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

Not only no, but heck no.

Alternate answer: “It depends on how you define ‘Christianity,’ and defining Christianity will not be a part of my job description.”

The answer should be....If Barky is a Christian then he’s an apostate Muslim and a fatwa should have issued. But then there is taqqiya. Let the Muslims deny their own teachings.

NO, but it IS MARXISM. (something I’ve been writing about since March 2008)

Best answer is two parts:

1) please tell me how you define “Christian”;

2) ask Obama yourself if he is a “Christian” Tell me what his answer is.

On my part, I would ask people to read a short passage: Ephesians 5:5.

Anyone who is Christian and certainly anyone who is culturally aware should be familiar with the Ten Commandments. Socialism, by its very nature, inherently violates three of the Ten because it is based on lies, coveting and theft.

In Ephesian 5:5, the Apostle Paul first says that coveting is also idolatry (having a false god). Since socialism is the ideology of coveting, it is also idolatry. Now why that is so, is a longer story for later. But notice the last part of the passage. No person who is a coveter, that is a person who habitually covets or who supports coveting, has any part in the Kingdom of God.

That is simply this: a person who covets cannot qualify for the freely offered gift of eternal life.

Now certainly God invites such people to reconsider, to understand the full spiritual implications of coveting, and to sincerely repent. But alas, not many will.

The good news is that there cannot be any socialism in the Kingdom of God. But the bad news is that socialists will think that telling them the plain meaning of Ephesians 5:5 is “hateful”. Tell that to the Judge who made the Law.

when asked whether he has tried to find out.
No I haven't and apparently neither have you.

Walker: ‘I don’t know’ if Obama is a Christian

Here.. I'll answer that for you Mr. Walker.

"Obama is our Muslim presidink who is running interference for his RADICAL MUSLIM brothers, both globally and here at home.

WHY else would he negotiate a treaty with Iran giving them nearly 20 BILLION in cash, gold, and other assests?

He's DIRECTLY funding the enemy because the FOX is now the CEO of the henhouse while everyone "tweets" and keeps up on the Kardashians.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said on Saturday that he doesn’t know whether President Obama is a Christian

Walker says he's a Christian but can't tell the difference between himself and Obama???

Trump would call (or has) Obama a muzlim...

Obama was the only politician to FIGHT against a law to protect born babies from being killed by abortion doctors outside of the womb.

God’s going to have a word with you also if you find anyway to contort that fact into something a Christian could do. ( actually I wouldn’t mind hearing your explanation though)

Why not just ask Walker what his religious beliefs are? Or ask him if he supports abortion? You know, he is the candidate, not Obama.

Also, there are people who people who are not religious at all who oppose abortion ... you don’t have to be a Christian to oppose abortion ... so if abortion is your main concern then why not just ask the question about abortion directly?

None of us is God and only God knows the heart of a person.

That's true, but IIRC there's a bible verse that says "By their works you shall know them". If you take Obama's support for "good works" such as legal abortion aka murder, or so-called "gay" marriage aka sodomy, into consideration it seems rather obvious, to me at least, that his version of Christianity doesn't jibe with the bible's version.

Well, I can’t find a bible verse that says “by their works you shall know them” so I guess I’m as guilty of lying as Obama is. At least I admit it, and AFAIK he has never admitted any wrong doing.

“You’re not going to get a different answer than I said before,” Walker said toward the end of a Q&A session moderated by Politico’s Mike Allen. Walker said he’s never asked Obama about his faith. “As someone who is a believer myself, I don’t presume to know someone’s beliefs about whether they follow Christ or not unless I’ve actually talked with him.”

Gadzooks. That answer could not be further from the question I asked.

If you believe a Christian can support infanticide, just come out and say it.

Maybe so, but I, for one, am not going to make that judgement call. I’ve known many Christians (myself included) who have acted in very un-Christ like ways at times in their lives. We’re not perfect but we are forgiven.
