Obama Name Drops Jesus Christ More Than Bush Did

Home > Obama Name Drops Jesus Christ More Than Bush Did

It appears that Politico finds it interesting and somehow more acceptable that President Barack Hussein Obama (I use his middle name now that he has found renewed pride in having a Muslim middle name) drops the name of Jesus Christ far more than former President George W. Bush did while holding office.

Using the name of Jesus Christ means nothing, especially coming from a politician in today’s society, a group of selfish, narcissistic, ego maniacs who would do anything, including pimping their mothers, for a vote. Need we forget that comedian Bill Cosby told us that he was 12 years old before he realized his name wasn’t Jesus Christ. (For those who don’t get it, Cosby’s father yelled and swore at him a lot beginning many of his tirades with “Jesus Christ will you….”.

When George W. Bush spoke in any fashion about Jesus Christ, his faith, church, etc. within our society it more times than not created outrage among the people. When Obama invokes the name Jesus Christ, some might even think he is talking about himself.

The difference is simple really but it’s a difference that it appears Politico is either afraid of making or simply doesn’t see it. You see both Bush and Obama claim to be Christians as do the overwhelming majority of Americans today. What scares a lot of those Americans about George W. Bush is his claim of being a born again Christian. Obama talks of his Christianity and how he found Christ, etc. but I’ve never heard him proclaim that he is born again.

I’m not here to judge whether either man, Bush or Obama, is a Christian a Muslim or a Jew. I don’t know. But Americans find very little to fear in Barack Obama’s use of Jesus Christ or any such reference because many of the policies that Obama supports and actively promotes from his position of president of the most powerful nation on earth, run quite contrary to the Bible teachings that drive those who claim to be born again Christians.

Even the Bible warns us that many will speak of Jesus Christ and make many claims about Him but we should not be deceived. Am I telling you that Obama is a deceiver when it comes to Christianity? You’ll have to be the judge of that. What we shouldn’t do however is confuse the issue of Christianity as being the exact same things as being a born again Christian. I may have never attended a church before and my personal experience runs only so far as to believe there must be a God, yet I could still feel free to call myself a Christian and that doesn’t necessarily make me a born again Christian.

There are many churches and religious faiths and organizations that say they are Christian but not all members of these groups are born again. Just because Barack Obama is willing to easily name drop Jesus Christ is not the measure anyone should be using to determine what lies in his heart. Only God knows that.

You can never know another persons heart. Even long time life partners with shared experiences will admit that they don’t truly know exactly what their spouse might have hidden in their heart. The Bible teaches that you might recognize a true believer in Christ by the fruits they produce. Good things given from the heart to Glorify God not themselves. What are your observations of President Obama and his team? Remember it’s all the fashion to admit to some level of Christianity even if it is Apostate!

The monogram “IHS” – a symbol for Jesus – that appeared behind the podium where Obama spoke at Georgetown was covered up with a piece of black-painted plywood. This led to speculation that the White House had asked that all religious imagery in the hall be covered or removed, as our reader notes. But Georgetown University and the White House have said this was not a case of any kind of religious cover-up.

At a press conference in Turkey, President Obama casually rebuked the old chestnut that the United States is a Judeo-Christian nation.

“One of the great strengths of the United States,” the President said, “is … we have a very large Christian population — we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.”

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

So would you keep the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives open or restructure it?

You know, what I’d like to do is I’d like to see how it’s been operating. One of the things that I think churches have to be mindful of is that if the federal government starts paying the piper, then they get to call the tune. It can, over the long term, be an encroachment on religious freedom. So, I want to see how moneys have been allocated through that office before I make a firm commitment in terms of sustaining practices that may not have worked as well as they should have.

Q: You’ve talked about your experience walking down the aisle at Trinity United Church of Christ, and kneeling beneath the cross, having your sins redeemed, and submitting to God’s will. Would you describe that as a conversion? Do you consider yourself born again?

