Obama: "I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."

Q&A: Barack Obama
"I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."
Interview by Sarah Pulliam and Ted Olsen | posted 1/23/2008 02:18PM

Barack Obama wants to set the record straight. He is not a Muslim, as recent e-mails falsely claim.

The Democratic presidential candidate is fighting the e-mails that have been widely circulated. Obama has been continually speaking about the role of faith in politics since his Call to Renewal address in June 2006.

In the days before the South Carolina primary, he is driving efforts to speaking with media to emphasize his Christian beliefs. His campaign also sent out a recent mailer portraying the candidate with his head bowed in prayer and says that he will be guided by prayer when he is in office.

The senator from Illinois spoke with Sarah Pulliam and Ted Olsen today about his faith, abortion, and the evangelical vote.

Obama: "I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."

What has that got to do with running for president, barak?

And while i'm on the subject, how can you be against the death penalty for convicted criminals but pro-abortion?

In what universe is that not a symptom of insanity?

I don’t care what he says. He is a Muslim by birth and no amount of crap he can put out is going to change that.

This is democrat chestnut that goes back at least to Jimmy "washed in the blood" Carter. They obviously play upon the goodwill of evangelicals and otherwise have no regard for them; else they wouldn't turn their innocence into gullability.

He’s a muzzie. He looks like one. It’s that shifty look and beady eyes that give him away.

No, it's just a trial balloon for the Obama/Huckabee ticket.

"You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." James 2:19

But does Obama trust in Jesus for his salvation? That is the key.

I would think that, if a genuine belief, it has a whole lot to do with being President.
But someone with this as a genuine belief would have a hard time holding some of Obama’s position on other issues.

Which is just what a jihadi would say, under the "lie to your enemy" doctrine.

Barak probably believes what he said. Silver tongued devils often do.

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

"I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ." says Obama

This is a lie!

He promotes the murder of innocent Americans babies, mostly black babies.

He promotes perversion.

He promotes the stealing from one group to give to another group by the force of government.

He promotes the coveting of the goods of others.

you don't run for president on your profession of faith. you run on your demonstrated ability and wisdom.

that is, if you have any.

Funny, Barry O, but I don't recall Jesus preaching racism and antisemitism a la your "spiritual mentor" Dr. White...
