This one got me hot so be patient.
The ad from Obama and the Dems (link below) say we need a “better Christian witness in politics”. Are you kidding me? The ad says we are supposed to listen to what a man says because “out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks”. This is supposed to be a quote from Luke 6:45.
However if you take the entire verse in context it says:
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”
I would hate to say it but I think the things coming out of Sen. Obama’s heart are the evil things the Bible speaks of above. So I would agree we need to listen to what comes out of his mouth concerning ALL the topics he talks about and judge those things by their fruit as we are instructed to do.
The next verse after this really says it all in regards to Obama. It says:
“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
From a purely Biblical stand point if you put the platforms of both parties in a side by side comparisons the Republicans will come out on the side more in line with Biblical truth then the Dems every single time. There is no argument to that.
Obama often quotes and misquotes scripture (as done in the radio ad below) and it drives me crazy because he makes half truths out of what he is trying to say and never keeps the scripture in its full context. I mean from a man who says the sermon on the mount says being gay is ok? WHAT! So he is saying Jesus said to the masses that being gay is fine? Has he never read the Bible? He says he doesn’t know what will happen to him when he dies but yet calls himself a Christian? Seriously? Like the article says, “we will know them by their fruits”.
Point blank I don’t see how Christians can vote for this guy. Now I don’t really know how we can vote for the other guy either but there really is no comparison. If Christians should judge all things by the word then I just don’t get it. There is no argument as to why you should vote for him. The only thing I hear him say as to why Christians want to vote for him is because he wants to help the poor. That is great, lots of Republicans want to help the poor also. Do you then sacrifice all the rest that the Bible instructs us to do in the name of “helping the poor”? Is that the Great Commission? To “help the poor”? No, its not.
Now we all know you don’t have to be a Christian to be President but if you are going to push yourself as one and campaign on that fact then you need to stop lying about it. This false feel good “christianity” that pastors and politicians are pushing is downright evil and we need to be very skeptical about it. Don’t get me started on Rick Warren and his upcoming “debate” he is having for the candidates at his church.
End of sermon…let me have it.
