A Vote For Obama Is a Vote Against God Almighty

I wrote the following letter to my pastor.  I hope you will find it useful:

Biblical Guideline for Selecting a Leader:

• Exodus 18:21 “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: “

Here, Jethro instructed Moses, who was the Sovereign ruler of Israel, to select God-fearing leaders over the tens, hundreds, and thousands.

Uniquely among the nations, God has made us (We the People) “Sovereign Citizens” of the United States.

We have a sacred duty to select God-honoring local, state, and federal leaders.

Being God-fearing suggests that a leader honors God and the Ten Commandments, is moral and just, and that the leader knows that one day he or she will give account to God.

John 14:21

• He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Just because a candidate says or believes he is a Christian, that does not mean he is a Christian. A true Christian actually believes in Christ and what He has taught

First, I would just like to go over an interview conducted in 2004 with one of the candidates that PROVES he is NOT a Christian.

For the sake of brevity, I have selected key points in the interview. The transcript of the entire interview is available here:

(Note: This just happens to be one of the sources for this interview. There are numerous copies of it available on the Internet, and it is also in Cathleen Falsani’s book, The God Factor.)

Chicago-Sun Time – Cathleen Falsani

GG: What do you believe?

OBAMA: I am a Christian.

So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.

On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.

I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.

My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.

And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.

(A patron stops and says, “Congratulations,” shakes his hand. “Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Thank you.”)

So, 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.

Alright, that was the opening remarks in the interview. Your “red flag meter” should already be twitching because Obama has just admitted that he is a polytheist. By drawing on “any other faith,” he is admitting that he doesn’t believe Christianity is good enough and so he is drawing from Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., in an effort to create a religious belief that conforms to his own values and beliefs – not God’s! By the way; all of those “faiths” worship false gods.

Now, let us look at his statement wherein he said, “I believe that there are many paths to the same place and that is a belief that there is a higher power…”

This is SO unbiblical that I don’t even know where to start.

Perhaps it might be of interest to note that this is almost word for word paraphrasing the false doctrine of “New Age” cultists:

From “http://www.answers.com/new age”:

Much of New Age thought is syncretic in nature and has roots as a counter-cultural phenomenon. Thus New Age adherents tend to emphasize a relativist approach to truth, often referring to the Vedic [Brahmanism] statement of “one truth, but many paths,” the mainstay of Hinduism, which idea is also found in the later Zen Buddhist spiritual dictum of “many paths, one mountain“. This belief is not only an assertion of personal choice in spiritual matters, but also an assertion that truth itself is defined by the individual and his or her experience of it.

Note: Keep that last sentence that I have underlined in your mind, as I will be referring to it later on.

By the way, Self-spirituality, New spirituality, and Mind-body-spirit are other names oftentimes used by the adherents of the New Age cult.

This contradicts Jesus’ own words:

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Now, just to make sure that we are not misunderstanding Obama, let us further explore his comments later on in the interview for some clarification:

OBAMA:[...]There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell.

GG:You don’t believe that?

OBAMA:I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.

I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity.

That’s just not part of my religious makeup.

Again, Obama’s belief directly conflicts with Jesus’ own statements:

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Why does Obama continually contradict what Jesus says? Perhaps the following will help shed some light on this:

GG:Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA:Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

In Obama’s mind, Jesus is just an historical figure; just a flesh and blood teacher, as it where. Just another bridge between God and man like all the other prophets before and after him. Even the demonstrably false profligate “prophet” Muhammad is considered “a bridge” between God and man by Muslims.

Noticeably absent in Obama’s definition of who Jesus is to him is ANY reference to Jesus’ Divinity!

When asked the same question, I have yet to meet another real Christian who has failed to mention that Jesus is the Son of God, Lord and Savior, or any number of other statements that affirm Jesus’ Divine nature.

So, with a diminished view of exactly who Jesus Christ is, is it any wonder why Obama doesn’t believe Christ’s own words?

Let me remind you of what Jesus Christ told us:

John 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

By Obama’s refusal to believe in and abide by Christ’s words and commandments, he is demonstrating his disdain for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

At this point, I would like you to remind you of the earlier sentence I asked you to keep in mind:

…an assertion that truth itself is defined by the individual and his or her experience of it.

Remember, this is from the cultish New Age doctrine. Here is what Barack Obama believes sin to be:

GG: Do you believe in sin?

OBAMA: Yes.

GG: What is sin?

OBAMA: Being out of alignment with my values.

Did you catch that? Obama is defining sin as being out of alignment with his own individual values.

That, of course, is NOT what sin is. Biblically, sin is being out of alignment with God’s values and Commandments.