I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life. But most importantly, I believe in the example that Jesus set by feeding the hungry and healing the sick and always prioritizing the least of these over the powerful. I didn’t ‘FALL OUT IN CHURCH as they say, but there was a very strong awakening in me of the importance of these issues in my life. I didn’t want to walk alone on this journey. Accepting Jesus Christ in my life has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals.

I have been a member of the same church for almost 20 years, and I have never practiced Islam. I am respectful of the religion, but it’s not my own. One of the things that’s very important in this day and age is that we don’t use religion as a political tool and certainly that we don’t lie about religion as a way to score political points. I just thought it was important to get that in there to dispel rumors that have been over the Internet. We’ve done so repeatedly, but obviously it’s a political tactic of somebody to try to provide this misinformation.

Barack Obama does NOT know who Jesus is. But someday, he will. Someday everyone will. Satan, believes in Jesus, Obama believes in Allah. There is no Allah. There is however Jesus Christ, and he is the Savior of all mankind, and he will take His believers to heaven with Him. “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through Me” Jesus Christ said that, Allah was not mentioned. That should tell you something.

Covering the Jesuits ISIS HORUS SET insignia was for show…To the lay person lacking in knowledge this insignia represents Christ..To the Initiates in control of our government it represents ISIS HORUS SET..Lucifer.. ISIS is the mother, Horus is baby Jesus, and Set is Nimrod.. The Papacy is in 100% control of Obama..He is their slave…They rule all Shriners, Freemasons in the World…Obama is a Prince Hall 32nd degree, and BOULE Member…Bush is a 33rd degree, and a Skull and Bones member…

Every Mason has religion and belief in “a” god, but not a single Mason, has a relationship with the living God through Jesus Christ our Lord! Every Mason that has found the real treasure, an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, has forsaken the Lodge and its dead-end search for earthly, perishable, treasures!

Col. 1:26-28, 2:2-3
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: [27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: [28] Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; [3] In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Jahbulon as identified by the Masonic Ritual is a combination of 3 dieties! It is a mix of “Jehovah” with 2 Pagan dieties!
Here is an actual scanned copy from the “Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor or guide to the three symbolic degrees of the Ancient York Rite and to the degrees of Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and the Royal Arch” by Malcom C. Duncan, David McKay Company, Inc. New York.

Please note that they are saying that the Early Eastern Church mistakenly represented the Greek letters as “Jesus, the first and the Last.”

But the Royal Arch Degree has “seen it in its true light; but they have corrected the error unlearnedly. It ought to have been….”

Then they spell out the blasphemous name JAH BUL ON confirming this word to the combination of the names of the Syrian God, the Chaldea God and the Egyptian God.

Are these other God’s the same God of the Christian faith?

JAH- representing the name JAHOVAH, the blessed name of the Lord in the Old Testament. The name “Jesus” means “Jehovah is Salvation.”
BUL- representing the name BAAL or BEL, an Old Testament demon god. (1 Kings 16:29-33)

ON- represents the name of the Egyptian Sun god, another demon god. (Gen. 41:45, 50)

They have mixed the name of the Lord with DEMON GODS!

… and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. Exodus 23:13

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. (1 Cor 10:20-21 KJV)

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

The devil has had your government for many moons..

Matthew 7: 21-29

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

By his own admission President Obama states that he didn’t “Fall Out In Church” which I believe means he is not born again. Therefore he is still acceptable to the world and can be used by Satan (so is unlikely to be attacked on his using Jesus name) Which accounts for his popularity

By not being born again he does not poses the spirit of God and therefore cannot fathom why or for what good purpose God placed him in a position of power and authority.
We should pray that he spends more time in God’s word so he might become acceptable to our Lord and Savior and carry out the good works that are there for him to do if the Lord truly is with him in his walk.

John 3: 1-7

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council.

He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.

“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!”

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

HAVE YOU A GOD
By A. E. Knoch

Unsearchable Riches Volume 32 pages 99-104

I found this article the other day while looking for information on something else…..always seems to happen….little gems found while digging for something else. This Volume was written in January of 1941.

