True Christians™ know the Lord God has our best interests at heart. We know that if we trust and obey Him, we'll be blessed (and if we don't, we'll be cursed with disease and death and destruction and even never ending hemorrhoids and all kinds of things we want to avoid, see
Deuteronomy chapter 28 for details). We know the Lord's Ways are so far above our ways (Isaiah 55:8-59) that to the unregenerated soul they seem positively insane (1 Corinthians 1:18). However, our job is not to criticize or even ask question, but to obey (Ecclesiastes 12:13). In that spirit, I think Josh Duggar must have obeyed some magnificent calling personally delivered by the Holy Ghost.
Here are the facts.
- We know Josh Duggar gave his little sisters surprise slumber party visits, sometimes in their sleep, sometimes not. We know Josh Duggar isn't Catholic, nor did he fondle his brothers, so we know he's not a gay pervert.
- We know that Jesus sees all things (Hebrews 4:13), and when he saw Josh Duggar go into his little sisters' bedroom, climb into bed with them, slip his hand under the sheets, again and again and again, Jesus didn't correct him.
- We know Josh Duggar accepted Christ at the age of seven, so he wouldn't have done anything wrong anyway (1 John 5:18).
- We know Jim Bob Duggar doesn't tolerate perverts, and in fact ran for public office with a strong conviction to harshly and unsympathetically punish perverts.

- We know Jim Bob Duggar did not execute his incestuous son, so he can't have been a pervert.
- We know God has called people to incestuous behavior in the past, and has blessed them, and has counted them among the Righteous for all time (Genesis 19:36; 2 Peter 2:7).
- We know Josh Duggar can't be guilty because evolution is not true:

If evolution is true there is no ultimate Judge on the bench who will hold every man, woman, and child responsible for their actions. And if evolution is true you will not give an account for every idle word you speak.
"The truth is, we all use Christian Morality to judge people. The very idea of judgment comes from Christianity."

What we don't know is why the Holy Ghost wanted Josh Duggar to sneak into his little sisters' bedroom and play Creepy Uncle Charlie.
But it is not for us to ask (Job 38:4-11).
We can learn a lot about Biblical obedience and family values from the First Family of Family Values, and I encourage all parents to prayerfully consider just how seriously they take their faith.
