President Barack Obama told an Easter Prayer Breakfast held at the White House on Tuesday morning that the resurrection of Our Savior Jesus Christ puts everything in perspective.
I wanted to host this breakfast for a simple reason--because as busy as we are, as many tasks as pile up, during this season, we are reminded that theres something about the resurrection--something about the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, that puts everything else in perspective, Obama told a group of Christian clergymen and government officials in a brief speech in the East Room.
And thats why we have this breakfast, Obama said. Because in the middle of critical national debates, in the middle of our busy lives, we must always make sure that we are keeping things in perspective. Children help do that. A strong spouse helps do that. But nothing beats scripture and the reminder of the eternal.

...and then, lightning struck him.
Not surprising another muzzie in the white hut could, too.
I’m surprised his tongue didn’t catch fire.
And how many times have you heard him speak like that in the last three years? How many times has he been to church in the last three years?
Yes, it is pretty basic for someone who has Jesus in their lives, 24/7, but quite for someone who would rather golf than take his family to church.
Just saying!
One thing you’ll never hear from a liberal “Christian” is any scripture about the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ.
And if you don’t believe and confess that exclusivity,
you’re denying what He did was necessary for salvation.
That;s good enough for me...I’m sold. He’s a Christian. He sounds so Christian, how could anyone NOT believe him?
See the post above yours.
No lib that I know can really be a “Christian”.
Obama's life and actions show that he does not mean it.
Take a second glance:
"...during this season, we are reminded that theres something about the resurrection--something about the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, that puts everything else in perspective, Obama told a group of Christian clergymen and government officials..."
Do you know "what season" it is? Do you know who "we" are? Do you know what "we" are being "reminded" of? Do you know what "something" there is "about" the ressurection?
You do? Good. Now here's the final question:
Do you think Obama has the same answers as you?
He wants you to presume he does.
But he did not say so.
Muslims have no problem speaking about Christ, they don’t believe he is the son of God, or a Savior, they believe he was a prophet whose lessons were fragmented and Mohammad had to come to finish the message.
That makes them think they are knowledgeable and Christians have no clue, infidels, etc...And when we tell them they are wrong and there is only one savior and no other path to Heaven it becomes blasphemy..
But every lib DOES have the core value that Christianity is not THE ONLY WAY to salvation.
He’d lose more of his base than he’d gain of discerning Christians by stating the confession of exclusivity.
Your description is very like the philosophy of liberalism.
The main reason anyone proclaims liberalism is to feel superior to others.
Just believing in what Christ said...
I am not bothered by folks who decide to believe in other paths,their choice, I look at it as they are not called to life in heaven and have the right to do so, I just wish that they could understand that Christ told us the truth, to Jews, to Islamist to anyone who would seek Him, there is no other path to God.
All other paths were severed by God with Christ on the cross.
If there is any feeling of superiority in that it is simply God proclaiming His superiority to our decisions, follow Him, you will come to Jesus feet...and be free.
Not like liberals, no need to lie to achieve the goal...no manipulation of superiority, just the truth...
I like the statement, also, that says
“all paths lead to God, but all others but Jesus lead you to Him as Judge and not as Savior”
uh-huh. He also talks about lowering spending and being responsible and protecting America.
You don’t see any of that do ya?
Just words.
Really well stated. Thank you.
That’s really good. I never heard that 1 before who said it?