“I WILL BE FOR THEM A GOD” says Jehovah to Israel under the new covenant. Under the old covenant, He had neglected them, but under the new He will impart His laws to their comprehensions and inscribe them on their hearts. Hebrews 8:9-10

The old covenant left obedience to their own will, or determination, or choice. We are often told that this is absolutely necessary in order to produce conduct acceptable to God. Force, coercion or compulsion is said to rob obedience of all moral value.

If this is so, how can we explain God’s making a new covenant which determines the obedience of Israel thousands of years before they are even born? Why does He do away with the old covenant, if it alone had the one feature which gives value to obedience? Being a God to Israel seems to express the difference between the two covenants. As God He does the determining, the controlling, and leaves nothing to contingency or choice. That is the function of the Deity.

Under the old covenant Israel failed utterly because God neglected them and allowed them to choose for themselves and to exercise their own self-determination. But, except where God wrought by His spirit, they did the behests of the flesh Ephesians. 2:3, not the will of God.

Because there was no inward compulsion to do God’s will, they were drawn away from Him, not by their own choice or determination, but by other forces beyond their control. What was the result of this apparent liberty to choose? Romans 3:10-12 sums it up for us, instead of all or some choosing God, all avoid Him. Instead of freedom of choice giving value to obedience, it opens the sluice-gates to disobedience. Man is not free to choose His own way. He is either the dupe of evil forces or subject to God and he will always sin apart from the divine determination.

That is what the old covenant should teaches us, especially when we contrast it with the new. The question is, what is more agreeable to God, the old covenant, with its tablets of stone and Israel apparently free to follow her own inclinations, or the new, where obedience is a foregone conclusion, so that it is determined beforehand by writing the law on their hearts?

So called freedom in man is only a nice way of expressing his separation from God. He is abandoned to evil influences from within and from without, which lead him to oppose the will of God. He cannot please God until he is subject to God, which is the only true freedom for a creature.

The old covenant was an enigma. In order to put the people on trial, God based blessing on obedience. He knew they would not obey. But they did not know this, and real blessing depends on the knowledge that they could not and would not do His will. So it was necessary, for their sakes, and for all His creatures that the matter be demonstrated by experiment. (I would prefer the word…experience…as I do not think God experiments with His creation…since He is all knowing, knowing the outcome as Creator of the soulish nature, but humanity does not know the outcome and thus must learn through experience.)

When left to choose for himself, man does not, under any circumstances, delight God by free and unforced obedience. Yet God was often pleased with the obedience of those who He chose. Those who are in the flesh, apart from the power of God’s spirit, are not able to please Him. Romans 8:8 Only the chosen, the elect, are His delight. All the rest use their apparent self-determination to disobey and rebel against Him.

THE APOSTLES DID NOT CHOOSE CHRIST

Our Lord’s apostles are doubtless the best examples of the question of choice. If anyone chose Him, then they did, for they left all behind and followed Him. Probably they themselves looked at in this way.
But our Lord disillusioned them, and told them plainly, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you” John 15:16. This applies to all of the disciples, for He declared that “no one could come to Him except the Father draw them.” John 6:44

Christ knew that no one would come to Him of their own will and determination, they must be drawn. At times it seems almost as if they were forced, as in the case of the apostle Paul, in who the truth shines more clearly than with the rest. He was determined to oppose God, yet was practically compelled to yield to Him. Was not his conversion of far greater glory to God and more pleasing to Him that if he had made up his own mind to turn to God?

THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY

How could God foretell the future if He did not have absolute control of His creatures? How could there be a millennium if He allowed each Israelite to choose whether to serve Him or not? If they had this choice, and had not His Law written on their hearts, what would keep them from repeating their sad history of declension and rebellion? If God does not determine beforehand just what His creatures shall do, prediction would be impossible, and prophecy mere guess work.

