Great minds think alike. :) Last week I remarked to my wife that perhaps "Change We Can Believe In" means we sure can believe that instead of Billy or Franklin Graham (or even a lib like Tony Campolo) there will be a raving bigot making house calls to the Oval Office. BTW, according to Wikipedia, Graham has been visiting Presidents since Truman, and had a friednship and/or counseling relationship with every one of them from Eisenhower on.
I promise you're going to see more from me on this issue...(hee-hee!)
As for the Jesus Seminar, you are dead on. They would probably use their bead voting system to construct a whole noew gospel, the book of Obama. And they're not the only ones...take a look at this.
That was very disturbing. There is no doubt in my mind that so many people in this world are lost and in need of Jesus Christ, but, as the Bible says, they are “tossed and turned by every wind of doctrine” and, I might add, tossed and turned by a lot of plain old malarkey.
As one of my pastor friends once said to me, there is nothing new in this world (well, someone else once said those words before my friend - ha ha)and that all of these new belief systems, whether it’s Oprah’s promulgation of “the secret” or her latest craze about a new earth, this stuff is all OLD; it’s the gnostics, manichaeism (please forgive any spelling goofs), mithraisim, zoroastroism, and etc. Satan can’t create ANYTHING so he just repackages his old lies for new generations....
