I am a Christian, but lately those that profess to be are acting anything but. We are to be discerning and judge others and have boundaries, but it seems that everyone in the media and everyone, period are judging this president as to devour him like lions at the first false move. If anyone had actually listened to his debates (answers can't be planned to unknown questions) or listened to any of his speeches, they would surely be humbled by his intelligence, his energy, his language, etc. He's on trial I guess, but I think he should not only presumed innocent, he should be prayed for, encouraged and loved. All authority on earth is given by God, and he he has been voted to his position in a free country that is supposed to be "under God". We all need to back up all of our leaders and most especially, our President.

A wolf in Sheeps Clothing... comes to mind. Too much evidence of showing his non-christian and un-america ways.
Here is just one of many: His address to in Turkey- were he says We Are Not A Christian Nation. As shown on CNN

I call him our "slight of hand resident, not president' For one he refushes to prove that fact that he is US born citizen and has a firm of high priced powerful lawyers blocking every possibility of him having to prove this..so what is wrong with Americans that don't understand how wrong and against our constition this is.
I am not right-winged, left-winged or broken-winged, I am a proud, Christian American who believe in our fore-fathers plight, in our consitition which was developed under Christian principle.
If this does not get posted I will know it isn't because I or people (most people) who believe as I do in One Nation Under GOD, that you and others like you in the media are part of the one world order therefore part of the problem a demise of the American People.

OK, alltimechristianofNC, you asked to be held accountable.
It is time to inspect your fruit. I find it is unloving, uncharitable, false, triumphalistic, and arrogant.
Isaiah spoke of the fatherhood of God a long time before there were any Christians. He was a Jew and he was talking to and about Jews. So, according to my Bible, Jews are children of God. Does your Bible have a prophetic book of Isaiah in it? Didn't he speak of God as his Father, and as the Father of his people? Matthew reflects such a view as well.
My Bible tells me that a lot of early followers of Jesus believed that to really be a follower of The Way they had to be a devout Jew--including dietary laws, circumcision, the whole works--plus accept Jesus as their Messiah. That view was later replaced with a different view of what was essential to be a true follower of The Way--that accepted "gentiles" who did not become Jews. Another view I find in my Bible is that being responsive to the Spirit of God is what is crucial to being a child of God. I do not find anywhere in my Bible that one must be a fundamentalist Christian in order to be a child of God.
My Bible tells me that Jesus was interested in building the Kingdom of God "on earth as it is in heaven." He even told his disciples that it was already present, for them to participate in it, and take the message of that Kingdom of God to others. Neither Jesus, nor his disciples, were selling fire-insurance and/or an entry ticket on a railway to heaven.
So, let's lay aside the falsehoods, the hatred of political enemies, the exclusionary security-blanket religion, and get on with loving God and loving all of our neighbors.

(During a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he "can have everlasting life" because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much "children of God" as he is.)

Apparently we are different type of Christians because my bible clearly tells me that there is only one way to heaven and that is through salvation through Jesus Christ. If Pres. Obama is so full of faith then why did he make the statement above saying the Jews and Muslims are much as children as he is, when in all honesty its a lie.
My answer is he wants to please everyone. Christians give the truth no matter how hard it is to accept it and we stand by it. We dont suger code it to keep us in a good light. Jesus the Nazarene died on the cross because he wouldnt sugar code it and we should all be glad to take up that "cross."
And if your rebutal is I shouldnt judge then read the rest of the verse. I am willing and ready to be judged by these same methods. Also that verse is intended for Christians to not judge un-believers.
Ephesians 4:25
"Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth, each one of you, with his neighbor, for we are members of one another."
So we should hold other Christians accountable.

True Christians should "judge not lest he be judged." "Let him without sin be the first to throw the firs stone." "So as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Those who are posting all these mean and negative comments about President Obama should first examine their own live completely before deciding whether he is a Christian, or a faithful person. Abortion is NOT the only criteria for judging a person's faith. However, Hate, bigotry, and lying are covered in the Ten Commandments, but a person's opinion on abortion is not.
So, let's stop all the negative foolishness.

In actuality Barry Sotero is a closet homosexual or bisexual as he is married and has 2 children. The other; his faith is Islam. This he let slip while being interviewed by George Stephenapolous sp. while stumping for president. He has more members of CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) in his cabinet than you can shake a stick at. The country is cruising to a heap of flames and ashes as we continue to drink our ObamaKoolaide and trust the MSM lies/propaganda. We are Econmic Babylon and we will burn in WW3 if not sooner. Really it is time to repent and turn away from our sin and trust the living God The Lord Jesus Christ...and please church don't depend on the rapture to save you. So be good and live Godly.

The evidence of Barack's faith is in what Barack supports. Education for opportunity. Energy that does not raise the sea levels and drown the cities of millions of people.
More peace, less war. Health care driven by a determination for us to care for each other AS WELL AS merely make a profit selling services.
Those who oppose these things are the ones lacking faith.
