Obama's Church Replaces Head Pastor - Vanity
Trinity United Church of Christ Website ^ | February 25, 2008 | notbuyingit2

Posted on 02/25/2008 9:51:57 AM PST by notbuyingit2

It looks like the senior pastor at Obama's home church is retiring after 36 years at Trinity United Church of Christ. Perhaps they are replacing him in anticipation of an Obama presidency with someone less controversial. Hmmm...just musing...

MINISTER

Beautiful are the WORKS of God!

CONGREGATION

Beautiful also are the SKINS of my people!

MINISTER

Beautiful is the MIND of God!

CONGREGATION

Beautiful also are the HOPES of my people!

With His blood He has saved us. By His Power He has raised us!

CONGREGATION

To God be the glory for the things He has done!

MINISTER And always remember, my Father’s children, that God is GOOD…

CONGREGATION

ALL THE TIME!

TOGETHER This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes

I'm sorry, but I have a problem with that WHOLE call to worship. THEIR people built the pyramids? Their people were the first to sail them? Since when were blacks Norseman or Phoenicians?

The timing is impeccable. But strictly a coincidence, I’m sure.

Distance -— The guy was a Racist and now Obama looks clean again. Perhaps the Guy is retiring to become a Born again Muslim joining Louis F.

Yeah, I’m sure when the Louis Farrakhan endorsement was revealed, the connection to Wright suddenly became an issue.

This was announced some time ago.

Wright had to go. He was just too radioactive.

He was a a club the Republicans could beat Obama to death with.

Now he’s gone and the 20 year relationship in which he was a mentor and adviser to Obama are gone with him.

Too bad!

Probably, I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to Ross Perot. We do see that it's okay if the people of that church say "our" people and then add lies on the end to the statement.

MY people, my people. Whatever. What happened to the American people? Oh, I know. MICHELLE didn't acknowledge them until last week.

He does hold a masters degree in the history of religions with a focus on Islam from the University of Chicago Divinity School.

I’m gonna miss Rev. Ike.

In 1965, I was working for Honeywell EDP as a systems support rep in the Boston Sales Branch. Reverend Ike was a customer. He had leased one of the very first Honeywell 200 computers - - a big deal at the time and super expensive.

He had a room full of women opening envelopes stuffed with so much cash and so many checks that he needed a mainframe computer to keep track of it all.

The women were closely watched by armed guards. His staff watched the guards and the Reverend watched everybody.

Met him several times. Until I saw "Mr T.," Reverend Ike held the record for the most gold on a human being.

America is being fooled by Barak Hussein Obama!!

“YES, MUSLIMS ARE MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” “WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH WHO ARE MUSLIMS.”

I am Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. I am invited by churches all over America to speak about ISLAM and its threat to America and the West.

I have had concerns about Senator Obama,s honesty regarding his so called Christian faith.

I called The United Church of Christ in Chicago Illinois, where Senator Obama is a member. If Senator Obama were indeed a Christian, he would be regarded as an “Apostate” which according to Islamic Law, would mean he would be subject to a death warrant imposed upon anyone who leaves Islam, according to the Prophet Mohammed. Many muslims who have left Islam have been murdered on this basis worldwide. Putting Islamic law aside, Obama would still be condemned by Islam. However, in Senator Obama’s instance, Muslims in America are joyously happy to think that Obama would be a Muslim President in the white House. Obama is deceiving America. Muslims would not be endorsing a Muslim who left Islam and became a Christian.

It is important to note that I had four witnesses to this telephone conversation with his church. The date, time and length of the entire conversation can be verified by phone records. The following is the conversation I had with the church, regarding his membership there.

“My name is Usama, and I am from Egypt. I am interested in joining the church. I need to ask some questions please.” The operator directed me to the membership office. I proceeded to ask questions that only a Muslim would ask. “What is the difference between Baptists and your church?” She responded, “ We believe exactly what Baptists believe.” My second question was, “How big is your church and what kind of church is it?” She responded, “We are a Black African American Church and we have 6000 members. I asked, “Do I have to attend Sunday school classes or other meetings to be a member?” She answered “No.” I asked, “Do I have to be baptized to join the church?” She again answered, “No.” I asked, “Do I have to pay a membership Fee to join?” Her answer was No. I then asked her what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, “That sounds easy. One last question please. IF I AM MUSLIM AND I BELIEVE IN PROPHET MOHAMMED, PEACE BE UPON HIM AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN JESUS, PEACE BE UPON HIM, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY ISLAMIC FAITH TO BE A MEMBER IN YOUR CHURCH?” SHE ANSWERED, “NO. WE HAVE MANY MUSLIM MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” It is important to note that Muslims would not attend church.

I asked her, “Is that how Senator Barak Hussein Obama became a member?” There was silence. I went on and stated that his father and step father were Muslims, his grandfathers and grandmother are Muslims, his uncles and aunts, nephews and nieces and cousins are Muslims and everyone in his family in Kenya are Muslims. She replied to me, “I am sorry, I cannot answer these questions for you.” I of course sensed she was uncomfortable. I ended the conversation by saying to her, “YOUR CHURCH HAS DONE GREAT HARM TO THIS COUNTRY BY COVERING A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING AND THAT WOLF IS SENATOR BORAK HUSSEIN OBAMA.” End of phone call.

This is fraud to the people of the United States of America.

Sincerely,

Usama Dakdok

P.S. I am willing to expose this to the media in all outlets. God Bless America

That's what they think. They will find out soon enough it is not the case when I and others unleash the storm upon him in a few months.

in response to your telephone conversation to Obama’s “church”:
Amen!
This “church” has also been called a regular representative of black churches in America. I have watched alot of pastors sermons on TV, and I have NEVER heard a black pastor in any church (no matter whether almost exclusively black or mixed congregation).. speak like Mr Wright! In fact, I have heard more than one sermon speaking to the unity of ALL people, that race or age or social or financial status, or nationality .. NOTHING divides us, as we are all seekers who come to church.
Without going into details about Christian beliefs, I have Never heard any sermon in any church, where a minister has said “GOD damn America” or any of the other outrageous, leftist, hate-filled things Mr Wright has said!
He is not only a wolf in sheep's clothing for Islam, but for Christianity! He sounds like a socialist, and a communist, who may be more associated with the “Black Muslim” propaganda than any true believer of either religion!
