And so even if he did; well he disobeyed Christ. But Christians, this side of heaven, have a sin nature as well as a redeemed nature. Disobedience is possible for a Christian. If you judge that Bush is not a Christian because of such a sin, then be careful that someone (not God, but enough to cause you real heartache) doesn't declare YOU out of the Christian fold because of some sin of yours. What goes around comes around honey.

Yes we are all sinners...and all our righteousness is as filthy rags to our Holy God.

We are not talking about sin here we are talking about denial of the person of Jesus Christ..selling the birthright of America for some pottage. Like Judas selling Jesus for 30 pieces of silver..

This was going to be a difficult line to walk..but instead of even trying he just caved into the moon god..

So next time W says god bless America..ask yourself which god he is calling on.Cause that is now a question..

Well said! I think there are many people on this thread that need a strong dose of HUMILITY. If GWB was wrong in hosting this Muslim feast, and I believe he was, we can pray that he be convicted of that sooner, rather than later. King David was a man after God's own heart, yet he sinned grievously--and was forgiven for it. One of the strong aspects of his story was his humble and broken-hearted response to God confronting him with his sin.

I've seen plenty of evidence that GWB's faith in Christ is real, and he articulates his belief in the gospel and demonstrates how real it is to him.

I once listened to a presentation by Muslims offered in a rather liberal church that I had grown up in. I believed what they said about their faith because I didn't know better and hadn't been taught well. Does that mean I wasn't a Christian then? I hardly think so, and I have since learned more and understand more about the exclusivity of the Christian faith.

The Bible speaks very plainly about the stronger and the weaker brother, and while I think the President is very strong as a believer in certain areas, he is not as strong in others. That does not somehow disqualify him as a Christian...thankfully, the blood of Christ covers all the sin in a believer's life.
