Ecclesiastes 10:8 (The Message) Caution: The trap you set might catch you. Warning: Your accomplice in crime might double-cross you.
Mark 7:6
Jesus said “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘ This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
They kill with their hearts and mouth- they rather kill gays instead of ministering to them in love. We must love the people we don't have to love the sin. My God its so sad. I'm a Christian and I love gays and God does also. He just doesn’t like the sin. We all sin. But as I read the word of God Jesus loved the sinner. But it was those who thought they were so religious that He condemned.
Do not play God. Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. If you could pray for rain for Sen Obama how about Gustav on your parade. Do not play God. He is the key player here. You are so blind that you cannot see. If Sen Obama is God's choice for this country he is going to be. If God has accepted Sen Obama as His own son, who are you? Do not play God. No weapon formed against Sen Obama shall prosper. I am very disappointed in you James Dobson!
Why is it, when Rev. Wright communicated things not accepted by the general public it was played from the mountain top and the same is not done to James Dobson and Stuart Shepard? James Dobson has the power to wipe out this video from the public arena? This is insane! Day after Day we saw the media tear down a Great man, yet there is a deafening quietness on this reckless behavior! Whether we agree with James Dobson or Rev. Wright at no time should there be unequal response as we are seeing today to reckless speech. Why is there silence from the media on this? The media has just been found out! The right-wing and the Media had no problems demonizing the Black Pastor yet you sanitize the media response when it comes to James Dobson and Stuart Shepard. Again, if you would open your mind together we can fight to stop Abortion at the human “decision making process” not throwing people into jail because of a reprobate mind or because they are a lost soul. We have failed every time a lost soul is thrown into jail for something that God does not allow and from your luxury home you continue to ridicule and condemn people as if you are God yourself. Now millions are deceived from your reckless rhetoric over the years! Don’t be too hard on Stuart Shepard as he is only reflecting your own reckless rhetoric when you try to turn all that is wrong with humans into a political issue. Are you against Adultery? No, you excuse it, then turn to Democrats and blame them for human shortcomings. You need to stop this mess now!!! We all sin and come short of the Glory of God unlike what you preach when you say Democrats sin and come short of the Glory of God! Republicans too sin and come short of the Glory of God even while they are throwing their immorality and morality stones in the form of reckless praying and speeches as well as on the conservative radio shows! May God Bless Republicans, Democrats and all of American and teach us the error of our ways!
We are called to spread the good news, yet you go to Pharaoh and divide our Christian army, by dabbling in Politics and siding with Republicans. The Bible warns against sheep in wolves clothing and you have deceived many with this false rhetoric. You would pray for rain on your perceived enemies? This is reckless behavior is the equivalent to what made Jesus say thou shall not tempt the Lord our God. Are you saying “it is GOOD now?” Your mockery of what God can do has gone too far.
The right-wing so called Christians say they are for life then pray for rain on what they perceive to be their enemies. Then they pontificate that “if it Rains 2 minutes before the Democratic Convention ” only, then when on to say that all that followed this misguided mandated prayer would say "IT IS GOOD"? Democrats do not believe in Adultery, Drugs, Abortion, Alcohol, fornication, drunkenness, lewdness, etc. however, the so called right-wing Christians have for years now successfully made it seem that Democrats are not Christians and are immoral people. So many examples today in our lives show that you cannot legislate morality only provide an environment where values of GOD can flourish and yet Stuart Shepard and the organization I enjoyed, up until they have now been revealed, has continue to convey false messages about the Democrats. So many times we found that the Government is not match to morality compared to what we as Parents, Sisters, Brothers, Pastors, Neighbors can do in the home, school, public place and Church.
McCain and the right-wing followers, let me tell you! It is already a tragedy when millions leave their home not knowing whether their way of life will be wiped out by a storm such as Hurricane Gustav. It is a major disruption to people's lives. We should be praying to our Almighty God, right now, for our fellow Americans, instead dishonoring our God and going against the Bible like your followers did, such as James Dobson's Sheppard did when he asked you and your followers to pray "abundant rain, torrential rain ... flood-advisory rain." "I'm talking about umbrella-ain't-gonna-help-you rain ... swamp-the-intersections rain." The type of people who ask this on their fellow Americans is not a Patriot! May God watch over the citizens of New Orleans, supply their every need, protect them, comfort them and keep them safe. Our prayers go out to you and we are with you every hour.
I have the video embedded on my blog--video still works. I also have embedded two parodies of this video, "Pray for Diarrhea" and "Pray for a Tornado."
The FOTF piece was not light humor or satire, unless they were hoping to satirize themselves. And since that organization is evidently devoid of self-understanding or the ability to see things from different perspectives, I doubt that their self mockery was intentional.
They pulled the video because this has turned into a public relations nightmare for them. They are ashamed, not because they feel they did anything wrong, but because they got caught and called out on the godless cynicism which underlies everything they do.
