Doubling Down On His Religion With Another Flop?
Wading Across Blog ^ | 9-29-10 | Wading Across

Recently Mr. Obama attended an event in New Mexico where a supporter asked him a question about his faith. Mr. Obama answered; he wants to be clear after all. ... Sorry, but the more he opens his mouth and speaks about his faith, the more I am convinced that he is either a deluded fool, or an outright liar. If he truly does believe he’s a Christian, the beliefs he’s been taught run contrary to what I know of orthodox Christian beliefs – more so, what someone who professes to be a Christian would say when asked/pressed about their faith. ... At the very least, if Mr. Obama is truly a Christian, he needs to sit down and not only learn about what he believes and why, with logical consistency, but to be able to give a testimony and gospel presentation that doesn’t make more questions than actually clear anything up! Maybe I’m being too reactionary, too willing to get up on the bully pulpit, but I, like so many others are left utterly confused by this man, and every time he tries to clarify himself, we remain confused. No other president – not even George W Bush or Bill Clinton – has been this divisive. A good leader does not want to foster or promote confusion, even if there is disagreement. More importantly, a true Christian will leave no one confused about what he believes or the reality of who he is. Denominational differences are one thing, but Mr. Obama’s continued statements on faith go far beyond denominational, doctrinal differences. His confusing statements go right to the core of Christian orthodoxy, which crosses denominational lines.

Why is he a Christian ? ...
Wrong question....
Why is he claiming to be a Christian now ?
Answer : since he saw his approval numbers take a nose dive because people are starting to realize he is actually a Muslim, he has to find a way to bring up those approval numbers up , soooooooo ? one of the Democrats tricks to fool the people is to claim your a Christian.
See how it works in Democrats world ?
They bash Christians all year long, then, when it's time for elections, they get all Christiany on us...

Christian???

America is in a huge crisis and most do not see it... the guy has a parallel government...

Ever wonder why muslims like him so much?... ever wonder why we will fail in our defenses against them (purposefully and intentionally)?

His most recent answers show that he's been coached about "grace" and "salvation," but saying that he's helping people find "their own grace" and talk about "achieving salvation" and "brother's keeper" shows that he's not really taking it (or us) in. His description still veers toward morality and good works. Redo raises F to D.
