Bible Study Title: Seven Reasons Why Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Video Transcripts: Seven Reasons Why Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Monday, 05 January 2009 18:13 VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #1 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #1: Obama Believes There Are Many Paths to Heaven I’m Rev. Don Hamer on behalf of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission with reason number 1 why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian, by any biblical or historic measure. In a 2004 interview with Cathleen Falsani, Obama said, “I believe that there are many paths to the same place.” Obama also said, “All people of faith—Christians, Jews, Muslims, animists, everyone knows the same God.” But Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Nowhere in the Bible is there a reference to Obama’s “many paths.” At a meeting of evangelical leaders in 2008, Obama was asked whether he believed Jesus was the only way to salvation. Obama replied, "Jesus is the only way for me."'[2] In a stunning example of subtle, diabolical deceit, Obama affirms Christ as his own Savoir then negates Christ as the only Savior of the world. Jesus warned us not to be deceived by those who would lead us astray. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” Jesus is the narrow gate and the only way to heaven. Obama’s view says, in effect, that Jesus’ death on the cross was unnecessary since there are multiple ways to God. The many paths of Obama are in reality just the broad road to destruction. Who are you going to believe, Jesus Christ or Barack Obama? VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #2 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #2: Obama Denies the Authority of the Bible I’m Rev. Don Hamer on behalf of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission with reason number 2 why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian, by any biblical or historic measure. God’s people confess that the Bible is God’s inspired and infallible Word and the Christian’s final authority of faith and practice. In a recent speech Obama distinguished himself from those who believe in the authority of the Bible. “Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do.” Obama went on to disparage and denigrate the scriptures. In a very cynical way, Obama twists selective scriptures to advance non-Biblical lifestyles using the golden rule to justify supporting homosexual sodomy. Obama even invokes the Bible by applying biblical pages to his campaign’s theme of political hope that actually refer to the hope Christians have in Christ. “At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise, that American promise, and in the words of scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.” Obama twists the Bible in an attempt to lend credibility to his agenda, even though he denies the Bible and it’s clear moral teachings. Obama is even derisive of faithful African American pastors who treat the Bible with respect. For Obama, his opinion, not the scripture, is the final authority. Jesus prayed to His Father, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” Who are you going to believe, Jesus or Obama? VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #3 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #3: Obama Supports Homosexuality I’m Rev. Don Hamer on behalf of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission with reason number 3 why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian. Barack Obama is an unabashed supporter of special privileges for homosexuals, a stand that flies in the face of the biblical prohibition on homosexual sodomy. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus affirmed that every “jot and tittle” of the Bible is true, including the parts that condemn homosexuality.In an interview with the homosexual publication, the Advocate, Obama attacked faithful black pastors who faithfully proclaim what the Bible says about homosexuality. “…most African-American churches are still fairly traditional in the interpretations of Scripture. And so from the pulpit or in sermons you still hear homophobic attitudes expressed.” However, Obama lavished praise on his controversial former pastor and mentor, Jeremiah Wright, for being “very good on gay and lesbian issues.” Obama’s former church, Trinity United Church of Christ voted recently to approve of homosexual marriage. Obama dismissed as “obscure,” the clear and definitive teaching of the Apostle Paul in Romans 1 that calls homosexual acts “indecent” and “perverse.” Obama has also promised to overturn the Federal Defense of Marriage Act and promised to reverse the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy regarding homosexuality in the US military. When it comes to homosexuality, Obama opposes the traditional, biblical and historic standards of the Christian faith. Who are you going to believe, God and his Word or Barack Obama? VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #4 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #4: Obama Supports Abortion I’m Rev. Don Hamer on behalf of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission with reason number 4 why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian by any biblical or historic standard. Appearing before a recent meeting of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America, Obama proudly said… “I have consistently had a 100% pro-choice rating with Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America.” Obama