Interesting... I just read this interesting article by Cal Thomas, titled "Obama is no Joshua " http://www.calthomas.com/index.php?news=2288. He refers to Obama as a false prophet, but one of his readers more appropriately calls him a false teacher. Either way, Obama is misleading many people, including some Christians. Read Cal's article. He quotes some things that Obama has said regarding his so called "Christianity". None of it holds up in Bible Court. There are NOT many paths to salvation. There is only one, and it is laid out plain and simple in God's Holy Word. Matthew 7:13 says, 13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Believing Jesus is the Son of God does not a Christian make. Being a Christian is so much more than than just believing. Even Satan believes Jesus is the Son of God!
It is putting Christ first, above all else. It is seeking a deeper relationship with Him. It is a desire to truly know Him. It is obedience to His word, applying it to our everyday lives. It is true love. Jesus tells us in Matthew 22:37, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' In John 14:15 Jesus says, 'If you love me, you will obey what I command.'
Obama claims to be a Christian. What do you think? I haven't really seen or heard any evidence supporting that. At least nothing that remotely resembles Biblical truth.
The scriptures warn us about false prophets. Matthew 24:10-11 says, 'At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.' Wikipedia says, 'Traditionally, prophets are regarded as having a role in society that promotes change due to their messages and actions.'
I'm not suggesting that Obama is a prophet, by religious definition. I am suggesting, however, that he may be seen as somewhat of a prophet by many of his supporters. I also believe he is deceiving a lot of people. People are so hungry for something different. Hungry for "change". Obama is extremely charismatic, and people are drawn to him like a magnet. I may be way off, but I get a sense that he is leading the poor little lambs to slaughter.
Do religion and politics belong together. I believe, yes. God has placed leaders above us to guide us and direct us, but unfortunately, democracy has given way for fewer and fewer Godly men to be in leadership. We, as Christians have been a sleep, or maybe been too afraid to stand up for the things of God. We have been passive. I think Christians have confused meekness with passivity.
I can whole heartedly, and assuredly say that I AM A CHRISTIAN. I am not ashamed. What about you?