It would be futile to talk about future bliss, and there would be no consummation but chaos It is not that men may turn against God and refuse to fall in line with His purpose, but that they will to do this if left to themselves. Even in the millennium those nations which are not under the direct control of God will turn against Him at its close. (Read Revelation 20:7,8)

THE WILL THAT DELIGHTS GOD

In His later and highest revelations God no longer speaks in enigmas, but tells us plainly how He operates and what delights Him. In Philippians the curtain is drawn aside and we are shown His method with His saints. In us He is operating to will as well as to work for His delight. Philippians 2:13 Let none of us think that, when He operates in us through His Word and spirit that we can do works for His delight. He does not depend upon us to choose the right of ourselves or to will what accords with His wishes, for that would only be the operation of the flesh or the influence of evil spirits and these are opposed to Him. So He displaces them and makes up our minds for us, so that our will coincides with His. And then He does the work through us. Being His will and His work, it is not merely acceptable to Him, but a positive delight. We are not conscious of coercion but rather that of fellowship and agreement. We are delighted when we do His will and not our own.

HIS ACHIEVEMENT

One of the most precious passages in God’s Word on the subject of human self-determination follows a restatement of the ground of our salvation in accord with the transcendent grace of Ephesians We are saved in grace, through faith. It is not out of us. It is God’s oblation. It is not out of works lest anyone should be boasting. “His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them.” Ephesians 2:7-10

If we will heed the words which we have underlined, it will be seen that our salvation and all our good works do not originate in us, or in our will or determination in any way. We will not be able to boast, that the choosing was ours, for God chose us long before we were born. No act of ours could put us in Christ Jesus before eonian times.

But God wishes to boast. He desires to display in us what He can do, so He created us in Christ Jesus. No stronger figure could be used to show that it was done without the least help on our part. Did Adam choose or determine or will to be created without his expressed permission? Was God indifferent to him or displeased because he had not acquiesced in his own creation? Such is the figure used of us. Before we were created in Christ Jesus we were quite as incapable of cooperating as Adam. Whatever conscious experience we may have had when believing was all a result of God’s operation. It originated in God, not in ourselves. We are only creatures. He alone is the Creator.

Almost all of us are in inclined to look upon our good works as the product of our very own private volition, for so it seems to our consciousness. We imagine that here, at least, God leaves us to ourselves, so that we may will and work to please Him. And we take credit for these, as something that we accomplish without God’s intervention. But this idea vanished we see that God made ready our good works beforehand. First they originate in Him, and He it is who puts them into our hearts and hands.

We will be rewarded for them, of course. But how much greater will be our thankfulness when we find ourselves commended for that which really came from Him and was wrought in us and through us by His power alone! And what a delight it will be to God to see His achievement in us! We are not our own achievement, but HIS!

ALL IN ALL

The touchstone of any teaching is its relation to God’s ultimate, the object that is to be attained through the eonian times, the final result at the consummation. That God will be All in all, very few, even of His saints, fully grasp. We are thankful for those who believe the second all. What we have been considering makes it possible for us to believe the first.

In Ephesians and Philippians He is on the way to being All in His saints. He wills and works in them. When they are vivified, this will become true in its fullest measure. The mere possibility of opposing God’s will, no longer will be present. Then we will know the full meaning of the title, God the DISPOSER. There is no freedom worthy of the name in doing our own will. It is found only in conformity with God’s. At the consummation all of His creatures will give Him His true place in their hearts and in their lives. He will become their All. No one will determine aught but God. There will be no coercion, for there will be no opposition. He will draw them to Himself and all will be subject to Him, the only normal and natural and agreeable state for a creature, in relation to his Creator.

The term Disposer gives us the essential idea of the Hebrew and Greek titles for God. He alone is the One Who has any right to will or to determine. Our place is to be subject. It is the work of the Son to bring all into subjection. Even He Himself will take that place. It is the task of the eons to bring this about.

Do we know God as the disposer, who throughout the maze of human history notwithstanding all the evil and sin that threatens to destroy His universe, will draw all to Himself at the blessed consummation? And do we know Him as our God, who alone enables us to approach and worship Him when we ourselves could not and would not?

Oh that we could learn that we are nothing and that He is our ALL! Then, and not till then, will we fully realize that we also have a God!
