Obama & Christianity…

I am so dreadfully sick and tired of so-called Christians making claims that Obama is NOT a Christian.

How can anyone, with the exception of Senator Obama, know whether or not he is truly Christian? How can anyone be so absolutely sure?

On the Willkie’s Pride site to which I belong – a Yahoo group from my hometown of Elwood, Indiana – this is the constant chatter from all these supposed Christians who write on the site. This was one from today:

Barack Obama insists that he is a “devout Christian” of “deep faith,” and Big Media echoes his claim without question. Even some critics hesitate to challenge the validity of that claim.

The ruse that he is a Christian must be exposed for what it really is: Obama’s cloak to conceal that he is a Marxist from a Muslim background, for which he holds widespread support in the Islamic world. This series of three articles will analyze his exploitation of Christian rhetoric to serve the subterfuge.

Now, who in the hell is this woman – one who claims devout Christianity herself – to say whether or not Obama is a Christian, or not?

Is this a judgement?

If you asked this woman, I am sure it would not be a judgement. How do we draw the line between what is judgement and what is fact or what is speculation?

I have always found myself disgusted by Christians who raise themselves to superior positions, but it has only become worse with this current election. They do not realize they are doing Christianity such a hideous diservice.

As my son said the other day, “Why would I want to be called Christian? I consider my self to be a good person who does not try to pass judgement and am kind and accepting of others no matter who they are.”

Out of the mouths of babes!

    Respectfully,

    Jesus said that we could judge to see if people are “in the faith” by means of their fruits. If a person not only says that they’re Christian but also acts and lives like a Christian then they are most likely a Christian. Not everyone who says they are a Christian really is one. Obama is strictly pro-choice (will re-instate partial birth abortion), and is for gay marriage. God’s word speaks with clarity to both of these issues as being sinful yet he is for them.

    Grace to you,

  2. I still find it all very judgemental. As for the last line, I guess I am a sinner.

  3. Riding on your son’s coat tails; I believe in God the Father and Jesus his son who died because of our sins and that he rose again from the dead. I read scripture regularly, both OT and NT. Jesus is the center of my live and I try my very best to follow his teachings.

    I very much hesitate to call myself a Christian, though. It won’t be long before I may stop altogether.
