Dr. Mohler is not one to use ascerbic verbage in his writing or presentation. He doesn’t intentially provoke anyone. His primary purpose in this or any other issue is not political or social, per se. He opposes “sin” because God does, but to merely oppose sin is not enough. The ultimate goal is to make the “sinner” aware of his sin so he will turn to Christ in repentance and faith. That is what Dr. Mohler’s primary purpose is...to lead people to Christ. Merely suppressing the homosexualization of our society is only treating a symptom not the disease.

Critizing Dr. Mohler is not conducive to the real, God mandated, goal of spreading the Gospel.

Dr. Mohler is also not above criticism. The bent toward putting leaders, particularly religious leads, on a pedestal of near "infallibility" is very disturbing. Even the apostle Peter was criticized by Paul for preaching the necessity of an Old Covenant observance, circumcision.

Again, I'm not impugning Dr. Mohler's credentials, his laudable history of true Christian integrity and work, or his motives. If you will read my posts, unless I'm not expressing myself accurately, I'm saying that he is grossly underestimating the Devil's servants. They won't be coddled into believing with "niceness" and "quietness." Many times, the truth must be proclaimed loudly and without apology. The truth is respected more in this way, I believe. It's the way Jesus presented it - despite the many people he offended.

And, again, ask yourself why an interview like this broadcast of Dr. Mohler makes the homosexual lobby absolutely giddy with thoughts of their next advance and retribution.

And on this note, the Gospel begins primarily with the problem of SIN. I believe it was Keith Green who mentions this when he said, "what would they need to be saved from. Fun?"
