Obama: Jesus Christ Too Cynical About Poverty(Obama lifts himself above the Creator)
breitbart ^ | 5/12/15 | k mchugh

Posted on 05/13/2015 5:39:24 AM PDT by bestintxas

Obama scorned Christians at the Catholic-Evangelical Leadership Summit on Tuesday, twisting the words of Jesus Christ into an insult against the Savior of the believers he was addressing.

“It’s important for us to guard against cynicism and not buy the idea that the poor will always be with us and there’s nothing we can do,” Obama said. Lest leftists and liberal Christians say his comment was “taken out of context,” but here are his full remarks:

“One of the things I’m always concerned about is cynicism,” Obama said. “My chief of staff, Denis McDonough, we take walks around the South Lawn, usually when the weather is good. And a lot of it is policy talk, sometimes it’s just talk about values. And one of our favorite sayings is our job is to guard against cynicism, particularly in this town. And I think it’s important for us to guard against cynicism and not buy the idea that the poor will always be with us and there’s nothing we can do, because there’s a lot we can do. The question is, do we have the political will, the communal will to do something about it.”

Obama’s quotes Matthew 26:11 in a manner that’s utterly contrary to the verse’s meaning.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

Notice how he picks the opposite viewpoint from Christ.
Sort of like being anti... oh...

The poor will always be with you, and homosexuals, adulterers, and baby murderers will not see the kingdom of heaven.

Anybody who has read Matthew or Luke will know what Jesus actually meant.

PING!

It’s highly significant that Jesus is responding to Judas in this passage.

[Jhn 12:3-7 KJV] 3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son], which should betray him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. 7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

Obama is directly and explicitly disagreeing with Jesus and agreeing with Judas.

Let me translate:
“Empower us to put a gun in the face of those who have anything and give it to others who support us.”

Obama and his wife have twisted the scriptures repeatedly. I first noticed his warped and at times outright blasphemous use of scripture for POLITICAL gain. It bothered when I first heard him speak in 2004 at DNC convention. That speech left me considering him a possible anti-Christ on the rise...and then in the election campaign of 2007-08, little doubt remained.

I do believe he is an anti-Christ as he routinely uses scripture to deceive people. His admonishments regarding the poor are contrary to what his Marxist policies have done to the nation. The malaise and unemployment deceptions betray those not blinded by his lies.

Well, this is a tough one. Who to believe, who to believe....Jesus of Nazareth, (aka God, Saviour, Creator) or Barack Hussein Obama.

Praise Obama from whom all Obamaphones and other vote buying gifts flow. (Sarcasm) But remember the “Obama phone lady” from Cleveland who was doing just that!

Obola, with the help of McConnell and Boehner,
will gladly institute Concentration Camps
to murder the poor, conservatives, and TEA Party.
It is their way.

The filter is off. The facade is down. BO has nothing to lose and no one to answer to. He and his wife are full speed to take down this country.

On the other hand. Moose Limbs are generous to a fault. Look at all the aid they provided to Nepal.

Godless liberals deny all of the bible so for his ilk this is fine.

There are only two possibilities.

Either there will be rich and poor.

or

Everyone will be poor.

There is no option where there is no poor people, thus they will always be with us.

You’re not going to one up God, the best we can do is to take his direction, we simply do not have a long enough view to know how to do a thing and not have it turn to crap.
