Obama's Most Important Faith Moments: What Do You Think?

Obama's Faith

After he went to Egypt and proclaimed the USA is not

a Christian country, I knew for sure he wasn't for God,

but trying to please Muslims. Why couldn't he have said,

we are a Christian country but accept other faiths or one

of no faith. His stance on partial birth abortion is about

as close to Satin as you can come. Then there is his good

buddy, Bill Ayers that fire bombed a Federal Judges house

with his family inside during the early 70's.

Trusting in the SOVEREIGNTY of the Heavenly Father

Does this article sicken me? Yes. Do I think that our current President is a Christian? No. I have been convicted to pray for him and his family. Someone can be a million steps away from God, but it is only one step back to Him. Obama will one day answer to his Creator for his actions and be judged accordingly. I believe he is very prideful and arrogant. Did anyone else notice that the "Top Ten" were all about Obama and what he has done? I believe that everything he does is out of political convenience, not based on a solid faith. Also, everything he does is out in public so it will be seen by the world. I have the utmost respect for George W. Bush because I believe he stood firm in his convictions and had a deep-rooted faith and reverence for God. He didn't need to "show the world". He understood it wasn't about him, it is all about God.

Having said all that, I am equally sickened by most of the other comments posted on here. If someone claims to be a Christian and says things like, "God has a special place in hell for him" and far worse comments, they should SERIOUSLY reevaluate their own personal walk with the Lord. If you are a parent, would you say things like that if your child goes the wrong way or is extremely difficult? I hope not. The Lord doesn't have an iron fist waiting for us to screw up so He can condemn us. He is our FATHER, He is equal parts love and discipline. Check your view of God if you feel He would approve of some of the things being said.

Is it getting harder and harder to be a Christian in today's society? Yes, but we were never promised an easy life. So many things are happening around the world right now and I truly believe we are in the end-times. Personally, that excites me because I know how the Book ends...I've read the last chapter! But in the same breathe it ignites a sense of urgency for those who do not know the Lord (which includes Obama) AND luke-warm Christians who have become complacent and have no real relationship with our Heavenly Father. Also, the churches that are just "tickling the ears" of the congregation and not preaching ALL of God's Word...that is the most dangerous of all.

Remember, it is not our place to judge. Sin is sin in the eyes of God. We need to have a FIRM foundation in our faith in Jesus Christ because it will be tested harder and harder in the days to come.

I will continue to pray for this country and our leaders that their hearts will be softened and they will come to know the Lord. All the power they have has been given to them by God. I will also place my trust in the sovereignty of our Creator! May God bless everyone who reads this!

Obama's Faith and practice

Every appearance that our president projects is of a man who uses "faith" or "religion"

to advance his career and agenda. It is very significant that he would have nothing to do with observing the Christian National Day of Prayer. In the past, our presidents have held a Prayer Breakfast, but not Obama. However, he was right there to celebrate Ramadan with the nation;s Muslims. It is increasingly difficult to see this man as a Christian, which he claims to be.

Obama's Faith

The only time he uses the Christian faith is when it helps his agenda. They only religion I have seen him have any respect for is Islam. I believe at heart he is closer to an atheist like his mother.

Dave of Tex says US is a capitalist nation--too true

Dave must be a millionaire who doesn't mind having his utility bills go up every year, like the price of gasoline. When the US began, the government owned all the natural resources. But the Robber Baron era began. To its pals, Congress sold ore fields, oil deposits, forests, RR rights of way with free land to RR's on both sides. It sold water rights. It sold everything that was bought and processed and became daily necessities. Congress could pay off the investors who own public utilities, and run them with government employees and take the profit out of it. It would be like a big raise for all of us. But that will not happen as long as users are afraid of public ownership.

Obama's Faith

If he has any faith it would be Muslim. I don't think he worships our God in the US and that is proof since the family had not yet chosen a church in eight months. If he had a good faith in our God he would not have the agenda for the American people that he has. He hides behind his so called faith.

The Ten Commandments

Howard E. Becker of IL wrote-

"the ten commandments should be put back into all the places in our government that they were taken out of. federal as well as our schools. the lord is watching us."

Make sure they get the 4th commandment right if they do this. The Bible says "Remember the SABBATH DAY, and keep it holy."

It has nothing to do with Sunday.

Prayers for our President

I do not understand Christians wanting to hate our President and his family. I am thankful that he sets an example of relying on God for strength and wisdom. My prayers are with the President and his family to keep them safe.

grace to our president

mister president, it appears as though at the judgement seat jesus christ will give you his grace to be saved, through faith that christ died on the cross for our sins.
