I’ll explain it. They take EVERYBODY who goes to ANY church with the name Methodist, Baptist, Free Will, etc. and lump them ALL into the “evangelical Christian” category when many, like the United Methodist Church and the United Churches of Christ and others are NOT evangelical in nature but rather social clubs where “spirituality” is preached but not Jesus.
It’s the indoctrination they get in these youth groups. These are very foolish, gullible, and often stupid types. It’s not the old time religion I grew up with where you were taught to think. It’s sad to say many of these young folks are the types than in a different time and a different circumstance might have been followers of Jim Jones or the Hale Bop Comet. Some feel that in some strange way they can be absolved of their liberal guilt by voting for a minority or black. That’s the appeal sad to say. They simply aren’t very bright people. It’s as simple as that.
Yep Obama’s so awesome even the bitter clingers love him.
Some people call those type of Christians who support Obamadan luke warm or backslidden Christians. Others call them faux Christians, as they make their calim to be a Christian because their mothers were Christians. Even yet others just lie like Obamadan of Ramadan on the telephone surveys
Although I have nothing to link you to, to back this up, I would venture a guess that the denominations and churches that have the closest relationship with the World Council of Churches, are the ones guilty of backing Obama.
The World Council of Churches has been a very corrosive influence on Christianity in the United States. It’s basically a subversive, some would say communist front organization, intent on neutralizing the voice of good Christians in the United States.
A careful study of the WCOC and it’s web of influence on our nations denominations, is worthy of pursuit.
I believe that would help to explain what is going on here.
If your church has a relationship with the WCOC, I would advise you to try get it severed.
They used to call this “marketing.” Now it’s called “journalism.”
Born again Christians support the lions . It’s just as stupid..
If true, they haven’t read and understood the Bible. They are just into “born again” for the kicks and self-congratulatory warm fuzzies.
If I remember right, the Bible has something to say about them, and it isn’t very positive... something like “not all who...”.
You all who have read, have eyes to see and ears to hear, will know what I am talking about.
“I dont get it, either. How does one have the Holy Spirit dwelling within him and support the platform of killing unborn children?”
Similarly, I don’t understand how someone can have the Holy Spirit dwelling within him and support the death penalty.
I just dont know any Christians in any way linked to Obamaboy. Point me to one. Muslimes yes.
Someone must think this propaganda is persuasive. Wasted their efforts.
I’ve only bumped into one person out of perhaps 20, whom I believe is a Christian who indicates he supports the DNC in this election, and he bristles adamantly when somebody talks about Obama. He’s Roman Catholic, and it as though he feels betrayed by the DNC and his faith, but refuses to acknowledge the Republican ticket. Even mediocre, theologically ignorant believers I’ve met see nothing Christian in Obama’s behavior or attitude.
I work for a conservative Christian company. Four years ago I’d bet it was 95:5 Bush over Kerry. This year I’d say it is closer to 70:30 McCain over Obama.
Unfortunately, I think the numbers in this poll are not far removed from reality.
No Christian worth his salt backs an abortion/infanticide loving idiot like Obama, that’s no Christian, not at all.
A few strips old board, some nails and glue, oila! you have the makings of your very own soapbox, or as we like to call it, the news. Anyone can string a few words together, post it on some 10th tier website and it becomes news. So what.
