T.D. Jakes to Franklin Graham: Apologize to Obama
Houston Chronicle ^ | 5/22/11

Posted on 05/22/2011 12:24:59 PM PDT by truthandlife

Bishop T.D. Jakes, a Dallas megachurch pastor who will be preaching at Lakewood Church during Memorial Day weekend, is calling out Franklin Graham on his his hesitancy to accept Obama as a Christian and asking he apologize for casting speculation onto the president’s faith.

We didn’t question the Christianity of President Bush when he said he accepted Christ, and I’m disappointed in Rev. Franklin Graham in that regard,” Jakes told Martin. ”…And I would hope that he would see the rationale in apologizing for such statements — because if the president’s faith is suspect, then all of our faiths are suspect, because the Bible is quite clear about what it takes to be saved and the president has been quite open about his accepting Christ and him openly confessing it before men. And if it’s good enough for the Bible it ought to be good enough for the rest of us.”

Jakes sounds like an a-hole. The only person guilty of “casting speculation onto the president’s faith” is Obama, by his own actions. I mean Barky lies about absolutely everythign else, why should anybody believes anything Obama says about anything?

If Barack Hussein Ubama were on trial for being a "Christian" would there be enough evidence to convict him??

Is TD going to go to the Muslim world and tell ALL the Muslims to "apologize" to Barack?? Every Muslim I have ever met unequivocally will tell you Barack is a Muslim. So who is right and who is wrong? There is more evidence supporting Barack's Muslim faith than there is of him having a Christian faith.

Jakes is a Black guy, so naturally he will lie about obama. Maybe he can tell us when it was that GW Bush ever went on national television and talked about "my Muslim faith."

Ok, so Bush and Obama are the same?

So, I guess by this twisted logic we can infer that Bush was also born to a Muslim Kenyan father, raised in a Muslim countries and attended a madrassa as a child registered as a Muslim, has a fully complete and entirely Arabic Muslim name, is named after Muhammed’s horse, quoted the Koran and Muslim prayers, and praised all things Islamic while disparaging Christianity.

Yeah, that sounds like Bush.

Just another Christian Muzzie sucker. There are thousands of them just like him these days.

One is known by the company they keep. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers are Obama cronies. And just about everybody KNOWS that Obama answers to Georgie Porgie Soros! T.D. has a bigger gap between his ears than the one in his front teeth!

If Jakes can’t see why Senator Soiled Utility Room is suspect, he’s blind man. If the only difference he can see between Dubya and Senator Soiled Utility Room is their color, he is a blind man.

This is the same T.D. Jakes who has plans to co-produce the movie adaptation of the recent bestseller “Heaven is for Real”. Looks like he has been told by the WH to help TOTUS win back some wavering moderate Christian voters. It also looks like I will not be checking out his movies. I’ll buy ten more copies of book “Heaven is for Real” instead.

If Barack Obama were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict him?
