James Dobson doesn't speak for me.
*Well He doesn't speak for me... so no issue there.
He doesn't speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide;
*I think that Religion is a Wedge that SHOULD divide us... there are people who believe in many False Gods, there are people who believe in a couple of False Gods and there are people who believe in just one False God... But they all believe in a false God(s) {which Mark Driscoll would say is a demon) and not the True and living God. There is a Wedge there and rightfully so.
He doesn't speak for me when he speaks as the final arbiter on the meaning of the Bible;
*I have to agree here, but I think that he is pretty close most of the time at least more so then Mr. Obama.
James Dobson doesn't speak for me when he uses the beliefs of others as a line of attack;
*Generally speaking I would say he doesn't here either, but only because he doesn't go far enough... Is should be a line of attack and a plea to come to there senses.
He doesn't speak for me when he denigrates his neighbor's views when they don't line up with his;
*Again, I think if he denigrates a view, I would agree 9 times out of 10.
He doesn't speak for me when he seeks to confine the values of my faith to two or three issues alone;
*There really is only one issue and two issues of our day - 1. How do you line up to the BIBLE?! [ Abortion and Gay Marriage for which I think he does speak for me, they are both sinful, immoral and disgusting... a tribute to man being able to invent new ways of doing evil.]
What does speak for me is David's psalm celebrating how good and pleasant it is when we come together in unity;
*As long as we have unity IN Jesus Christ, I agree
Micah speaks for me in reminding us that the Lord requires us to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with Him;
*I agree here to, and how can we act justly if we are allowing thousands of babies to be murdered daily??
The prophet Isaiah speaks for me in his call for all to come and reason together and also to seek justice, encourage the oppressed and to defend the cause of the vulnerable;
* "defend the cause of the vulnerable" Like the unborn who are being murdered, who Mr. Obama would allow to be murdered more easily... the thought that a 'Christian' could support Murder is beyond me.
The book of Nehemiah speaks for me in its example to work with our neighbors, not against them, to restore what was broken in our communities;
*Ummm... this is exegetically poor. This was a community of people who had the same faith. How can I would with an unbeliever and give God the Glory?
The book of Matthew speaks for me in saying to bless those that curse you and pray for those who persecute you;
*It sure does... and I have a feeling that persecution is knock, knock, knocking at the door in America for true Christians.
The words of the apostle Paul speak for me in saying that words spoken and deeds done without love amount to nothing.
*I agree... and what is more loving then telling someone they believe a Lie?
The apostle John speaks for me in reminding us of Jesus' command to love one another. The world will know His disciples by that love.
*We are to love other Christians with a special love and outsiders with a different love. We are to love, no disagreement there, the question is what is love? I have to say Tolerance isn't Love, it is more like apathy.
These words speak for me. But when James Dobson attacks Barack Obama, James Dobson doesn't speak for me.
*Ummm... wrong, he does speak for me there.
