RightlyDividingWordOfTruth -> RE: Is Barack Obama a Christian? (2/21/2008 3:55:59 PM)

It's soooo sad. The honest truth is that no one will lead this country the way it should be lead. You are right the enemy is laughing. Laughing because some of us think that there is a man on this earth to lead us perfectly. No human can lead this country perfectly according to God's word. Jesus is the only ruler that will lead us in truth and in the standards that God has set up for his people.
So you are fooling yourself if you think this world is going down because of a human name Barack Obama. This world is going to go down regardless, because it is written in the word of God.
And you have a lot of lovely, well stated things in your post, but they become void as you continue to read your post and see you past judgement at the end. At any rate any of us can say that another person isn't Christian. We can use the bible to prove it, but the next person can use the bible to say hey look no they are christian. That's not our job. And I included need to stop the foolishness.
Let us get real. None of these politicians are perfect and it's sad that we buy into the real thought that any human on this earth is going to lead us according to God's perfect standard. Some of us don't even understand the standard to its fullest.
One thing I do know is that I already have my president. The one who will lead and guide me in all truth. The one who is in charge regardless of what the world thinks. Solomon and I are on the same page. Proverbs 21. And that President, that King is Jesus Christ/God/H.S.

I'm an old woman, at least when I read some of these comments and think back over the 55 years that I have been on this earth and the changes that I have seen, it makes me feel old, or sometimes like I have lived too long...but, then I realize that if the Almighty has allowed my days to be such, He must not be finished with me.....when I was growing up there was a saying.....to help me distinguish between those that I should associate with and those with whom I should not.....if it looks like a pig, smells like a pig, sounds like a pig and acts like a pig then, surely it is a pig.....another..... believe nothing you hear and half you see (in other words: check it out for yourself).....there seems to be a lot of justification and defending going on here....we live in a political correct society, and I am so sad to say, the Christian community has bought into the absurdities as well, all the while the enemy is sitting back and laughing his head off at "us"......while it is true, no one knows the heart of another, the Bible says that we don't really know our own hearts, and we are not to judge, or else we will be judged by the same measurement that we judge one another....It does make it very plain that we judge our selves......if we look, act, smell, sound, etc. like the worlds, then we must belong to the world.....today I received an update from FRC Update:
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) is pushing a bill in his state's legislature that seeks to declare abortion a fundamental right for all women. The bill would make abortions virtually immune to state regulation, end conscience protections, and most likely force the numerous Christian-run hospitals in the state to close rather than be forced to violate their faith by carrying out abortions or referring women to abortuaries. The bill also would expand the field of people who can perform abortions while eliminating the possibility of passing restrictions that have wide public support, such as parental notification, informed consent laws, and waiting periods. Governor Spitzer rose to power in New York State with tremendous support from NARAL and Planned Parenthood, mainly due to his adamant support of abortion and his unbridled hostility towards pregnancy care centers. Coincidentally the two leading Democratic nominees for President, Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barak Obama (R-Ill.) are cosponsors of a similar bill in the U.S. Senate introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calf.) that, if enacted, would effectively overturn most state laws on abortion. States, like Georgia, that are currently trying to reflect the pro-life majority among their population would be left with little choice but to subsidize abortions with taxpayer dollars if this legislation is passed and signed into national law.
All of this can easily be checked out, and as a matter of public record, confirmed......my question, or I guess more of an observation is.....if we are a follower of Christ, then we have accepted His Word as the authority by which we govern ourselves (Christ was indeed the Word made flesh), there fore what the Word says is as it stands the Law by which we exist......yes, we all fall short, but there are some areas that cannot be compromised......all attempts to make them conform to what we want to believe will not change the Truth as God has established it......and all attempts to justify our actions will not make them right in the sight of God.....if what we say and do does not match the Standard, then we are not reaching the mark, and no attempt to explain, or manipulate, or to compromise will make something what it is not........
whether Obama is a Christian or not is between him and the Lord, but just because he says he is does not make it so......I can say I am 35, slender and look like Cindy Crawford, but if you take a close look at me you will see it isn't so.....I am not judging, I am looking at the facts, I am asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to me things that I do not know, and this I have been shown, something is not right with this man......if he is elected to lead the free world, may God have mercy on us, if he isn't, may God have mercy on us, because, I believe he is not going to go away, and he will continue to mesmerize and persuade hoards of followers with his magical flute (message of hope and change from what to what?) right over the cliffs ofTruth......
