....or even real Americans.
...the ideas to which he aligns himself do not match the values, principles, and truths for biblical Christians.
No, but they match the corrupted values, principles and truths of Black Liberation Theology.
on the one hand, liberals invoke His name to add legitimacy to their agenda; yet, when the ten commandments are seen on public property it stirs liberal controversy, handwringing, hateful rhetoric and endless litigation to have them removed while invoking the “separation of church and state” principle. (mendacious liberals; not an oxymoron.)
IMHO
Oh, how I desperately wish one of his acolytes would “get in my face” with such a defense.
Jesus NEVER taught that salvation comes with engaging in charitable work on behalf of needy people, nor did the apostles, nor does the bible.
Young's literal, word-by-word translation reveals what this passage actually says:
37 `Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink? 38 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around? 39 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee? 40 `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did [it].
"Brethren" is in apposition to "the least." It means Jesus is speaking of someone who helps out even the least of Jesus' "brethren," that is, those who believe in Jesus.
Clearly, what Jesus is saying is that even the smallest FAITH IN JESUS is rewarded. If that SIDING WITH JESUS is revealed in nothing more fleeting than helping some insignificant believer, then that minimum demonstration of faith in Him is sufficient for salvation.
There have been lots of articles & discussions about Obama being a new messiah. I just finished reading Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals.”
Alinsky says, ‘The organizer is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach - to create, to be a “great creator,” to play God.’
Obama really bought in to Alisky.
