Dr. Dobson has a problem with Fred Thompson?
A commentary by Selah from www.bibletruthonline.COM

A few days ago, I ran across this article from CNN:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As senator turned actor Fred Thompson considers a presidential run, his Christian credentials are being questioned by Dr. James Dobson, a major voice among Christian conservative voters.

Republican strategist Rich Galen saw this as a positive thing.

"If I'm advising Fred Thompson, which I'm not, I'd say 'Good news! We're big enough that someone like Dobson has to pay attention to us,' " he said. (Watch why some in GOP think actor is Mr. Right )

In an interview with "U.S. News & World Report," Dobson said, "I don't think he's a Christian."

A Thompson spokesman quickly contested Dobson's statement, saying "Thompson is indeed a Christian. He was baptized into the Church of Christ."

But a declaration of Thompson's religion will not be enough for Dobson, who is viewed as being widely influential with evangelical Christians, a key Republican voting bloc.

"We were pleased to learn from his spokesperson that Sen. Thompson professes to be a believer," said Nima Reza, a Dobson spokesman. "Thompson hasn't clearly communicated his religious faith, and many evangelical Christians might find this a barrier to supporting him."

Why did that come up now, even before Thompson, a star of NBC's "Law and Order" and a former GOP Tennessee senator, has committed to running for president?

Dobson has shown so far he's not a believer in any of the front-running Republican candidates. He gave Mitt Romney a lukewarm review and said he couldn't support Sen. John McCain or front runner Rudy Giuliani. It signals a split among evangelicals.

"They're looking for someone to head off Rudy Giuliani. Some evangelicals want Thompson to be that person. But others want Newt Gingrich," said Dr. Charles Dunn of Regent University.

Dobson recently had Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, on his radio show, where the former house speaker admitted an extramarital affair.

"I asked you if the rumors were true that you were in an affair with a woman, obviously, who wasn't your wife at the same time that Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky were having their escapade?" Dobson asked.

"Well, the fact is the honest answer is yes," Gingrich said.

Dobson has not endorsed any candidates. He told "U.S. News & World Report" that he thinks Gingrich is the "brightest guy out there" and "the most articulate politician on the scene today."

QUESTION TO DR. DOBSON

WHAT WAS THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE CASE OF JUDGE ROY MOORE AND THE 10 COMMANDMENT ISSUE?

---IF YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM; THEN HOW WILL YOU EVER BE ABLE TO GIVE ADVICE ON ANYTHING RELATED TO SOMEONE BEING A CHRISTIAN!?

ANSWER……THE PROBLEM WITH THE JUDGE ROY MOORE CASE WAS AND IS WHAT THE {SO-CALLED} RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF TODAY {YOU INCLUDED} HAVE ALLOWED THE 10 COMMANDMENTS TO REPRESENT!

YOU HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO REPRESENT A MORAL STANDARD {TRUE ENOUGH} BUT YOU HAVE NOT TOLD THE WORLD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THEM ALL; AND THE VERY PURPOSE OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS WAS TO ACT AS AN MIRROR
SO THAT EACH PERSON COULD SEE THAT THEY WERE A SINNER!

AFTER COMING TO JESUS {LIKE PAUL SAYS } THAT OLD MAN STILLS SINS { I KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG; I TRY TO DO RIGHT ; BUT I DO WRONG; WHO WILL SAVE ME? }

THAT MESSAGE SUMMED UP; IS THE BODY DIES; {that’s WHY WE MUST BE RE-BORN OF THE SPIRIT} NOT SO THAT THE BODY PERFORMS BETTER {FOR IT does NOT}

BUT SO THAT WE MAY FOLLOW JESUS AND WORSHIP IN THE SPIRIT.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION #2

IS IT RIGHT {FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT} TO BE RUN ONLY BY A CHRISTIAN? IN A TIME WHEN CHRISTIAN'S CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN THE JUDGE ROY MOORE CASE PROPERLY?

THERE IS “NO DOUBT” AMONG THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION THAT “CONGRESS” AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS A SELF-SERVING, EGOTISTICAL BEAST; TOO STUPID TO GET OUT OF ITS OWN VOMIT.

BUT TO THE RELIGIOUS SPEAKERS;WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SWIM IN THAT VOMIT?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOU ACCUSE FRED THOMPSON OF NOT BEING A CHRISTIAN. IS THAT THE CRITERIA FOR BEING PRESIDENT OR A MEMBER OF CONGRESS?

HAVE YOU NAMED EVERY CONGRESS MEMBER OR WOMAN WHOM YOU FEEL ARE NOT CHRISTIAN ?

---WHY NOT? AND YET, WITH YOUR LACK OF CRITICIZING THE “CHURCH LEADERS",

WHICH OF THOSE "CHURCH LEADERS" DO YOU FEEL ARE NOT CHRISTIANS?

DON’T LIE ---YOU KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR FAVORITES IN THIS CATEGORY!!!

WORSE THAN THAT, THESE ARE YOUR OPINIONS---THEY {AS YOU REPRESENT

THE CHRISTIAN VIEW} TELL THE UNTRAINED OR NON-CHRISTIAN WORLD

HOW JUDGEMENTAL CHRISTIANS ARE.

------------------AND THIS IS “NOT THE CHRISTIAN MESSAGE”!!!!

YOU HAVE CROSSED A LINE ; IF YOU WISH TO JOIN JERRY FAREWELL;SO BE IT! REVEREND JACKSON; HAVE FUN !!! ----IN FACT; RUN FOR PRESIDENT!
