I think some of this Muslim stuff is dumb and over the top. On the other hand, has Barack Obama ever gone on record saying that he believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is his personal saviour? A true Muslim could never say such a thing, even as taqqiyah; it would be apostasy punishable by death. A true Christian would have no troubls shouting it from the rooftops. Obama can talk a good game and quote Scripture all he wants; but only in the secular world of the New York Times is he anywhere close to convincing as a Christian!

Really? I had thought that taqqiyah would allow for such things under the cover of Jihad?

I agree with you. Additionally, it is in our human nature to share what we do know to be true, especially when we have overcome a temptation ourselves. Perhaps not boastfully, but in a fashion to glorify truth which we have.

A person raised in an antichristian environment, especially in a childhood preparing him to become a Muslim leader, upon acceptance of faith in Christ, is more likely to immediately seize any opportunity available to communicate the Gospel, as well as communicate the true threats of Islam exercised in covert fashions.

There is also no attack upon God through faith in Christ by which one can overcome and persevere in Him. Obama once commented that he was offended by comments he was Muslim. A believer in fellowship with God through faith in Christ isn’t offended by such a situation, rather a believer is likely to clarify and explain why faith in Christ is so much different than the presumption of Islam. Offense is far removed from the believer in faith. If God is for us, then who can be against us and prevail?

On the contrary, if a person coming from a Muslim background, had the perception that Christianity is just a comparative religion to Islam, and those who attended a church were nothing more than a religious country club members, expecting public accolades for religious morality and community Crusades, then I understand how such a person might be offended in their thinking by an allusion to their religious identity.

Some have suggested Obama has been groomed for his position, in no small part by his personal arrogance, and seeks to blend into public acceptance as being a ‘good’ person. Such a personality fits the mold of a worldly person, who may also trigger many a spiritual sin as well.

I haven’t found anything within Obama worthy of promotion, beyond perhaps the nightshift manager at a fast food restaurant or a video rental store. There are plenty of positions for such talents and I do not deny him that opportunity.

When he has been placed in positions to synthesize his own mental constructs and express them, I have been impressed by an incredibly arrogant lack of love for his fellow man. I also observe him attempting to foment imaginative thoughts in his audience independent of God, and frequently seeking to place himself as the focus or intermediary of their reliance. He tolerates and condones those who exalt him above even God Himself and seems to further harden his heart against those with faith through Christ.

The more I think about how I describe his behavior from my observations, the more it dawns on me that he very well identifies as antiChristian.
