President Barack Obama said in a speech delivered Thursday evening that Americans should ponder the words of Jesus Christ this Christmas season and make their actions conform to them.
“So long as the gifts and the parties are happening, it’s important for us to keep in mind the central message of this season, and keep Christ’s words not only in our thoughts, but also in our deeds.”
Obama was speaking on the Ellipse in front of the White House at the ceremony for the lighting of the national Christmas tree.
“More than 2,000 years ago, a child was born to two faithful travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among the cattle and the sheep,” said Obama. “But this was not just any child. Christ’s birth made the angels rejoice and attracted shepherds and kings from afar. He was a manifestation of God’s love for us. And He grew up to become a leader with a servant’s heart who taught us a message as simple as it is powerful: that we should love God, and love our neighbor as ourselves.

Apropos of nothing, Jesus is considered a revered prophet by muslims.
In related knews Obama looked up from the back of his limo while pushing Larry Sinclair’s head back down in to his lap and said “I think Rosie O’Donnell is smoking hot!”.
Which is of course either Arianism or modalism, depending on your take. Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity.
What does HE know of Jesus Christ, other than using His name as a curse?
“More than 2,000 years ago, a child was born to two faithful travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among the cattle and the sheep,” said Obama. “But this was not just any child. Christ’s birth made the angels rejoice and attracted shepherds and kings from afar. He was a manifestation of God’s love for us. And He grew up to become a leader with a servant’s heart who taught us a message as simple as it is powerful: that we should love God, and love our neighbor as ourselves.
You are all invited to come down to Hawaii and join the Mrs. and myself at our Holiday residence.If you cannot afford the trip I will send Michelle’s private plane for you.
Christ’s words about how we should live on this earth are important.
It was His death and resurrection that are the purpose of His coming to earth.
Huh! And here I thought He grew up to provide salvation to all who would believe that he is THE way, THE truth, and THE life — the only way to God. Didn’t realize he was just a servant leader. Glad the theologian-in-chief set me straight /s
Obama is a total fraud.
Did he then rhetorically mock the Sermon on the Mount as he has been known to do? Of course that’s after he gets done ridiculing Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
Nice try Obie...Christians accept Christ as Savior.... as the Son of God... not a prophet.
He did not call Jesus the Son of God, I couldn’t help but notice...

No where was Jesus’ idea of loving thy neighbor inclusive of giving the government money so that the government could then pick which if our neighbors got loved by that money. NO WHERE.
Barack HUSSEIN Obama is to Christianity like kitten is to West Coast Offense.
What an insult! This is the same man who spoke with a Crucifix covered and leaves out the words “under God” on a regular basis.
Christians would not say this.
Obama better be mighty careful. While what he says is correct, it’s clear he doesn’t mean it.
Whenever this Muslim traitor speaks about Jesus, it is obvious that he does not know Jesus.
The “See-I-really-do-care-about-God-so-vote-for-ME” speech.
FUBO!
