If Dobson would deny support to a mere mortal on those grounds, he'd be a hypocrite to not reject his own Savior.

Dobson would forget the admonition to treat the lesser of God's children as he would treat God.

No.

He has a choice to make among several candidates, or to sit out the election. He is an American. If Fred is not his choice, nor the others he’s mentioned, he’s not saying anything one way or the other about Jesus Christ as his Saviour.

Jesus was not the friend of an unrepentent harlot. He preached repentance and remission of sins. He told sinners to go and sin no more. He was the son of a Jew but Dobson doesn’t hate Jews. He just doesn’t agree religiously with those who rejected Jesus. Jesus being “born out of wedlock” is a crude, misleading way to put the Biblical teaching that Mary was with child by the Holy Spirit, not by a man. Which is what made Jesus a divine being, which is why Dobson claims Jesus. But you say he would reject him for it. Impossible. He well knows it, and openly claims Jesus. If not, he wouldn’t be famous and you’d have never heard of him.

All of which is beside the point concerning Jesus himself. He committed no sin, there was no fault found within him. Again, according to Scripture. Dobson believes he has accepted a perfect Saviour. He sees no flaws in that Saviour.

I think you mix apples and oranges when you try to compare how Dobson sees various Presidential candidates with how he views Jesus Christ.

If I were to criticize Dobson I could find some political grounds on which to do so. I can’t see a thing there that causes me to think that his rejection of Thompson should cause him to be criticized on religious grounds, which is how you critiqued him, even to the extent of saying he would, or does, reject his own perfect (those flaws you mentioned weren’t any flaws of Jesus Himself, even if true) Saviour because he rejected an imperfect politician.

Unfair. IMO.

Not that you asked...

You’re writing a lot of hateful words about Dobson. What do you have against him? Why so predisposed to hate him and other high-profile Christians? Are there any Christians that you respect?
