Sudden Surge: Obama Starts Mentioning Christian Faith Way More Often

While vacationing in Hawaii over the weekend, President Barack Obama and his family attended a church service Sunday, capping off a “steady rebirth” of his faith in recent months, marked by frequent public expressions of his Christianity. According to Politico, President Obama has publicly mentioned his “Christian faith” more times over the past three months than he has over the past year.
Though some people have always harbored questions about the president’s personal beliefs, Obama’s Christian faith became a hot-button issue in recent months after the commander-in-chief repeatedly failed to mention “our Creator” in recitations of the Declaration of Independence and mistakenly identified “E pluribus unum” as America’s national motto instead of “In God We Trust” during a trip overseas.
In addition, the change in messaging comes weeks after an August Pew Research poll showed that one in five Americans believe the president is actually a Muslim, not a Christian — a rumor his campaign vehemently denied during his campaign for president in 2008. But in just two years, the president has not attended church as regularly as he did as a presidential candidate and has openly emphasized his own family’s Muslim roots more since taking office in 2009.
Politico noticed the recent change:
[Obama] has more frequently cited passages of the Bible, including repeated references to the spirit of Genesis 4:9 — “I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper” — which was a mainstay of Obama’s 2010 campaign stump speech. And he’s taken his family to church twice, a shift for a president who has preferred to worship privately since the end of the 2008 campaign.
“He presents his Christianity as an important aspect of his identity but one he doesn’t want to foist upon anyone else, and he would rather risk downplaying it than offending somebody,” said Jeffrey Siker, a theology professor at Loyola Marymount University, who has studied Obama’s use of the Bible in his speeches.
“One recurring phrase — and I’ve noticed this frequently of late — this notion that we are our brothers’ keepers, which is kind of a mantra for him,” Siker added, noting that Obama “would see the notion of being our brother’s keeper as something that crosses all religious lines.”
Obama has used the reference, which was a regular feature of his on the 2008 campaign trail, in two dozen speeches since September. Before then, he’d used it just four times as president. References to his “Christian faith” also have appeared more times in Obama’s speeches since September than they did before.
But despite the noticeable change, the White House insists nothing has changed in the president’s public remarks. Obama “has consistently talked about his Christian faith, and the role of faith in America, over the course of his public life,” deputy press secretary Bill Burton says.
Instead of being a part of his person, Obama seems to have incorporated his faith into his politics. In explaining his stance for government programs such as Democrats’ landmark health care overhaul legislation passed earlier this year, the president frequently used religious phrases in pushing his political agenda, including being his “brother’s keeper” — a Biblical lesson from the story of Cain and Abel.
“We believe in a country that rewards hard work and responsibility, a country where we look after one another, a country where we say, ‘I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper, I’m not just thinking about myself,’” Obama said during his election campaign. “That’s the choice in this election. That‘s what we’re about. That‘s why we’re Democrats.”
The president again cited his “core ethical and moral obligation” to be his “brother’s keeper” and help his fellow man during the debate over health care and called on a group of Jewish rabbis to help him push his agenda in 2009, calling them “God’s partners in matters of life and death.” Opponents to his health plan, however, were accused of spreading “misinformation” and “bearing false witness,” a direct accusation of violating God’s laws — the Ten Commandments.
In August, Obama’s aides downplayed the Pew poll. “The president is, obviously, Christian. He prays every day,” Burton said. “His faith is very important to him, but it‘s not something that’s a topic of conversation every single day.” But just days after the poll’s release, the president was attending church services with his family and publicly quoting from the book of Job.
“There is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again and that its tender branch will not cease,” Obama said in prepared marks on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. “The work ahead will not be easy, and there will be setbacks. There will be challenges along the way. But thanks to you, thanks to the great people of this great city, New Orleans is blossoming again.”
As the president’s poll numbers continue to slip and his beliefs are called into question, expect his faith to become more of a “topic of conversation” and make a significant comeback in time for a 2012 re-election campaign.

