  1. QUERIDA HERMANA: ¿COMO HA ESTADO? HACE TIEMPO QUE NO LE ESCRIBO, ME GUSTARIA PREGUNTARLE SOBRE ATI Y EL SEÑOR GOTTHARD, ¿HA LEIDO USTED SOBRE LOS ABUSOS DE ESTE HOMBRE? REALMENTE NO ENTIENDO A LAS FAMILIAS CRISTIANAS QUE TODAVIA LO SIGUE, SIGUEN SUS MANDATOS, HACIENDOLE CASO SOBRE LO QUE TIENEN O DEBEN HACER. ¿USTED ME PUEDE EXPLICAR ESTO? ¿PORQUE HAY FAMILIAS CRISTIANAS QUE PARECEN QUE ESTAN CIEGAS? ESPERO QUE PUEDA CONTESTAR. BENDICIONES.

    1. Life has been interesting here. I have been writing some things, but I have not gotten any of them ready to publish yet. I hope to soon.

      I did leave a comment on the blog post that had the video about ATI and Bill Gothard. If you check that you will see my answer. Blogger does not seem to be sending all the comments in email like it should.

      You have asked a good question. Partially I would say there is not a good answer to it. We have been puzzled as to why people continue to follow Gothard and ATI after all the things that have been exposed about him. But, also I think that people still believe that if they follow his plan that their children will grow up to be good people and follow the Lord. Gothard (and others like him) have made great efforts to frighten parents about all the bad things that can happen to their children. Then they claim that they have the "perfect plan" to keep that from happening (which usually costs the parents money to obtain!). No one has a perfect plan except God. Yet even some of His children rebel and do wrong sometimes. To think that a mere human plan can be more perfect than God Himself is foolishness. To think that a man made plan can make people better than the plain word of God can make them is also foolishness. Rules never can replace the work of the Holy Spirit and the word of God in the individual life of each Christian.

  2. GRACIAS HERMANA POR LA RESPUESTA, ESTOY TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO CON USTED, EL HOMBRE SIEMPRE QUIERE SER MAS QUE DIOS, EN SU SOBERBIA Y ORGULLO, ARRASTRANDO A OTROS A SU PLAN, DEJANDO DE LADO LOS MANDAMIENTOS DE NUESTRO PADRE CELESTIAL, QUE LAMENTABLE, CREEN QUE LO QUE ELLOS DICEN, ES MAS VERDADERO PARA SEGUIR QUE LO QUE DICE EN LA BIBLIA. ME ENTRISTECEN LAS FAMILIAS QUE ESTAN CIEGAS POR ESTA SITUACION, SE DEJAN ARRASTRAR POR DOCTRINAS DE ERROR. BENDICIONES.
