“..if you have seen the Father you have seen me..”
I highly suspect Obama’s theology, and do not believe he is a “Christian” in the traditional sense!
What a surprise.

The Lords church is spread over the whole globe, and therefore is universal. All are in it who live a good life according to their own religious belief. - HH 328 E Swedenborg.
I really feel sorry for the so called 'Christians' on this thread who actually post such shameful nonsense. Jesus Christ is God. Some may realize this later rather than sooner.
For instance, you could kill an apostate and spend eternity with 72 virgins...
Obama goes to a church that hates white people. What? Did you expect those fools to get the Gospel right?
Ecclesiastes 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
I heard Michael Medved saying the same thing.
They better get straightened out or they might be burning in hell together.
Half truth there- He ommited the part where his church damns whitey for the suffering of blacks.
Before experiencing what could commonly be called a “born-again” experience I may have thought the same thing. There remains ONE way to get to heaven (as far as any human could know FOR SURE) — through accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior! Not through deeds alone!
Whether God, in His infinite wisdom will allow others to enter in - that’s up to Him obviously. But, according to the Bible, the way, the truth, and LIFE are through Jesus alone...
Then he is not a Christian at all. Belief that He is the only path is one of two things required for salvation. The other is acceptance. Skip either and you're not a Christian.
Okay, step back everyone. Don’t fall into the ever-deepening hole Obama is digging for himself.
It is not surprising he believes incorrect doctrine about his faith, given his pastor.
If and when you believe in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, you become a child of God (adopted into the family of God solely because of the merits of Christ).
All people are creations of God. We are all ‘persons’ made in the image of God. Those that receive Christ as Lord and Savior become children of God. It has nothing to do with non-believers living by some personal moral code or not.
Methinks Mooslim morals and Christian morals might be just a tad bit different Barack ol'buddy ol' pal.........
Jesus said;
""I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
The Apostle Paul wrote under divine inspiration;
"That is, the word of faith which we preach: that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
That divinely inspired scripture settles the matter. No other religion or creed can offer a sinner a pardon for his or her sin, and only a perfect, sinless man or woman can enter into Heaven. On the cross every sin of the believer was placed on Jesus and the death penalty for the believer's sin was paid by Him in His death. To complete the transaction His perfect righteousness was reckoned to the believers account at the moment he or she came to belief in and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and placed his or her faith in Him and Him alone for salvation.
Only the divine, sinless Son of God's infinite sacrifice could pay the penalty of eternal death for a believer's sin, and only by having His perfect, sinless, righteousness applied to the believer's account can he or she appear before God the Father's judgment seat as pure and sinless as Jesus Himself.
I don't want Obama to be our president but I do want him to become a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and trust in Him and Him alone for his salvation, and I pray that he will become a believer at some point before he leaves this earthly phase of his life.
This is Oprah’s stand, as well. She is influencing millions of people in her religious views.
If Obama doesn’t believe that we are all sinners in need of a Savior, he may very well not be saved.
that is what this really comes down to as far as he is concerned.
As for me I know I need Jesus.
Without a doubt!
