Barack Obama has become a master at utilizing biblical language for his own rewriting religion to favor his apostate, theologically liberal political stance.
To hear Obama, one would think him to be the Billy Graham running for the Oval Office. He invokes the name of Jesus. He quotes Scripture. He pitches his voice in cadence as an old-time evangelist. He poses as a preacher inviting his hearers to the mourners' bench.
"In Macon, Ga., Obama spoke for about a half hour to about 1,000 people at the interracial and interdenominational Harvest Cathedral. He talked about how he became a committed Christian as a young man in Chicago after rarely attending church as a child.
"On his first visit to the church he now belongs to, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Obama said, 'I was introduced to Jesus in a way I had never been before.'
"Part of his mission as a politician, he said, is 'to go out and do the Lord's work.'
"Recounting the biblical story of the Good Samaritan, Obama said, 'Our commitment cannot rest so long as we are still divided by race' and have homeless veterans, poor schools, uninsured people and unemployed workers" per AP's Charles Babington.
Now if Obama is doing the Lord's work, he would shut down every abortuary. Instead, he castigates the Supreme Court for banning partial-birth abortion.
If Obama really came into a soul-tie with Jesus, he would inform every homosexual that celibacy is God's call. Instead, he endorses sodomy, the latter increasing AIDS/HIV.
Obama is one of the chief Pharisees of our times. He is going far over the line in testing the patience of the Almighty. Be certain that at the Judgment Seat of Christ this fellow now proud will be broken for eternity. The Bible warns of such hypocrisy being paid the devil's salary: "The wages of sin is death."
Obama and Hillary Clinton during this campaign have been two of the most brazen religionists who parade in saintly garb while all the time committing their all to that which is knowingly anti-Bible.
"'I was introduced to Jesus in a way I had never been before,'" Obama testifies. To use the terminology of the apostle Paul. Obama's Jesus is not Paul's Jesus. Nor is Obama's Messiah the Jesus of the Scriptures.
It is sick. Soul sick.
Those clergy and congregations who invite these charlatans into their sanctuaries will likewise pay dearly before heaven's holy throne.
May the genuine believers be "wise as serpents" when listening to Obama and Clinton, particularly when they mount the Lord's Day pulpits.
Obama is a muzzie - pass the word.
Best to win by shooting down his ideas, not by lying about him. He's rated more liberal than Hillary, so there should be no shortage of ammunition.
The Dems live and breath for divisiveness. It's what they do to get elected.
Leftist liberation-theology whackos invoke Jesus’ name all the time.
Judge him on his politics...which are to the left of Hillary.
Your funny bone is out of whack.
Which is more hypocritical? Obama in a church? Or Giuliani in a church?
Even demons can quote scripture, doesn’t mean anything.
Will you point out to me where I said I did? If you're referring to my comment, "Obama is a muzzie - pass the word", it was a joke.
Graybeard is a moron-—pass the word.
One of the high hurdles that the GOP has to mount going into this election season is the belief that many have that the Republican Party is the party of “holier then thou”. This article presumes to know what God is thinking and which party God supports. This is harmful to conservatism at best and blasphemy at worst.
which one is gonna get away with it? nay, be applauded for it?
BunkDetector wouldn't recognize a humorous comment if it jumped up and bit him in the ass - pass the word.

So, I have a deep faith. Im rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people, that there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and that theres an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.” (snip)
He is saying, essentially, that all people of faith Christians, Jews, Muslims, animists, everyone know the same God. It is, perhaps, an unlikely theological position for someone who places his faith squarely at the feet of Jesus to take. But that depends on how you hear a verse from the Gospel of St. John, where Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me, Obama says.
Hey, I'm nobody important -- but in my opinion you can't make that statement and be a Christian.
Yep shouldn’t that be Allah?
I get a bit uncomfortable when Christians think there are only two sins on earth: abortion and homosexuality. Given that it’s fairly easy to avoid the first and the vast majority of people have no interest in the second, it’s a great way to preach to the choir. People can get up on their high horse and condemn people like Obama who aren’t “Christian” enough.
Now when Christians start preaching against lying and envy and sloth and greed, the people in the pews start sweating a bit. It becomes a bit harder to point fingers.
Now, I am not voting for Obama. But I just have a problem with the form of Christianity that is quick to define sin narrowly so as to point the finger at “those other bad people.”
Your funny bone is out of whack.
