I just want to puke hearing him pontificating about what Jesus would do and using that to try to coerce people into submitting to HIM and his plans.

He’s using the tactic I’ve seen so often. Non-Christians have so little opinion of Christians and their mental facilities that they think if they invoke Scripture or Jesus or religion that Christians will just cave being terrified of going against something God would say.

They think that Christians are just sheeple who will follow any directive which references God without argument because heaven forbid someone should think that they’re not Christian because they don’t comply to a non-Christian’s opinion of what a Christian should think or act like.

Well, I have news for you, obama, I know a great deal more about what God thinks than you do and I am NOT being cowed by someone throwing around Scripture or Jesus’ name. You are no spokesman for God to tell me what He thinks of me and what I should do to please Him and I am not afraid of displeasing God by not listening to you, even if you do invoke His name.

Seems to me that someone there doesn’t understand what *Do not take the Lord’s name in vain * really means. It ain’t about cussing.

Jesus, as always, provides us the example, metmom...

When the devil tried to use scripture against Jesus,
he defeated him with... MORE SCRIPTURE.

The defense against any of Satan’s servants using scripture to coerce certain behaviors out of people

is to know the rest of scripture to put it in context.

What did Jesus say?

A ruler went into a far country but first called his servants to him and gave money to take care of business while he was gone.

The first got a large amount, the second half that amount, the third again half.

When he returned the first had doubled his amount, the second did the same. The third hid his money and there was no gain.

Did the ruler take from those who had doubled their money and give it to the slotful servant? NO! He took from the slothful one and gave the money to the one who had made the most money. He told the slothful servant that he should have taken the money to the EXCHANGE BANKERS so there could have been a gain with usery.

But then, so many think Obama is Jesus and want him to tax, tax, tax!

True Christians DETEST barry so he’s only showing his evil more by speaking what Jesus would do. Deception is from the pit.

Now is the time for the religious community to speak out BOLDLY!!

We are told that many will fall away and that there are few who will stay faithful but it’s still saddening to watch as so many who have been deluded into believing they are Christians follow error. Those who put someone or something between themselves and Christ will be lost for eternity.
