In July of last year, Hillary Clinton gave an interview to New York Times reporter Michael Luo about her faith. It’s a fairly in depth interview. Well, for your listening pleasure, The Brody File found the actual audio from the interview and it’s real interesting.
Reading the transcription of the interview is one thing but hearing Hillary Clinton talk about her faith is very different. Listen here. You can read the transcription here.
At the time, the article got significant play but some of the quotes from the whole interview never got used in the article. Here are some key quotes that I thought you might be interested to look at:
Hillary Clinton: I believe in the father, son, and Holy Spirit, and I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit on many occasions in my years on this earth.
Reporter: Can I ask you theologically, do you believe that the resurrection of Jesus actually happened, that it actually historically did happen?
Senator Clinton: Yes, I do.
Reporter: And, do you believe on the salvation issue -- and this is controversial too -- that belief in Christ is needed for going to heaven?
Senator Clinton: That one I’m a little more open to. I think that it is, as we understand our relationship to God as Christians, it is how we see our way forward, and it is the way. But, ever since I was a little girl, I’ve asked every Sunday school teacher I’ve ever had, I asked every theologian I’ve ever talked with, whether that meant that there was no salvation, there was no heaven for people who did not accept Christ. And, you’re well aware that there are a lot of answers to that. There are people who are totally rooted in the fact that, no, that’s why there are missionaries, that’s why you have to try to convert. And, then there are a lot of other people who are deeply faithful and deeply Christ-centered who say, that’s how we understand it and who are we to read God’s mind about such a weighty decision as that.
Reporter: And your attitude toward the Bible about how literally people should take it...
Senator Clinton: I think the whole Bible is real. The whole Bible gives you a glimpse of God and God’s desire for a personal relationship, but we can’t possibly understand every way God is communicating with us. I’ve always felt that people who try to shoehorn in their cultural and social understandings of the time into the Bible might be actually missing the larger point that we’re supposed to take from the Bible.
Is it possible for the Holy Spirit to visit one, other than for salvation and repentance, if one is committed to baby killing? So, is HRC repenting of her sins?
First of all, God had to have been involved in what went “on paper” with respect to scripture. In this process HE would impart meaning in a way that was unambiguous. Second, the words ‘as fine as you seem to be doing’ were a part of what I wrote.
Of course God was involved in what went “on paper”. I disagree, however, that God would necessarily impart meaning in a way that was unambiguous. I think your implication is that ambiguity is a bad thing; I am not convinced it is bad.
This is pretty plain to me. I think that’s why they got so mad at Jesus:
John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
I am sure she has, ever time she voted to support partial birth abortions.
You are right. She hasn’t.
>I think your implication is that ambiguity is a bad thing; I am not convinced it is bad.”
Dude, you’re having me on or you’re a lawyer.
Clarity can equal superficiality.
I had a great comment for this thread, but I censored myself . . . LOL !
Spoken like the true anti-Christ that she is.
Senator Clinton: That one I’m a little more open to.
Uhhhhhhh......that's a no, and Hillary is not a Christian in any sense.
I laughed when Howard Dean told MSNBC she was a "devout Methodist."
Un huh.
Just like Barak (Peace Be Upon Him) Obama is a "devout Christian" with his pan African racist church.
Anything to win votes, anything at all to be elected. What a transparent, lying phony, and the left wing hordes who want her as their president don’t see it or just don’t give a damn. They’re just as ammoral as she is.
Acts 4:10-12
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Really?
Do you live in america?
Have you heard of george washington?
Well, xenalyte???
Last I heard she was into channeling Eleanor Roosevelt.
Are you nuts? How many pepsi’s did ya drink?
One thing to feel and know...another to follow and obey.
Liberalism is a religion to her. Government is the alter from which she practices her religion.
