in order, but that’s MY opinion.

Make no mistake, I’ve see and heard it all, including those with your sentiment who would seek to quench righteous, and condone complicity, so I’m not even offended.

1 Peter 4:

14 If you are reproached for the Name of Messiah, you are blessed, because the Spirit of esteem and of Elohim rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is praised.

15 For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or doer of evil, or as a meddler.

16 But if one suffers being Messianic, let him not be ashamed, but let him esteem Elohim in this matter.

17 Because it is time for judgment to begin from the House of Elohim. And if firstly from us, what is the end of those who do not obey the Good News of Elohim?

18 And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the wicked and the sinner appear?

So here we are. There are some of us, firstly, saved, and lastly conservative, who REFUSE to degrade those who don’t think or look like us, and those who, SITTING IN MOSES’ SEAT, justify doing so.

Which one are you?

And yes, I am righteous without shame.

Let’s let the compromise be that you be just as vocal in trying to call me out for what YOU perceive to be self-righteous, and take that to places where I told you that YOUR fellow Children of G-d are being unseemly.

I wouldn’t say anything, if there were nothing to be said.

And you (none of you) have said anything about the “trifling creature” sentiment. But that’s typical.

What I disagree with is your tone. You’re being confrontational without reason and in such a manner as to put yourself at odds with the ideal you claim to be defending. Again, I appreciate the sentiment. We should all elevate our speech. But the way you describe it, we’ve already sunken to the level of the average DailyKos or Huffington Post threads. Have you seen the type of bile that’s regularly featured there? THAT is where the cesspool is, friend. Further, I resent your prejudgment of me as “stand[ing] complicit” in anything, let alone “insulting or degrading” people of any ideological or racial stripe. You could count on two hands the total number of times I’ve posted and none contained anything the least bit insulting to anyone. So I thank you kindly not to cast aspersions on my honor.

How about a compromise. You continue being vigilante and calling us on our slip-ups, but do so with some modicum of respect for your fellow Children of God.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. If I were insulting and degrading so-called “liberals”, you all would have nothing to say.

Gayle Miller said that Senator Obama is a “trifling creature”. What do you have to say about that? Nothing.

If I subscribed to that nomenclature, I’d be 150% more Biblically on point AND Conservative that you or anyone you know, so don’t even try it.

You all stand complicit when people dog out non-whites and liberals, and even participate, but get bent when someone criticizes carnal Christian conservatives. Too bad. I’ll never EVER stop – nor will I acquiesce.

Great to see some current events posts on your blog again.

I was debating whether or not to write about this “controversy” (which seems to stem more from quotes being taken out of context, rather than a serious theological discussion). I guess I’ll have to write something now, just so I can quote you!

I’ll trackback when I do my post …

My observations are on point.

Not sure what your spiritual proclivities are, but it’s more important that YOU don’t be named amongst them than to concern yourself with MY observations.

As such, I was referring to how so-called “believers” should behave. They should not LOOK or SOUND like unbelievers.

And I concur with “Comment by David — 06.26.08 @ 12:48 pm”

True, faith-based conversation from LaShawn is on point, not that her other commentary isn’t.

My problem with conservative, and to a lesser extent, independent, political commentary by so-called believers is that it’s not a good look when some of the stuff that’s being put out there looks familiar with the musings of those with un-regenerated minds.

If you’re saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost you need to be bigger than that, and when people get called on it, their TRUE colors (figuratively and literally) come out.

Some of the most rank and outta line stuff is coming from believers on the Blogs. TownHall is a cesspool of carnality and lawlessness. No wonder so-called liberals think we’re morons.

This is SPIRITUAL WARFARE, not water Polo.

He has only recently displayed his own personal presidential seal, had the effrontery to lecture the President of Iraq on military matters, and lie about just about anything one can imagine.

What I still fail to understand is what is it about this trifling creature that so enthralls the news media and the leftwing Kool-aid-drinking set? I just don’t get it.

So he speaks elegantly. An examination of WHAT he says rather than the way he says it shows that – omigosh, the Emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!

I don’t! I’ll continue blogging about faith, digital tech, and music.

It seems you have a gift for political post and many fans of your political blogs, so I guess I’m out numbered. Unfortunately I’m a registered independent who’s pretty disgusted and apathetic about our entire system and both parties, but I love music, the digital seen and the Lord. I hope you don’t discontinue posting on those topics completely.
