IS BARACK OBAMA REALLY A CHRISTIAN OR AN ENEMY OF GOD?
"Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes
an enemy of God." James 4:4
Senator Obama has been very up front during the campaign
about his Christian faith. Only God can judge his heart
if indeed he has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal
Lord and Savior, but based on his public statements
about his faith as well as his actions, it is critical
to explore what he believes and see if this man really
is a Christian as he claims. What does Senator Obama
believe regarding the basic tenets of the Christian
faith? What does he believe about salvation?
Senator Obama is part of this new and emerging group of
Christians I have called the "religious left." The
"religious left" is made up of people who identify
themselves as Christians and hold strong religious
beliefs as well as sharing left-wing ideals. Obviously,
this group has risen up in opposition to those who have
been tagged the "religious right" or the "Christian
right." Those in the "religious left" oppose God on
issues like abortion and gay marriage, but are heavily
involved in the ecumenical movement, environmental
issues, opposing war for any reason, world hunger, and
social issues like healthcare, welfare, and education.
Sound familiar?
I am sending a formal invitation to Senator Obama to sit
down with me on camera and deal with these serious
questions regarding what he believes about his Christian
faith. He has been eager to talk about his faith to the
media and has appeared in many televised programs
specifically about what he believes. Sadly, those who
have interviewed him and moderated these special
programs on faith, have either not had the understanding
or desire to ask Senator Obama the critical questions to
determine what this man really believes regarding the
foundational beliefs of Christianity.
A Christian, according to the Bible, is a person who has
made the conscious choice to accept Jesus Christ as
their Savior by faith and follow Him. You CANNOT be a
true follower of Jesus Christ and deny the Truth of the
Bible. It is inconsistent to say, " I am a Christian,"
yet live in rebellion to the Bible. It is apparent as
you listen to Senator Obama speak about his faith, that
he does NOT hold the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant
Word of God, representing Absolute Truth and our final
authority in all matters. Jesus said, "If you love me
you will obey me," and that means His Word!
So what are Senator Obama's beliefs about the most
important issue of all, how to be saved? He claims his
mother rejected Christ, yet he knows she is in Heaven.
He stated in a recent interview, "I believe that there
are many paths to the same place." This is the damnable
universalistic lie leading millions of souls to hell
that there are many roads leading to God. He also said
that "he doesn't know if he is going to Heaven, nor does
he believe he or anyone will go to Hell." How can you
claim to be a Christian, yet not believe in Heaven and
Hell?
JESUS SAID," I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO
ONE COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." JESUS TAUGHT
THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY TO BE SAVED, AND THAT IS
THROUGH FAITH IN HIM, AND THAT THOSE WHO "BELIEVED IN
HIM" WOULD BE FOREVER WITH HIM IN HEAVEN, AND THOSE WHO
REJECTED HIM WOULD BE CAST INTO HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY.
HOW CAN YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN YET DENY GOD'S PLAN
OF SALVATION THAT SUPPOSEDLY SAVED YOUR SOUL???
The fact Senator Obama denies Jesus is the only way to
be saved, that there is no Heaven or Hell, that the
Bible is not the only Truth, calls into question whether
he believes Jesus was immaculately conceived by the Holy
Spirit and born of a virgin as the Bible claims, or that
Jesus literally rose from the dead as we are told in
Scripture. Faith in Christ is not a political game, but
a life changing experience that determines where your
soul will spend eternity. It is time for Senator Obama
to be held accountable for what he says he believes to
examine if he really is a Christian!
Also calling his faith into question is his position on
three key spiritual issues that transcend into the
political arena. ON ALL THREE SENATOR OBAMA IS ON THE
OPPOSITE SIDE OF GOD! First is his position on abortion.
His entire political career he has not just voted to
uphold the slaughter of innocent babies, but he has been
a defender of those rights. He has been such a staunch
defender of this practice of legalized infanticide that
he was endorsed by NARAL, one of the world's leading
baby killing organizations. GOD CALLS ABORTION MURDER
AND NO CHRISTIAN IN CONSCIENCE CAN DEFEND OR SUPPORT
MURDERING INNOCENT BABIES!
Second, is his position on the sin of homosexuality.
Again, his entire political career Senator Obama has
been a staunch ally and supporter of the homosexual
community. He is in favor of redefining God's Holy
Institution of Marriage to include men marrying men and
women marrying women, he is in favor of redefining God's
plan for the family to include adoption by same sex
couples, and he is in favor of special rights for people
who choose to engage in deviant sexual relationships.
GOD CALLS HOMOSEXUALITY AN ABOMINATION AND THE BIBLE
DEFINES THIS ACT AS A SIN FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT THROUGH
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
Third, is his position on Israel. Senator Obama is in
favor of giving away part of the land that God Himself
gave to the children of Israel to their enemies, whose
stated goal and desire is to kill every Jew and wipe
them off the face of the earth. God's promise to Abraham
found in Genesis 12:3 is still in effect. It reads, " I
will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I
will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed
through you." NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO GIVE AWAY THE LAND
GOD HIMSELF GAVE TO ISRAEL!
If Senator Obama wants to support slaughtering babies,
the homosexual agenda, giving away Israel's land to
their enemies, and promote New Age lies about salvation,
that is fine. However, don't do these things and call
yourself a Christian. I never have or ever will endorse
any candidate, tell people who to or not to vote for. I
want to warn all Christians that you can't separate your
faith in Christ from who you elect to influence the
spiritual issues of our day. You are not voting for a
pastor, but should be voting for someone who will uphold
your faith and values. When you vote, you are voting
your conscience.
I will be praying for Senator Obama and his family.
Praying that he has a real encounter with the Lord Jesus
Christ. His campaign slogan is CHANGE. I pray that
Senator Barack Obama will CHANGE from being an enemy of
God who lies to people that there are many roads that
lead to God to being a man of God who will boldly and
without shame tell people the ONLY way to be saved is
through faith in Jesus Christ. I pray that Senator
Barack Obama will CHANGE from being an enemy of God who
supports the legal slaughter of babies to being a man of
God who seeks to overturn Roe vs. Wade and take the
Federal Government out of the business of legally
slaughtering babies.
I pray that Senator Barack Obama will CHANGE from being
an enemy of God who supports gay marriage, gay
adoptions, special rights for gays, to being a man of
God who will condemn this sin and try to help those in
bondage to homosexuality find freedom. I pray that
Senator Barack Obama will CHANGE from being an enemy of
God who seeks to give away the land God gave to Israel
to being a man of God who will be a friend to and
defender of the Jewish people.
The Christian faith is not a buffet where you can pick
and choose what you want to believe. We don't get to
determine what Truth is, God has already done that and
given it to us in the Bible. The public statements
Senator Obama has made about being a Christian and his
position on key spiritual issues are totally
inconsistent with someone who has a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. His chief campaign
slogan is CHANGE. I pray that Senator Barack Obama will
CHANGE from being an enemy of God to a friend of God!
