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:

many thanks for the ping!

This article supports Scott Walker’s assertion that 0 isn’t a Christian.

They’ve got Wright on tape...

(looking for a link to Scott’s assertion, but may not need it, in light of the tapes)

The ‘born in Kenya’ one has newspaper articles as well as bloopers said by Michelle & 0 himself....

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

That was my experience, as well.

Lots of black liberation theology, with a strong undertone of Islam.

And wasn't Reverend Wright a Nation of Islam member before he became associated with the United Church of Christ?

Obama is a far cry from the vanguard of freedom leading the world in the 1980s.....

Bo Dietl asked about wearing an impressive ball-cap during Hannity interview:

"I wear this in honor of Ronald Reagan---the only real
president we once had.......not that thing now in the WH."

=============================================

The current Commander in (gag) Chief.

2008 primary candidates Hillary and Bill had pics of Obama in Muslim dress---but Uncle Teddy warned them not to use them.

Obama's half-brother Malik holds up photo of
Obama in Muslim dress, worn on visit to Kenya.

Born a moslem. Once a moslem always a moslem....or dead.

That's sometimes how it works...but not always.

We spent 10 days in Kenya just last year.While there we spoke to many Kenyans...cab drivers,hotel staff,game park guides,etc.They *all* had much to say about Barry and among the things they *all* said was that they're convinced he was born in Kenya.

OK then, the next question:

When did he stop being a moslem?

He stopped being a moslem...in *his* mind...when he realized that there were too many rules.IOW,at about the same stage in his life that the Senior Senator from Chappaquiddick stopped being a Christian.

However Obola,like mos Western atheists,clearly has a soft spot in his heart for the Religion of Pieces.It's that old "enemy of my enemy" thing.

I disagree.

From his actions, he's an obvious America-hating enemy agent, an unashamed moslum terrorist dirtbag.

He always sides with "The brotherhood".
