Why Americans Don’t Think Obama is a Christian
The Christian Diarist ^ | June 25, 2012 | JP

Posted on 06/25/2012 7:13:22 AM PDT by CHRISTIAN DIARIST

President Obama proclaims himself a Christian. But two-third of Americans either don’t know it or don’t believe it, according to a new Gallup poll.

I count myself among those who don’t believe it. And not just because the president has managed to attend Sunday church services not even a tenth as many times as he has stolen away from the White House to play golf.

The Scripture warns us to beware of those “who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits?”

I believe, as do many evangelical Christians, that Obama is such a ravenous wolf. And the fruits of his presidency bear witness.

On Obama’s watch, more than three and a half million abortions have been performed in this country. Yet, the professed Christian has done absolutely nothing to stop –or even reduce – the ungodly slaughter of the unborn.

That’s because Obama has cast his lot with the nation’s abortionists. “I am pro-choice,” he has declared. He also has stated, “I believe in Roe v. Wade,” the 39-year-old Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand, that denied the humanity of the unborn.

Meanwhile, Obama has so ingratiated himself to the homosexual community that Newsweek magazine admiringly proclaimed him America’s “first gay president.”

He earned that dubious title by repealing the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, ordering his Justice Department not to defend in court the federal “Defense of Marriage” law, and, most recently, coming out in favor of same-sex marriage.

What particularly offended about Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage is that he dared to suggest that Christ would bless such unholy unions, even though Scripture declares it nothing less than “an abomination” for man to lie with man.

Then there was the Obama administration’s argument before the Supreme Court that church employees can claim workplace discrimination when they are fired because their beliefs or conduct are contrary to tenets of their faith-based employer.

Even Obama’s appointees to the High Court, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, agreed that the administration’s position amounted to an attack upon religious freedom. That’s why they joined their fellow justices in a unanimous ruling against Obama’s imps.

Finally, there’s the provision of the Obamacare law that requires churches and faith-based employers to not only provide, but also pay for contraceptive for their workers – no matter whether they were married or single.

The controversy went supernova when the president’s Democrat allies in Congress held a hearing at which Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, who turned out to be a radical feminist activist, made the case for why religious institutions should not be exempt from the contraceptive mandate.

When Fluke was taken to task by radio host Rush Limbaugh, who wondered why a single woman like Fluke would need birth control unless she was sleeping around, Obama came to her defense.

That’s because she was doing the president’s bidding, furthering his secularist agenda to force religious institutions to be conformed to this morally fallen world, which bombards young women and men with the message that there’s nothing wrong with sexual promiscuity as long as they use “protection.”

Such are the fruits of the Obama presidency. Little wonder that two-thirds of Americans do not identify him as Christian.

I find it hard to believe that the president is any sort of devout Christian.

He has said that he was attracted to Christianity as an adult, by such tenets of Christianity as being our brother’s keeper, and our sister’s keeper.

For him to cite a completely mangled and misunderstood interpretation of a Bible story as his inspiration for Christianity, indicates to me that he has very little understanding of the Scriptures, and little understanding of Christian theology.

He could very well be an atheist (fits in with his Marxism nicely), but he’s either Moslem or a Moslem apostate, due to his father’s Moslem faith. And he was raised and educated as Moslem by his stepfather, Sotero.

Obama believes in Jesus the way all Muslims do...he believes he was a teacher, perhaps a prophet...but not divine.

If Obama were not a Muslim, Jeremiah Wright would not have needed to present his "church" in a way that made room for Obama's "background" (read: faith) in Islam.

That said, Obama is his own type of Muslim, just as all martyrs believe they can deviate from the teachings and still be forgiven because of their sacrifice as martyrs. BTW, this is why Islamic martyrs hang out at strip clubs and drink heavily and do drugs in the months and days before they commit their acts of terrorism.

Obama's act of terrorism has had a much more damaging effect on America than those martyrs of 9/11. He is bringing the entire country to the brink of the abyss.

All you have to do is listen to Obama.When he speaks he speaks more highly of Islam than he does of Christianity.

He is even able to read the Quran.So what does that tell you?

NO TRUE, BIBLE BELIEVING, JESUS LOVING, GOD FEARING Christian believes he is a Christian. I know of NO Christian that I listed above would support abortion and the murder of the unborn in the womb or anything homosexual, marriage, etc. These two reasons tell me he is a liar and a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is EVERYTHING the Scriptures warn us about. Thus, AMERICA BE WARNED!!!

I have no proof that Obama is a Muslim/Communist/Marxist or whatever, but we do know that in his formative years these are the tings that he was taught, and is very sympathetic to all of those causes............

Obama said there is more than one way to God. No Christian can say that.

Its pretty easy actually.

Socialism is the ideology that we must live at the expense of each other. Anyone familiar with Torah will easily see how that structure must directly and openly violate two of the Ten Commandments (theft and coveting).

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul makes it very clear in Ephesians 5:5 that no covetous person has any inheritance in the Kingdom of God.

This is a rephrasing of his warning to in 1 Corinthians 5:10-11 and 6:10

Ephesians 5:5
(5) For you know this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous one (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
(9) Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,
(10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Many covetous (or sexually immoral, etc.) people may claim to be Christians, but they clearly repudiate the values that Jesus says they must have as a condition of His offered gift of salvation. (John 3:16)

He’s either a closet Muslim or a Muslim-sympathizing atheist.

Well, when 0bama spoke with the gushing Georgie Stephanopolous, he said "my muslim faith" before little Georgie stepped in and changed it to "CHRISTIAN" for him, to which he never really acknowledged. But actions speak much louder than words and he has, at every turn, promoted the muzzie philosophy over CHRISTIANITY. Also, check the ONLY school records available for this so-called brilliant guy - his Indonesian school records: young Barry Soetoro is identified as an Indonesian citizen and a muzzie.

That whole Sodom and Gomorrah, fire raining from the sky thing was all just a big misunderstanding, right?

American blacks have a long history of selecting false Christian messiahs. MLK denied the bodily resurrection of Christ, among other heresies.
