Barack Obama Is Not a Christian - “I believe that there are many paths to the same place”
Here is what Obama said on April 5, 2004 - “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.
But here is what the Lord Jesus said: “I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME.” — Jesus Christ (John 14:6) - KJV - “AND NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME” - Jesus is the ONLY way to God.

Words to live by: “I have an ongoing conversation with God. . . . I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why I am doing it.”
“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.”
I guess Obama may likely be talking about Mohammed

So he found Christ, which one, from the Gospels or from the Qur’an? He has doubts. Exactly what is he doubtful of? Divinity? Crucifixion? Resurrection?
He recited the Adhan in Arabic. He was never a Muslim, so why did he memorize the Adhan? What is beautiful about it? Sounds to me like the groaning of a sick camel.
Is he Muslim or Christian? If he is not Muslim, why won’t he denounce the damnable doctrines of Islam which sanctify and mandate Jihad, genocide & terrorism? 8:12 sanctifies terrorism, commanding Muslims to mutilate corpses as part of casting terror. 9:29 commands Muslims to make war on Jews & Christians until they are subjugated and pay extortion.
8:67 commands Muslims to make a great slaughter as a prerequsite to holding prisoners of war for profit.
U.S. Constitution
Article VI
All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; BUT NO RELIGIOUS TEST SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED AS A QUALIFICATION TO ANY OFFICE OR PUBLIC TRUST UNDER THE UNITED STATES.

What you stated above is that the Constitution also sets out the secularistion of the USA (”no connection between Church and State”).
Although under the constitution, a religious qualification is not required of a person running for any public office, Obama has so many questionable assoociations including his religious belief that people are not comfortable with and they will judge him to see if he is suitable and ready to be a good president based on these criteria
Do you people honestly believe that God is going to torture people forever and ever? For the simple crime of being born in the wrong place at the wrong time to the wrong set of parents?
Including babies who died as infants?
I have close friends who are Christian, Jewish, Hindi, and Muslim. One of my uncles is Buddhist. I have attended churches, a mosque, and various temples. I can see the beauty in all faiths. I try to see the beauty in all people. I see the beauty in a God who loves His children. Believing in that God makes us stronger. It gives us the courage and the conviction to do what is right and grow as individuals and as a world. Believing in a God who would torture people for eternity because they didn’t embrace a certain strict paradigm can only drive us all further apart. God is Love. Obama understands that. I hope someday you will too. Yes We Can! Obama ‘08!
Whited Sephulcre,
the issue of God sending babies to hell is a distraction on the issues at hand. And no, God does not send babies to hell. How can He, if they don’t consciously know what sin is?
Secondly, Jesus said in John 3:16-18 that he who does not believe in Jesus Christ (accept as Saviour) that that person stands condemned by God for not doing so.
Based upon that, it would seem that all people will have an opportunity to do accept or reject Jesus as Saviour.
In the end, if Obama wants to be a Christian then he needs to follow the Bible - as it says in John 3:16-18 and in other places, like when Peter the Apostle - in the book of Acts - told the crowd listening to him that “there was no other name under heaven (besides Jesus) whereby we can be saved.”
Its that simple.
Yes Obama can…finally go by the Bible!!!
Many years ago, a pastor in my former church preached that
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Toaism, Hinduism were many of the ways leading to the same God as there were many roads leading to Rome [similar to Obama’s version of “I believe that there are many paths to the same place”]
Immediately after the service, a group of Bible believers in including myself confronted the pastor that he was preaching a false doctrine of the Christian faith, not based on John 14:6 but he refused to accept Jesus was the only way to God the Father. As a result, we left the church and joined another more Bible based church.
Obama simply has not the slightest idea about God’s plan of salvation for mankind. How can he claim that Jesus is not the only way under heaven whereby we can be saved? He said good works and good deeds and good moral character would get you to heaven just like his late mother who was not a Christian is now in heaven because she was a kind hearted person, lived a moral life and did a lot of good works and deeds.
Goodness me! He’s been sitting in the pew of that so called Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for the last 20 odd years, being fed by that crazy pastor, Jeremiah Wright’s hate-filled sermons such as “God damn America” and he also claimed that Muslims and Jews are equally saved without accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. How can America have a president like that?
In order to mark and avoid those professing Christian teachers and leaders who are promoting doctrinal heresy (thus causing divisions among Christian believers), it is obvious that we must exercise sound Biblical discernment and judgment. This judgment must be based on “the doctrine which ye have learned” from God’s word. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to His word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).
Here is a quote from AP - 3/27/2008 8:00:00 AM
“Obama contends belief in Jesus Christ not necessary for salvation In GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.
During a campaign stop in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he “can have everlasting life” because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much “children of God” as he is.
The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn’t share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he’s “sure she’s in heaven.”
