Alleged new Recordings of Jeremiah Wright cast doubt on Obama’s Christianity

In 2008, video recordings of Jeremiah Wright’s sermons came closer than anything else to derailing Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Now, four years later, there appears to be audio recordings of Wright that may be damaging to Obama as well. Those recordings, allegedly in the possession of author Edward Klein, consist of Wright telling Klein some unflattering things, to include charges that Obama attempted to silence Wright in 2008.

One claim had to do with Obama’s Christianity. During an appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Klein said that Wright wouldn’t go so far as to say he converted Obama from Islam but he came awfully close:

…the Reverend Wright told me on tape, that Obama came to him and said, ‘I need some spiritual advice; I don’t know exactly who I am’ and the Reverend Wright said… ‘Well we know your Islam background… but what you need now, is some coaching on Christianity.’ And I asked the Reverend Wright ‘did you convert him from being a Muslim to being a Christian and he said, ‘well, I don’t know if I could go that far but… I made it comfortable for him to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background.’

When one converts to Christianity – from any religion – isn’t the point of doing so to renounce your previous religion? Look no further than John 3:18-21:

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Let’s not forget John 14:6 either:

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Does Islam not repudiate Christianity by denying this central component? Why is the reverse not true as well? Christianity must necessarily repudiate Islam for the same reason.

If Klein’s claim is true, perhaps the best we can say about the president is that he is a ‘Chrislamist,’ which means he is not a Christian. At worst, the president is feigning Christianity for political expediency so that he can remain a Muslim.

For some reason, this 2008 slip is looking a bit more freudian today:

Religion, in the context of a belief system, I don’t think he has one, other than himself. He’d be happy to be a Caliph or a Messiah.

"Could it be he never left it?"

When viewed from the muslim perspective, everything he's done begins to make sense.

Between Obama and the Current Pope we have quite the pair at one time in history.

A long far cry from the vanguard of freedom of the 1980s.

Well, presuming you're speaking of the religion of African slaves, I'd disagree that had any lasting impacting on blacks in America. Certainly through most of the 20th century and the 19th to the extent it was an issue, blacks were majority Christian.

If you're referring to blacks traveling to the US back in the day as in his pop, sure, he was a Muslim.

If you're referring to the Nation of Islam, I don't think most Muslims are thrilled with them, not believing Fard Muhammad was the Mahdi. As to the origin, is it an offshoot of the Muslim faith brought over by slaves, interesting question, I don't know, but there's some logic to it.

What’s with 2008? I thought Obama and Wright went back 20 years of Sundays. At least that was the story back in .... 2008.

Hmmmm. As I recall, 2008 was an election year. ;)

And why won’t the LA Times release the video of hussein at an event celebrating Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi?

These must be really incriminating.

Remember when Obama said that he thinks Jesus is “a son of God”.

No believer would say that, even as a gaff.

It’s like saying Hercules was a son of Zeus.

This guy is such a fake. He lies over and over about everything — even his commitments to religion.

Probably not incriminating, but enough to deny him the election. Not to suggest the LA Times is a journalistic enterprise, but I often speculate with friends when, or if, it will come out. Information which even the LAT acknowledges was and is politically significant, thus not published.

They just know what the score is… most people find it unacceptable to be lied to or to associate with liars. Moose-limbs have been indoctrinated to believe that lying is ok and (in fact it is admirable) if it is for the cause of islam. Need more explanation?

Apostate Muslims face the death penalty at the hands of their ex-coreligionists.

So do smokers and drug users.

My opinion...Obola was *once* a moslem...is *now* an atheist...and has *never* been a Christian.

Actually, no Christian could possible make this 'slip of the tongue'....it's an impossibility. He's a moose-limb all the say.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKGdkqfBICw

“...This administration is race blind...”

Extreme sarcasm, I presume.

There were a LOT of Wright’s sermons archived on the “church’s” web site in ‘08 and I suffered through several of them. As soon as they started showing his “G-D America” clip on tv, ALL the video links disappeared from the site.

I didn’t pick up anything Christian about the church. Just Black Liberation Theology and islam.

Most racist administration I’ve lived under, though I don’t remember Truman much.

Truman laid the groundwork for the racial integration of the armed forces. Eisenhower completed the job. Truman, Democrat though he may have been, was a decent human being.
