Obama: Teachings Of Jesus Christ Helped Change My Mind on Gay Marriage
weeklystandard.com ^ | May 9, 2012 | JOHN MCCORMACK

In 1996, Barack Obama supported gay marriage. In 2004, while running for Senate in Illinois, Obama was against it, he said, because of his religious faith. But in his big interview today, President Obama cited the teachings of Jesus Christ as a reason for his decision to support gay marriage:

Roberts asked the president if First Lady Michelle Obama was involved in this decision. Obama said she was, and he talked specifically about his own faith in responding.

“This is something that, you know, we’ve talked about over the years and she, you know, [the First Lady] feels the same way, she feels the same way that I do. And that is that, in the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people and, you know, I, you know, we are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Excusing sin is not a kindness.

I'd like him to show me where in the Bible a practicing homosexual is in Christs ministry. He won't find any.

Uh, Mr. President-

“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

When Jesus said “Love one another.”,it was not an invitation to sodomy.

Let us see. With apology to The Good Lord I have set forth some modified scripture from the Book of John:
3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a MAN taken in THE ACT OF SODOMY; and when they had set HIM in the midst,
[4] They say unto him, Master, this MAN was taken in SODOMY, in the very act of INSERTING HIS MALE MEMBER IN THE RECTUM OF ANOTHER MALE.
[5] Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should die. but what sayest thou?
.......”

Jesus didn’t go to the Cross to justify perversion.He died so that they could repent, be forgiven, and have the promise of eternal life. Hey BHO, show me in Scripture where homosexuality is condoned. IT ISN”T! Stop using Jesus as a prop to support your twisted ideology.

Christ's teachings on sodomite "marriage":

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8)

Jesus said,”Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Jesus knelt, and began to write in the dust. One by one, they dropped their stones and fled. Looking up, Jesus said, “Where are your accusers? Now, go and SIN NO MORE, LEST SOMETHING WORSE COME UPON YOU! Jesus didn’t excuse her sin. He exposed the hypocrisy of the mob and gave the adulterous woman an admonition to repent and stop committing adultery!

Indeed. Maobama’s lying. He was always for the state redefining marriage into a “gender-neutral” institution and just lied so far to con church going minority voters.

you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated.

There is a very crude joke in their regarding homosexual sex and the President wanting to be treated some way...

Obama the “Christian” says his “faith” is why he’s for gay marriage, against self defense, for government taking more of the money you earn and just giving it to who they think deserves it more, for killing unwamted infants born alive, and griping against those people who cling to their guns and bibles.
