I’m getting a little sick and tired of Barak Obama who belongs to an aberant cult “church“, maligning the faith.
“HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Sen. Barack Obama told a church convention Saturday that some right- wing evangelical leaders have exploited and politicized religious beliefs in an effort to sow division.
“Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in remarks prepared for delivery before the national meeting of the United Church of Christ.
“Part of it’s because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us,” the Illinois senator said.
“At every opportunity, they’ve told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design,” according to an advance copy of his speech.
“There was even a time when the Christian Coalition determined that its number one legislative priority was tax cuts for the rich,” Obama said. “I don’t know what Bible they’re reading, but it doesn’t jibe with my version.”
Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ, a church of about 1.2 million members that is considered one the most liberal of the mainline Protestant groups.
In 1972, the church was the first to ordain an openly gay man. Two years ago, the church endorsed same-sex marriage, the largest Christian denomination to do so. Obama believes that states should decide whether to allow gay marriage, and he opposes a constitutional amendment against it.”
First, Christ was and is the creator God – at least according to the Bible and is the absolute of the Christian faith. Christ as creator isn’t “Republican” or “Democrat” or even independent. In fact the current world system and it’s affairs are but a mist in the wind to God who controls everything whether we believe it or not or even like it or not.
Yet no so-called body of believers Christ can accept nor tolerate the ordination of a gay man or woman, nor endorse the marrying of members of the same sex, nor the murder of the unborn for “convenience”. Comments on this are not necessary, it’s not my opinion, it’s God’s – read the Bible.
I doubt Obama has ever touched the thing.

Who are you judge to say if someone is a Christian or not or if his Church is a cult?
I think you need to read the Word where it talks about Judging others…

2In the same sentence Jesus said “Judge not” he also said “Beware of false prophets”. It also says to expose those false prophets who malign the truth. (Eph. 5:11).
Perfectly “Biblical”.