says, “The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.” This act would stop states from restricting abortions of any kind, even partial birth abortion. Throughout the history of the church, Christians have opposed abortion because they believe that life begins at conception. Abortion is as an attack on the innocent human life of a baby who is made in the image of God. Obama recently said at a Forum hosted by Pastor Rick Warren that to know when a baby ought to have human rights it is “above his pay grade,” but he is very clear that a baby can be killed anytime, even after it is born. On four separate occasions Obama has voted against bills that prevented the killing of infants that are born alive, having survived an attempted abortion. Who are you going to follow, God and his Word or Barack Obama? VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #5 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #5: Obama Affirms Muslim Prayer Hello, I am Rev. Don Hamer for the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission with reason number 5, why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian by any biblical or historic or standard. In a New York Times interview in 2007, entitled Obama, A man of the World, Obama fondly recalled the Islamic evening call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” According to the article, “Obama went on to recite its opening lines with a perfect Arabic accent: “Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but Allah! I witness that there is no god but Allah! I witness that Muhammad is his prophet!” The article said this would “give any one living Alabama a heart attack.” Christians believe that Jesus Christ is God’s True Prophet, the full and final revelation of God. No true Christian can say the Muslim call to prayer is a “pretty sound” because it is a direct challenge to the truthfulness of Jesus Christ as the Word of God made flesh. Mohammad denied that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Muslim call to prayer affirms that Mohammad is God’s prophet. Jesus said, “For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." John 18:37 NKJV Who are you going to believe, Jesus or Obama? VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #6 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #6: Obama is Associated with Black Liberation Theology Hello, I am Rev. Don Hamer, on behalf of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, with reason number 6 why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian by any historic or biblical standard. For 20 years Barack Obama was a member of a Trinity United Church of Christ, one of the most radical “Afro-centric” churches in America, lead by Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Rev. Wright is a self described Black Liberation theologian who, according to Obama, was his spiritual mentor. Rev. Wright railed against the United States after the attacks of September 11th saying, “Not God bless America, God D*** America!” Wright preached that 9/11 was God’s “payback” to the United States for “ignoring black concerns.” Wright even said that HIV/AIDS (HIV / AIDS Victims 2) is a plot, orchestrated by the U.S. government, to kill blacks. Obama initially defended Wright, but then resigned from the church only after Wright’s radical views became a political liability. Black Liberation theology is from the 1970s and is based upon Marxism, socialism and class warfare. Although discredited decades ago, it still lives on at Obama’s home church. According to Black Liberation Theologian, James Cone, racial identity trumps the fact that he is a Christian. "The fact that I am Black is my ultimate reality… it is impossible for me to surrender this basic reality for a ‘higher, more universal’ reality.” “Black theology knows no authority more binding than the experience of oppression itself. This alone must be the ultimate authority in religious matters.” Black liberation theology declares that whites are essentially evil and are to be viewed as the enemy. "Whiteness as revealed in the history of America, is the expression of what is wrong with man. It is a symbol of man’s depravity… the coming of Christ means… destroying the white devil in us… in white racist society, Christian obedience can only mean being obedient to blackness, it’s glorification and exaltation… all white churches (are) anti-Christian in their essence." The fact is, there is a mixture of good and evil in every person and in every race. All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Jesus rejected race based theology. The Jews and the Samaritans of Christ’s day despised each other and even had rival places of worship, but Jesus said to a Samaritan woman. “The hour is coming and now is when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship him.” John 4:23 True worship, according to Jesus, transcends a person’s race. By creation, all mankind share one blood. In redemption, all who believe, from any race, are saved by Christ. In heaven there will people of every tongue, tribe, people and nation in heaven who have been saved by God’s grace in Jesus Christ. Who are you going to believe, Jesus or Obama’s black liberation theology? VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Reason #7 Barack Obama Is Not A Christian Reason #7: Obama Has No Bona Fide Christian Testimony Hello, I am Rev. Don Hamer on behalf of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission with reason number 7, why Barack Obama, who claims to be a Christian, is not a Christian by any biblical or historic standard. By Obama’s own account of his essential elements of true biblical conversion are lacking, namely, conviction of sin, repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the world. When asked if he believed in sin, Obama said “Yes.” But when asked to define it, Obama said sin is, “Being out of alignment with my values.” Obama said he feels most aligned spiritually “when I’m being true to myself.” According to the Bible, when man sins, he sins against a Holy God in the violation of God’s holy law. Sin is not based on any man’s standards. Righteousness is obedience to God and his word. Obama is offended by the notion that all people need Christ in order to be saved. “The difficult thing about… Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize... 