Where there are differences, we find strength in our common humanity, knowing that we are all children of God.”

Towards the end of his speech at Tuesday morning’s Easter Prayer Breakfast, President Barack Obama appeared to veer off script to make some comments that implicitly referenced the fierce debate that has been raging over the last week about “religious freedom” laws in Indiana, Arkansas and elsewhere.
“On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love,” Obama said. “And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned.” As the crowd began to murmur, the president backed off, saying, “But that’s a topic for another day.”
“I was about to veer off,” he explained. “I’m pulling it back.”
“Where there is injustice we defend the oppressed,” Obama said, returning to his prepared remarks. “Where there is disagreement, we treat each other with compassion and respect. Where there are differences, we find strength in our common humanity, knowing that we are all children of God.”
The moment drew the attention of Fox News, which played this section of the speech on air. “The divisiveness over some issues coming up, but not Christians under attack around the world,” Martha MacCallum noted, referring to the recent attack on a Kenya university that explicitly targeted Christians.

Does seem real weird that this harper-on-love has nothing to remember about Rev. Wrong. Shouldn’t this guy have been gagging him out big time if he is sincere?
And let’s not forget Christians on high horses.
He is the messiah after all.
Hey Ø, if there are many ways to Heaven as you seem to believe then Jesus’ death was MEANINGLESS.
Obama is so ignorant of genuine Christianity that he quotes the first murderer, Cain, for a summary of his faith.
When Obama says, “I am my brother’s keeper”, he is not expressing a genuine Christian value. Perhaps he does not know that the Hebrew word for “keeper” refers to a keeper of livestock, a herdsman or a shepherd. The keeper of a herd or a flock does not do so out of his love for animals. Instead, his end is to slaughter his cattle and shear his sheep.
Even worse, perhaps he is not ignorant, and he does know that, because that’s pretty much how Obama and the ruling elite view the rest of humanity.
Seems like it would be hard to call yourself Christian,& yet not understand the basic premises of Christianity.

You mean christians denouncing islam as fake is intolerant. Wrong that’s truth..obamma thinks christianity should adalt his ideas of what live is..
No one should be on a higher horse than he.
I despise this man!
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” Romans 12:9
Faith has to have an object. So what(or whom) is the object of his alleged 'deep faith'? His statement of '...I draw from the Christian faith' tells my his 'deep faith' has no object at all. It is at best intellectual and most likely fraud for public consumption only.
I don't ever remember him mentioning Jesus by name.
Actually four cities. Sodom, Gomorrah, Zeboim and Admah.
Zoar was spared because LOT went there, then left quick.
Beware of someone who is convinced he is the smartest person in the room.
If he’s a christian, I’m the 13th apostle.
John 14:6New International Version (NIV)
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
He purposely conflates love and liberty in order to propagate a decidedly anti-Christian message.
I got a “less than loving” expression for this arrogant dork
Matthew 7:14King James Version (KJV)
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
