Activist: 'Pastor to presidents' (Billy Graham) replaced by gay bishop (Gene Robinson)
One News Now ^ | November 12, 2008 | Jim Brown

Posted on 11/12/2008 4:07:02 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

A conservative Christian activist says it's a sad omen for the Obama administration and the United States that Barack Obama has been seeking guidance from the Episcopal Church's first openly homosexual bishop.

The Times of London reports that the president-elect sought out New Hampshire homosexual bishop Vicki Gene Robinson for advice three times during his presidential campaign. Robinson, whose ordination in the Episcopal Church has caused a deep rift within the Anglican Communion, was reportedly sought out by Obama to discuss what it feels like to be "first."

Robinson notes in their three private conversations, Obama voiced his support for "equal civil rights" for homosexuals and described the election as a "religious experience." Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, believes Obama's consultations with Robinson show the true tenor of his upcoming administration.

"It looks like Billy Graham has been replaced by a gay bishop. We're moving to, perhaps, our first anti-Christian president; it's beyond post-Christian. Gene Robinson advocates homosexuality as part of the Christian experience," he explains. "Now Bible-believing Christians cannot accept that. Homosexual practice is sinful, as taught by the scriptures. This man [Obama] pretends to be faithful to Christianity, even as he works very hard to undermine it."

LaBarbera suggests Robinson may possibly replace Jeremiah Wright as one of Obama's main spiritual advisers. Wright was Obama's Chicago pastor for 20 years before disassociating with the controversial preacher during the presidential campaign.

I never thought I'd see the day when Wright would actually be the better choice of two spiritual advisors.

Just a foretaste of the future I guess. I suspect Obama will do to the US what Robinson did to the Episcopal Church. When things start to come apart at the seams, we will at least know who to thank for all that “great” advice.

Obama is an impostor on two counts:

1) He is a false Christian based on one damning piece of evidence—his declaration that there are many paths to God—and the rest of the evidence is window dressing (support of abortion and gay marriage, etc.)

2) He is a false American, possibly not natural born, but certainly not anywhere near the Framers concept of an American philosophically

The people wanted to be fooled, though.

So what is the "homophobic" Farrakhan going to say about this?

Farrakhan blames homosexuality on "Hollywood Jews" and endorses Obama. Obama chooses Vicky Gene as his spiritual advisor. And both Farrakhan and Robinson, who are supposedly anathema to each other, remain silent and keep supporting the same guy!

Ever notice that in professional wrestling the heels never feud with each other?

The Anglican Church in Africa, the largest growing branch, has almost totally rejected Gene Robinson.

Obama is here seemingly rejecting his fellow Africans in favor of an American Bishop whom many U. S. Episcopalians and many Anglicans worldwide have rejected to the extent that they are in the process of forming a separate Episcopal/Anglican movement.

No Surprise Here.

Scroll down and see the name: Barry Sotoro.

I think that is the name on his Adoption Birth Certificate and that his LEGAL name is stil Sotoro. Does that mean that voting for Obama was voting for a name, not a legally named PERSON?

I’d love to see all those votes thrown out. But I’m not ready for a civil war, so . . . .

Wikipedia says “he” (Robinson) was given the name Vicki at birth, because his parents wanted a girl and they didn’t expect their child to live. Too bad they were wrong.

Now, now, you know you're not supposed to be raising up and interrogating the dead in your spare time. =)

Out of curiosity, what exactly did the Framers intend for an American to believe, philosophically?

And on the subject of spiritual advisors. . . It's not like Obama could have made a right choice within this particular Chruch, you know. The whole Anglican Communion has basically turned itself into the punchline of a really bad joke lately.

One thing that was overshadowed in the whole Rev. Wright controversy, is that the whole United Church of Christ mainline denomination is about THE most revisionist/liberal so-called Christian denomination in America.

This group, the UCC—sadly descending from New England Puritan Congregationalists—was ordaining openly practicing homosexuals 30 years ago....back with Vicki Gene Robinson’s Episcopal Church only whispered about such things and Vicki Gene himself was fathering (heterosexually...)children....

Obama’s claim to being a Christian is his 20 year involvement in a church which preached Anti-Americanism, Jew-Hating, fliers which referred to the “state” of Israel, the Govt. invented AIDS to kill black people...

I don’t believe Obama is a Christian, I doubt he believes in God, he has all of the trappings of a hard left secular humanist, minus the compassion.