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.” So, if Jesus is not a Savior who rescues from hell, then who is Jesus to Obama? “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.” This is not the testimony of a true Christian. For Obama, Jesus is merely a historical figure not the risen and living Lord. For Obama, Jesus is merely “a” bridge in the “Christian faith,” not the only bridge for all mankind. For Obama, Jesus is a means to some vague “higher” thing. To the Christian, knowing and experiencing Christ is the highest attainment of the Christian life. Obama venerates doubt, which is contrary to the assurance of eternal salvation and truth which Christ gives his people. Asked if he was “born again,” Obama answered, “Yeah … [but] I retain… a suspicion of dogma… I think that religion at it's best comes with a big dose of doubt… I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die.” Asked to describe the day he was converted Obama denies that there was any kind of supernatural enlightenment or an epiphany or a specific moment when he finally “got it.” “I think it was just a moment to certify or publicly affirm a growing faith in me.” Obama’s testimony does not have the marks of a bona fide biblical conversion. Jesus gives his assurance that “He who believes on me has everlasting life,” and “I go to prepare a place for you!” When asked where he finds inspiration, Obama does not mention a relationship with Christ. He does mentions a lot of things church, but not Jesus. When asked who was his role model he mentions Gandi. “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.” No mention of Christ. Without the public admission that you are lost in sin and that you have turned from your sin and put your faith in Christ and his shed blood as the only remedy for sin, you are not truly converted. Who are you going to believe, God and his Word or Obama?

Obama does say there are many paths. That makes him an antichrist. For he denies what christ clearly taught. That means Obama is going to hell. Why would anyone want a leader of their country who is going to hell?
There are many examples proving Gary Cass wrong about President Obama never talking about his relationship with Jesus Christ. And the First Amendment by your argument is Satanist as it respects the right of religious freedom. It is the job of the President to defend religious freedom and to develop respect for all faiths. Obama is just doing what every president before him does as part of his upholding of the U.S. Constitution by showing respect for religious diversity. The above quote from the above piece I also linked is one of many examples refuting accurately Cass' claim Obama has never cited a personal devotion and relationship with Jesus.
He is a liar Mike. Gods word makes it very clear that you can't serve two masters. He made it very clear that he is the only way to Heaven. Obama doesn't believe that. Will Obama believe that someday? I don't know, maybe maybe not. A christian CANNOT believe that Muslims have a path to heaven and be accurate.
This is your biased opinion, Stone. He has been a Christian a long time, and the evidence stacks against your contention.
Mike your president called the Koran Holy. The Koran denies that Christ was the son of God. Mike that is antichrist. You can't be antichrist and a christian at the same time. Mike Obama even said in an interview "his muslim faith".
The Koran respects Jesus as a prophet, and has a special relationship with his mother Mary. And it is religious text held by it's believers to be as holy as you and Judaism holds the Bible to be. As far as that hatchet job of selecting and editing President Obama's past speeches go, the claim Obama said he was Muslim falls apart when you look at the speech they did selective and creative editing goes. We also did this to Hitler in WW II when people were enraged seeing Hitler dance in celebration at death and conquest. it wasn't until the late 50s or early 60s it was revealed how this was a looped segment of film made to look like he was dancing but actually wasn't. There are lots of inaccurate You Tube fims out there, including many that inaccurately criminalize Reagan and Bush; so what?
The Koran is of satan. Of course it is camouflaged and cloaked in half truths. It is what gave it a little credibility to the more foolish inhabitants of the planet.
Here is a page of links to precedents and decisions by the SCOTUS regarding religious freedom. There is an overwhelming amount of Stare decisis that forge what I say into principles for religious freedom in these United States. Peruse them, they contend exactly what I say, as they are the decisions that mold and shape the principle of religious respect and tolerance in this country.

I care not what the black robed fools say. The constitution means what it says it means not what these usurpers make up and "shape".