From his statement, it is pretty obvious that Obama believes that truth itself is defined by the individual and his or her experience of it; and not by God. Again, this is a New Age belief, and is not Biblical at all.

What all of this really means is that Obama believes the individual self is God! For he, himself is the deciding factor in determining what is and is not a sin.

It might be worth mentioning here that Oprah Winfrey subscribes to the same cultish beliefs. She demonstrates this time and time again by having numerous New Age psychics (Sylvia Browne comes immediately to mind) and authors (Eckhart Tolle, for example) on her television show. Just like Obama, she believes that there are many paths to heaven. She has even implied that she cannot believe that her God would condemn someone in a remote part of the world to Hell if they weren’t Christian. You can view a video of her attempting to defend her beliefs when a true Christian rightly points out to her that, “no man cometh unto the Father but by me [Jesus],” at YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aT6eyKn2rs

I find it quite interesting that they BOTH attended Rev. Wright’s Church.

Even more interesting is the response Obama gave during his interview when asked:

GG:… [Is there someone you would look to as] an example of a role model, who combined everything you said you want to do in your life, and your faith?

OBAMA:I think Gandhi is a great example of a profoundly spiritual man who acted and risked everything on behalf of those values but never slipped into intolerance or dogma. He seemed to always maintain an air of doubt about him.

I think Dr. King, and Lincoln. Those three are good examples for me of people who applied their faith to a larger canvas without allowing that faith to metastasize into something that is hurtful.

His first choice was Gandhi? The guy who wrote “love letters” to Hitler? The guy who thought the Jewish cry for a national home afforded a justification for the Germans to round them up and get rid of them?

From Front Page Magazine:

Mahatma Gandhi, wrote letters to Adolph Hitler that were deferential in their tone and abhorrent in their implications. A 1939 letter was apologetically described by Gandhi as a “mere impertinence” and included the following signoff: “I anticipate your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you. I remain, Your sincere friend, Sd. M. MK Gandhi.”

In a letter dated December 24, 1940, Gandhi assured Hitler that he had no doubt of “your bravery or devotion to your fatherland.” Zionist appeals for Gandhi to support a national home for the Jewish people, meanwhile, fell on deaf ears, as he insisted that “Palestine belongs to the Arabs.” Not only did Gandhi reject the cause of a Jewish state but he effectively echoed Nazi propaganda, as with his warning that “this cry for the national home affords a colorable justification for the German expulsion of the Jews.”

Okay, I’ll admit his second and third choices are good ones. After all, they are both Republicans…

But, the way the question was phrased – a role model who combined everything Obama said he wanted to do with his life and his faith – leaves only one answer for a Christian: Jesus Christ.

You would have thought that Jesus would have been mentioned somewhere in his answer, but He wasn’t. Nope. Nary a whisper of His name.

GG:Jack Ryan [Obama's Republican opponent in the U.S. Senate race at the time] said talking about your faith is fraught with peril for a public figure.

OBAMA:Which is why you generally will not see me spending a lot of time talking about it on the stump.

Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of our civic religion. I am a big believer in the separation of church and state. I am a big believer in our constitutional structure. I mean, I’m a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law. I am a great admirer of our founding charter, and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming, and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country.

As I said before, in my own public policy, I’m very suspicious of religious certainty expressing itself in politics.

I’m sure that if Barack Obama really understood the Constitution, he would realize that you can’t separate God from the Constitution.

Here’s what a couple of our forefathers had to say about religion as a guideline for governance:

Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.

~ John Adams, 1776

Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

~ George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

Okay, let me just highlight one more item from Obama’s interview:

Obama: Part of the reason I think it’s always difficult for public figures to talk about this is that the nature of politics is that you want to have everybody like you and project the best possible traits onto you. Oftentimes that’s by being as vague as possible, or appealing to the lowest common denominators. The more specific and detailed you are on issues as personal and fundamental as your faith, the more potentially dangerous it is.

In other words, he’s a typical politician… He will say anything to appeal to the “lowest common denominators.” That includes claiming to be a Christian in an effort to garner the Evangelical vote that was so important during the 2004 Presidential election.

However, I think I have abundantly demonstrated that Barack Obama is no Christian, as he does not really believe in Christ.

Let’s go on to his friends:

Proverbs 13:20

• He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)

• Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

And, of course, that old saying: “A man is known by the company he keeps.”

It is VERY important to know who a politician chooses as his companions.

Obama has chosen to align himself with the likes of:

Frank Marshall Davis – A known Communist/Marxist and sexual predator. In Obama’s book, Dreams of My Father, Obama calls him a close friend and tried to hide his identity by just calling him “Frank,” because Mr. Davis was a VERY well known Communist.

