Obama's Spiritual Adviser: His Christian Faith Has Only Deepened
Newsmax ^ | 12/25/2014 | Elliot Jager

President Barack Obama is not expected to go to church during Christmas. The president rarely attends worship services, preferring to read scripture and pray in private, according to Politico. Those familiar with his Christian faith say he does not go to church regularly partly because he does not want to disrupt the experiences of regular parishioners and that the Obama family prefers to use Sundays to bond and for downtime.

"The president's faith has deepened in the second term; he's said as much," said Joshua DuBois, who headed the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships during Obama's first term. Church-going has not been part of Obama's routine since he became president and left Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ and its pastor emeritus Jeremiah Wright...

Why should he go to church?

He can worship himself wherever he is.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That’s true: all he needs is a mirror.

Christians are taught that the Kingdom of Heaven will indeed be established on earth someday (Rev. 21), but I didn't realize Obama'd signed an Executive Order appointing Hisself as THEE One to do it...? Now, that's REAL audacity*! (* a.k.a. = arrogance).

Matthew 7:15-20 (King James Version)

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Does anyone believe this drivel? I don’t believe one word of it.

Oh, he's said as much.

Whether nominally a Muslim or a Christian, his fundamental belief system is that of a sociopathic narcissist, and as such he alone is the only being in the entire universe, and is ultimately his own God as well.

criteria for 301.81 Narcissistic Personality Disorder
(DSM IV - TR)

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

(3) believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

(4) requires excessive admiration

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

I don’t think he would disturb the other Muslims if he came in quietly, unrolled his goat worship rug thingee, and mumbled incantations to Mad Mo.

I don’t think Obama is a Christian. And I certainly don’t think he’s a Muslim. He is a Obamaton. Anyone with his ego worships only himself. He is incapable of recognizing any power bigger than himself. He definitely supports Islam but he’s no Muslim. Religion is only a tool for Obama to further his Marxist ideals.

If Obama is a Christian, he would be willing to acknowledge that “Allah” is a false god.

Well...he dipped his big toe in the holy water some years back. Now he is up to his ankles in the Word. Just deep enough to muddy the weaters.
“A” son of God indeed. There is One Son of God and He is Christ. No Christian believes Christ is one of several sons, only Muslims and Mormons and other prattling fools, like the current POTUS whose arrogance is exceeded only by his ignorance.

Church-going has not been part of Obama's routine since he

was born, and remains to this day, a taqqiya spewing, filthy, muzzie goathumper.

So, we are to just have faith in Obama and believe that his faith has increased? Odd that nothing he does indicates he is a Christian. Whatever happened to the old biblical phrases about how people shall know you are Christians by your love, etc.

Yes: I’m a shrink by trade for a quarter century, board certified, and yes, those are the criteria, and yes, they certainly seem to apply.

Extend them on out to the sociopathic end of the spectrum, and you can see the danger of the times in which we live.
