Here is the President’s confession:
“I’m a Christian, uh, by choice. Um, you know, my family didn’t – frankly, they weren’t, uh, folks who went to church every – every week. Um, my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn’t, uh, raise me in the church. Uh, so I came to, to, uh, my Christian faith later in life, uh, and it was because the, the, the, precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead – being my brother’s and sister’s keeper, treating others as they would treat me … also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we’re sinful, and we’re flawed, and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God.
“But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace. So that’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day. I think my public service is a part of that effort to express my Christian faith.”
Is this the confession of a man who truly understands that he was born a sinful man, and that Christ sufferd and died because he loved us, and not the other way around?
Does our President understand that our “good works” are a response to our Lord’s love, and not an attempt to garner his favor?
For that matter, do you believe that President Obama believed a word of what he said?

One response to “Obama confessed his faith, or did he?”

Vicar,
You have to remember that Obama may say he and his family are Christian in the open, but his writings clearly say something totally opposite.
Like this from “Audacity of Hope”, which is based off of a sermon given by Jeremiah Wright. Which we know that Obama spent over 20 years attending and is a church that overtly teaches liberation theology. Here’s what Obama said:
And there are at least five specific situations (all of them were graduation ceremonies he was asked to speak at)that I know of where Obama has also clearly stated that he only believes in community salvation over the precise teachings of the Bible where it patently states that it’s the individuals responsibility to seek out God’s salvation.
My take on this, just another case of a politician engaging in the only thing they know how to do….doublespeak.