Saul Alinsky – A known Communist/Marxist and radical. One of his books on radicalism was dedicated to Satan. Obama was schooled in the Alinsky method of “organizing” which is a euphemism for “revolution” and Obama even went on to teach the Alinsky method of radicalism in workshops for several years..

Tony Rezko – A shady real estate agent who is now in jail.

Ali Abunimah – A Palestinian American and anti-Semite with ties to Islamic terrorists.

Greg Craig – Nicknamed “The lawyer of the Left” because he has a history of defending corrupt foreign leaders and murderers.

Bill Ayers – Unrepentant Weatherman Underground terrorist and Communist/Marxist.

Bernardine Dohrn – Wife of Bill Ayers. She was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. In reference to Charles Manson killing LaBianca, she came up with a three-finger fork salute, saying, “Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim’s stomach! Wild!”

Louis Farrakhan – Anti-white, anti-semitic leader of the Nation of Islam. Calls Obama, “The Messiah.”

Rev. Jeremiah Wright – “G-d Damn America!” Need I say more?

Cornel West – Communist/Marxist. Obama has placed him on his Presidential Campaign’s Black Advisory Council.

Rashid Khalidi – PLO terrorist supporter.

George Soros – Promotes view that America is institutionally an oppressive nation. Promoting the election of leftist political candidates throughout the U.S.

Jim Wallis – Long time champion of Communism.

Joyce and Tim Wheeler – Both Communist Party Activists. They are currently part of Obama’s campaign staff.

Democratic Socialists of America – Obama was a DSA member in the 1990′s. They groomed and backed his political career.

New Party – Was a Marxist political coalition. Obama sought their endorsement in 1996 and used many of the New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

ACORN – Masters of voter fraud under the guise of helping the poor, disenfranchised voters… Obama just recently gave them $800,000…

Anyway, the list goes on and on. Is there any doubt that Obama is actually a Communist hiding as a Democrat?

You might recall that Obama has just recently told “Joe the Plumber” that he wants to “redistribute the wealth.” That’s Communism/Marxism…

Let’s move on and consider the VERY FIRST thing Obama will do as President:

“The first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing that I’d do.” — Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007 – (http://www.nrlc.org/foca/index.htm)

And, here Americans were deceived into believe that the first thing he will do is to pull our troops out of Iraq. Yeah, right…

The Freedom of Choice Act is a pro-abortion bill that would remove state control over abortions and place it under federal control. Basically this will overturn EVERY single local, state or city law that interferes with abortion no matter how modest or reasonable. It will force taxpayers that do not believe in abortions to fund them through our federal tax dollars and remove protections for doctors and nurses who refuse to do abortions because they object on a moral basis.

Little wonder that he would do this, as he once famously quipped at a campaign rally, “…look, I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Interesting. Here’s what the Bible has to say about that:

Psalm 127:3

Children are a blessing and a gift from the LORD. (CEV)

So, while the Bible calls them a blessing and a gift, Obama thinks they are a punishment…

No wonder he took such a disturbingly cold-hearted position concerning an issue that passed both houses of Congress unanimously in 2002.

That bill was the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. During the partial-birth abortion debate, Congress heard testimony about babies that had survived attempted late-term abortions. Nurses testified that these preterm living, breathing babies were being thrown into medical waste bins to die or being “terminated” outside the womb. With the baby now completely separated from the mother, it was impossible to argue that the health or life of the mother was in jeopardy by giving her baby appropriate medical treatment.

The Born Alive Infants Protection Act simply prohibited the killing of a baby born alive. To address the concerns of pro-choice lawmakers, the bill included language that said nothing “shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand or contract any legal status or legal right” of the baby. In other words, the bill wasn’t intruding on Roe v. Wade.

Who would oppose a bill that said you couldn’t kill a baby who was born? Not Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer or Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not even the hard-core National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL).

Obama, however, is another story. The year after the Born Alive Infants Protection Act became federal law in 2002, identical language was considered in a committee of the Illinois Senate. It was defeated with the committee’s chairman, Obama, leading the opposition.

Psalm 139:13

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.(NIV)

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Exodus 20:13

Thou shalt not kill

Let’s be clear about what Obama did, once in 2003 and twice before that. He effectively voted for infanticide. He voted to allow doctors to deny medically appropriate treatment or, worse yet, actively kill a completely delivered living baby. Infanticide – I wonder if he’ll add this to the list of changes in his next victory speech and if the crowd will roar: “Yes, we can.”

By the way, Obama publicly denies that he is for partial birth abortions, yet his previous words and actions show that to be a verifiable bold-faced lie!

I leave you with the following passages that have weighed heavily on my mind over the past three months:

1 Samuel 8:4-10, 18-19

• 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
• 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
• 6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
• 7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
• 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
• 9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
• 10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.[...]
• 18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
• 19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
