OBAMA:
Yep. Every week. 11 oclock service.

FALSANI:
Who's Jesus to you?
(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA:
Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he's also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
FALSANI:

Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?
OBAMA:
Well, my pastor [Jeremiah Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.
I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.

OBAMA:
I am a Christian.
So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.
I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
Ping for this thread and to make a few comments.
Does anyone with a brain in their head actually believe this sack of garbage is a Christian?
I mean, look at these answers. They are right out of the “Oprah, many paths lead to God, baloney”.
I am so disgusted by this man on so many levels, I can’t even begin to count them.
I would hate for young people to read this tripe and believe he is speaking as a true Christian.
I pray for God to not let this man sway the masses away from Him.
FALSANI:
Do you believe in sin?
OBAMA:
Yes.
FALSANI:
What is sin?
OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values.

Obama: “So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place...”
Jesus (John 14:6): “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.”
Unless by “the same place” Obama is referring to Hell, his “roots in the Christian tradition” are NOT compatible with Christianity.
I wonder whether his problematic assertions on Christianity are the result of genuine misunderstanding or a concerted effort to deceive. Only God knows the correct answer here but I have strong suspicions about Obama’s faith.
Does anyone real believe that he has read the Bible? His answers to the questions regarding heaven/hell and sins leads me to believe that he has never read about them in the Bible.
