Obama talks about his faith
politico ^ | 8/21/12 | BYRON TAU

Posted on 08/21/2012 11:29:20 AM PDT by ColdOne

In an interview with the Washington National Cathedral magazine, President Obama discussed how his faith influenced his politics — saying that at the end of the day 'God is in control.'

“First and foremost, my Christian faith gives me a perspective and security that I don’t think I would have otherwise: that I am loved. That, at the end of the day, God is in control," Obama said.

Obama also tied faith in God to his belief in a compassionate role for government.

Talk about your strategically timed dog and pony show. Real Christians don't need to talk about their faith, the live it.

” Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone’s “Christianity” and Farrakhan’s “Nation of Islam.” They are two prophets in the same philosophical (Marxist) pod, merely using different religions as backdrops for their black-power aims. “

There is no such thing as

“I’m a Christian but there are many ways of salvation”

No Christian thinks the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound on earth.
Must be close to election day.

“God is in control”

Spoken like a true moral relativists that excuses evil behavior.

God holds the reset button and throws life lines out here and there. The Creator left humans to be stewards of this earth that have the authority to chose their own path/civilization. God left instructions if humans want to progress in the correct way but those rules have been deemed repressive by the truly “enlightened” malignant human progressives.

“Thats why I blow off the National Day of Prayer breakfast every year since I took office.”

Take it from me, Barak, you are most certainly NOT loved. We despise everything you represent because you've never played straight with conservatives. And your 'supporters' are only behind you for "what they can get." It's strictly a financial/power transaction for Democrats. So spare us the phony Christian stuff.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7:22-23

Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.
