You have to ask him. I cannot answer that question for anybody. All I know is I’m a sinner, and God has forgiven me of my sins… You have to ask every person. He has said he’s a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is.”

Sorry Franklin,

Those who support gross immorality, such as Abortion and the Gay Agenda, are not Christians.

By their fruit you shall know them.

As Christians, we should not equivocate about important matters such as these.

[SoConPubbie]

What else would you expect him to say? If someone says they are a Christian, you cannot know what's in their mind or heart, and you sort of have to take them at their word.

The bible states that by their fruit you shall know them.

Obama supports Abortion and the Gay Agenda.

Obama is no Christian, no matter what comes out of his mouth.

I cannot remember ever seeing 0bama anywhere there is any Christian religious symbol displayed. Not since he had to put his hand on something in January of 2009. I may be forgetting something, but Georgetown comes to mind.

[SaxxonWoods]

I’m a conservative. I believe in freedom of religion. Obama can be whatever he pleases and can tell the truth about it or lie about it.

Does anyone recall if Notre Dame covered up the Touchdown Jesus?

[MrB]

I don’t see why he couldn’t say that 0bama says he’s a Christian, but I’ll leave it up to others to determine the veracity of that statement. Jesus says you’ll know them by their fruits. Everyone can see 0bama’s fruits.

[Pollster1]

Barack sees himself as close to Jesus, just not in the same way as a real Christian would.

The Bible says, “Judge not, lest ye be judged.”

BUT..........

If it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, and walks like a duck.......IT MUST BE A DUCK!!!!

This is the normal response from someone like Rev. Graham.
I understand what he means when Obama told his dad he was.

99% of the comments on that site have the left blowing lava. Graham really ticked off the left by not just blessing Obama and declaring him a Christian.

Have any of you noticed they do the same thing with Patriotism?

1. They protest too much.

2. grief, see #1. They know he isn't patriot or Christian and neither are they. Many feel guilty about and strike like trapped vipers. The left fears their own morality and being judged for it because they know they are wrong.

[FreeAtlanta]

Obama supported and promoted bills to leave a baby, who survives the abortion attempt, to die alone without any medical treatment.

So many people want to protect themselves using the verse in Mathew 7, "Do not judge, or you will be judged" and picking sawdust out of your brother's eye when you have a plank in your own eye.

They conveniently ignore the rest of the chapter where these words are written,

• 15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

  Mathew 7

[Mike Darancette]

Why does he have to say that?

One thin is for sure Obama is not a "Cradle Christian".
