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.”

Just another mega church huckster that wears loud suits, and wouldn’t know Jesus if he drove up to Jakes’s mansion in an Impala.

Just looking out for his “people”.

There went a couple of books off my reading list, and my bookshelf.

Do I know for an absolute proven fact whether or not GWB or Obama either one is a Christian? No, but I know what they have each revealed of their characters.

President Bush was by no means perfect, but I believe him to be a man of character and integrity. President Obama, well, not so much.

Obama is not a Christian. Everyone knows that. This man should shut up.

This man is a shyster at a black social club... he is no preacher and he does not serve GOD.

If that’s true (I do not doubt it) then the Potter’s House should lost it’s tax-exempt status. How come liberal black churches get away with that?

Why are New Blank Panther’s allowed to violate white people’s voting rights?

Black is the new White with the “Klan with a tan” in charge.

Life will be tough on the unraptured dhimmi crackers.

Is there enough evidence to convict Obama of being a Muslim?

There's less evidence to convict him of being a Christian.

He attended a "liberation theology" church in Chicago. Liberation Theology, by the way, DENIES the authenticity of Christianity so it can arrive at its message of class struggle being salvation and oppression being sin.

Liberation theology fails to grasp the whole of the Biblical message of hope and life through Jesus Christ. Coming to the Christian message with a previous commitment (at all costs) to a power struggle on behalf of a particular grouping of people, Liberation theology is incapable of addressing the deeper needs of individual people of other groups and the human race as a whole. While Liberation theology is correct in pointing out how Sinful attitudes and actions can become institutionalized, it fails to comprehend, or take seriously, the radical nature of individual sin and the danger it poses. Liberation theology denies the one true solution to human sin – the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I read the same thing about TD Jakes, which means he is not a Christian.

How many 2x4’s between the eyes does it take for folks to understand that Jakes is a TV preacher, AKA, snake oil salesman and he is a neegrow....everything he says emits from those two facts....next question?

I wasn't familiar with any basis for the objection you raised, but, in searching, ran into T. D. Jakes' February 2000 response in Christianity Today to certain of his critics. Thoughts?

Jakes is a heretic and that is being kind.

“A politician can be for gay rights, abortion (even partial term abortion), and say that Jews ought not to settle in Jerusalem—and still not be criticized by the black church.”

And over 40% of abortions are little black babies.

The silence is deafening.
