Q. What is Dr. Dobson's connection to Jack Abramoff?

There is a popular method of insulting people needlessly: person x is friends with person z. Person z is a bad person. Therefore, do not trust anything that Person x says.
As you can see from the example above: Dr. Dobson denies any association with Mr. Abramoff.
Some folks tried this same method with Jesus:
A. Jesus spent time with people who were sinners. (True - we all are.)
B. Jesus is therefore a sinner. (False.)
The ironic thing is that if we deny that we have any sinful actions ... then we deny that Jesus is willing to have anything to do with us.
Here is a better syllogism.
A. Jesus spends time with sinners who acknowledge their guilt. (True.)
B. We are all sinners & have each gone our own way. (True.)
=> We are made holy by spending time with Jesus in honesty. (True.)
