Obama versus Jesus: Black Christians Must Decide ".....A year or so ago, I hosted the first Black Conservative Press Conference at the National Press Club in D.C. Several prominent black conservatives from numerous black conservative groups/organizations spoke. My brother brought my 84-year-old black dad from Baltimore. That evening, Dad said, "Everything I heard today is true. But, because of racism I suffered in my youth, I can not turn against Obama."

At that time, I respectfully gave my hero, my preacher dad, a pass. Some may criticize me, saying, Lloyd, either you stand for conservatism or you do not. While you may have a valid point, it is in my DNA to respect my parents. How do you respectfully tell your usually character-driven parent that his decision to support Obama, no matter what, is rooted in racism and a refusal to forgive?

But now that Obama has been exposed as the most anti-Christian president in U.S. history, senior black Christians must no longer be given a pass for supporting this man. ...................."

Somewhere along the line Christians have lost the fear of the Lord. When God says, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." (Mathhew 6:15) He means it. That's how it will be.

Sadly there will be a rude awakening on Judgment Day. Church-going 'Christians', seeped with unforgiving hearts may very well hear the Lord God Almighty say, "Depart, I do not know you."

Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling. When people truly forgive, they are set free from bitter roots and malice towards others.
