Obama Says Questions About His Religion Actually Strengthen His Faith

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he prays regularly and that he and his wife, Michelle, aren’t bothered when they “hear our faith questioned from time to time.”
Addressing the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, Obama said that “Christian tradition teaches that the world one day will be turned right side up.” But he said that until that happens, the poor and the struggling remain in his prayers.
He said he had prayed for God’s intervention on any number or occasions, not always on the weightiest issues of the day.
At one point, the president said he has prayed, “Lord, give me patience as I watch Malia go to her first dance, where there will be boys. Lord, let her skirt get longer as she travels to that place.” Twelve-year-old Malia is the older of his two daughters. Sasha is 9.

Posted on February 3, 2011 at 12:45pmObama is not befitting of being a President when he issues instructions on global warming issues, but exempts GE because he favors CEO Jeffrey Immelt and therefore obtains GE’s MSNBC as a free network, to espouse his Obama’s political propaganda. That’s the ruling pattern of a dictator not a democratic President. In fact Obama has no respect for the Office of the President for which he was elected. Obama is a low level street thief of all things that are democratic and he must go in 2012 or be impeached in 2011. The question is will America allow Obama to spend another $2.5 to $5 Trillion on nothing worthwhile before 2012 or will Americans tell him to spend even more?

Posted on February 3, 2011 at 12:34pmMost likely, then again figuring the distorted concepts of ‘collective salvation’ and other such non bible based foulacies he is spreading about, then to him the traditional values (bible based) of Christianity are indeed MYTHOLOGY, to be replaced with the evils he declares to be the truth.
Report Post »heferwiz57
Posted on February 3, 2011 at 1:58pmChristian Mythology? Somewhat accurate. Modern christianity is based on the mythologies of the mystery religions of the OT period and on greek and roman mythology; all brought into the christian era through catholicism. This is stated in the church’s own writings and all encyclopedias, bible colleges, seminaries, etc know this to be true. It is nothing new.
But this is the way God intented it to be. Through time there have always been those who have honored Gods Word as if it is Him speaking. And then there are those, always the majority, who would rather not have God’s expectations infringe upon their daily lives. Ironic though that they will follow the traditions and mythologies of the denominational churches.
A separation is happening between those who call the God of the Bible their God and those who dont. Their is also a separation between occuring, right now, between those who call God their God. The dividing line is His Word. Isaiah 66 1-5…
When the non believing man looks at the church he sees mythology, the cause of bloody wars, and a God who is unapproachable. What you are looking at is the history of the catholic church and all the daughter churches that have come out of her since the 1500′s. This is history and you cant get around it.
God is calling His people, and all people, to a final, total, and complete surrender to Him through Jesus Christ and he is allowing the world to set itself on fire to bring about that end. This is going to be done His way and man can do nothing to stop it.

His own words leave us with many more questions than answers and his actions speak so loud that what he does say cause even more confusion. For what few instances he has mentioned Christianity in a positive light he has praised Islam at least 10 times as often. I have no idea what he believes I am beginning to think he is as confused as we are about what he believes, or is it all an intentional deception? I have no idea and every time he opens his mouth on the subject, or makes a Freudian slip, or quotes The Bill of Rights without mentioning Our Creator it leaves me really wondering just who we have in The White House.