Posted on December 29, 2010 at 6:41pmIt is a pointless argument. A born again Christian understands that it takes more than just calling yourself by Christ’s name to be a Christian, but non-believers just do not get this. They think they can just invoke the name “Christian” upon themselves and they are just magically part of the club.
In the end, it is not for me to judge anyone’s state of salvation…But…I can certainly judge the fruit they bear and that is how I know what they stand for. Obama barely talks the talk but he has no clue on the walk…

With all due respect, go back and read my post a little more carefully. I clearly stated that it is not my place to judge anyone’s salvation. But the Bible clearly tells us to have discernment for other Christians! We are the body and we can recognize other members. Could Obama be saved and merely be backslidden and producing bad fruit? Certainly! It happens. But to continually choose to go against the Word of God time after time is a good indication that something is not right.

during that time Aleister Crowley wrote in one of his diaries that he was practicing one of his latest sexual deviancies (I won’t go into details here). The only people staying at the house were Pauline Pierce, her friend Nellie O’Hara, Nellie’s common law husband and friend of Aleister Crowley, Frank Harris and Aleister.

Report Post »One current refined and subtle manifestation of Baal-worship, is the cult of self-love. Through a clever manipulation of Scripture, the love of self has been transformed into a virtue. In recent years it has been strenuously taught as a supposed Christian duty. The divine command to love our neighbor as we love ourselves is twisted into a command to love self, when in fact the Lord taught that our natural-born sinful love of self is redirected through genuine faith to a Christlike love of our neighbor.

Posted on December 29, 2010 at 5:58pmWhen doing research into the new world order, you will repeatedly come across information that the ‘Brotherhood’ pulling the strings has a serious loyalty to all that is evil (by definition). This is symbolised again and again by the Illuminati and in this section you will see just one small part of this.
One of the ancient and now well researched Canaanite deities that was and still is worshipped by the ‘Brotherhood’ is often symbolised as an owl and is referred to as Molech (sometimes Moloch).
A great video was released a few years ago, by researcher Alex Jones over in America called ‘Dark Secrets – Inside Bohemian Grove’. Basically every summer, the ‘fatcats’ of the world gather together for a social outing into a redwood forest in southern California, sealed off to the general public for a summer camp once dubbed as ‘the greatest men’s party on Earth’. (That’s right, no women allowed beyond the carpark!).
In July 2000 Alex Jones and his team managed to successfully organise a break-in into the festival and capture some disturbing hidden camera footage of one of the ceremonies.
The ceremony that was recorded was entitled ‘The Cremation of Care’ in which a mock human sacrifice is performed in front of a forty-foot stone owl, for the entertainment of the cheering crowd of elitists. These include media company owners, politicians, Hollywood personalities, world leaders, oil company owners, and so on.

Report Post »I could not care less about what faith obama follows, nor whether he goes to church and worship. I do have serious issues with the fact that he lies about his beliefs “yeah, I attended Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years but I never really paid attention. In fact, I never heard him say the words ‘not God bless America, but God DAMN America’ in my life! You must be foolin’…” He is a liar and a deceiver. The President of the United States must be held to the HIGHEST standard of integrity, and in fact must feel this highest standard in his soul. Obama claims to be a follower of Christ, but can’t even be teleprompted to quote the Declaration when saying “endowed by our Creator”. Not only is this hypercritical, is shows a willingness to lie about his true faith. If he were truely Christian, he would have said those words loudly and strongly for all to hear. But instead, he angrily ignores them.

You have no idea what faith he has in his heart and soul as I have no idea of yours. Just because you don’t believe someone, doesn’t make them a liar. A lie is in contrast to the facts, of which you’ve shown none. By your logic, a true Christian would not threaten the life of a man that simply disagrees with your posts.

If he noticed something the other side was doing and it was getting the other side better attention, he will be for the same thing. If he’s called on a flip flop, he’ll swear that he has always said it, or felt that way and has been talking about in his campaign. If you look you’ll notice that he adds a little bit of each person he campaign against into his own campaign. He’s a Master of Illusion. He knows exactly what to say and how to say it.

At heart he’s a Muslim and has publically shown his admiration for Islam while giving little or no support for his Christianity. In reality, he’s not a Christian, since he believes in a universal salvation by works and not Biblical salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I believe his past record plainly documents his attempts at discrediting the Christian principles this nation was founded upon.
