\nStudy-Grow-Know: Christianity in the End Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, President Obama made statements about his religious beliefs.\u00a0 Since he made them public, it is certainly permissible to comment on them.\u00a0 On the heels of stating that \u201cIslam is not the problem, Al Queda is the problem,\u201d Obama defines for us, his own particular viewpoint of Christianity.\u00a0 How does it stand up to the Christianity of the Bible?\u00a0 Let\u2019s see\u2026<\/p>\n

We know that President Obama spent 20 or so years in a church that is based largely on Black Liberation Theology (Trinity United Church of Christ, with Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.).\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to take the time to explain that, but feel free to look that up as there are plenty of places on the \u2018Net.\u00a0 Suffice it to say that to the Black Liberationist, Christianity is a means by which the Black person frees themselves from the rule of others, mainly whites.\u00a0 We also know that President Obama stated that converting to Christianity was hischoice<\/em>.\u00a0 We must remember that the Christianity he converted to was the one taught by Reverend Wright.\u00a0 Wright is also known for his anti-American statements based on race.\u00a0 Things that have come out of Rev. Wright\u2019s mouth have been by some accounts, vicious.\u00a0 Beyond this, his church apparently gave their top award to\u00a0an avowed anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan, from the Nation of Islam.<\/p>\n

All of this plays into President Obama\u2019s version of Christianity, and it is from this perspective that we begin to understand what he means when he says that he is a Christian.\u00a0 President Obama points to Christ\u2019s death as the epitome of humility.\u00a0 He stated, \u201cunderstanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we\u2019re sinful, and we\u2019re flawed, and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 This is certainly all well and good, but it does not say enough.\u00a0 President Obama is anything but stupid.\u00a0 He tends too often to speak like a lawyer because of his training.\u00a0 Combine that with the fact that he is a politician, and you have him saying things that can be interpreted any number of ways, just like he did when he ran for office.
