President Obama: Is He in the Way?

A Biblical Perspecive of Obama’s Faith

My last article, Is President Obama Muslim or Christian, posed 23 questions to the President, the last of which was asked: If you were tried in a court of law for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? At the time I was not aware of the following interview with Barak Obama on April 5, 2004, wherein Cathleen Falsani, Sun Times reporter asked him about his faith. The following excerpts are taken from his response:

I am a Christian…. I have a deep faith…. I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people…. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived…. So…. It’s perhaps an unlikely theological position for someone who places his faith squarely at the feet of Jesus to take, saying essentially that all people of faith—Christians, Jews, Muslims, animists, everyone—know the same God…. That depends… on how a particular verse from the Gospel of John, where Jesus says, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me,’ is heard.

The following analysis of his own testimony will prove that there would not be enough evidence to convict him for being a Christian, and it will remove all doubt whether he is in the Way or not.

Firstly, he states that he is a Christian. Well…OK…that looks good as a starter on the surface. At the outset, he appears to be that which he professes to be, a Christian. However, I am not willing to go so far as did Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), “We must take his word for it.â€

Great explanation of why Obama can't possibly be a true Christian!

This just puts into words what I have know for a long time. Thanks for posting!
