I simply brought up Mohler's apparent tendency to paint with a broadbrush on this subject. The article in the OP very well could be his new statements. I would post the original blog and the very lengthy discussion pertaining to singleness being sin immediately afterwards on Crosswalk but that was back on Crosswalk's old forums and it's no longer available. The post you are referring to was his um, clarification of his original statements.

I don't necessarily disagree with some of his assertions but if he is wanting to get his message heard and applied he needs to use a better means of communicating. His original statements were done in a way that caused people's defenses to go up instead of breaking down the barriers to hearing what was said. Delivery is everything at times.

He failed to take into account the many walking wounded from broken families. When as many Christian marriages are failing there is going to be some serious fallout affecting the children. It's not an easy subject to broach but tact goes a long way in reaching people.

Well I think different people are called to present God's ideas differently. It's funny that some feel so angry about it.. I honestly didn't see problems with his ideas when I read his (Mohler's) actual words. I read the original article - then read his clarification and didn't see any inconsistencies.

Yes - there are walking wounded - and it's hard .. BUT sometimes truth hurts.. and when so many emotions are stirred it really makes me wonder .. maybe it is what needed to be said?
