Obama Mocks and Attacks Jesus Christ And The Bible. A top U.S.
evangelical leader is accusing Sen. Barack Obama of deliberately
distorting the Bible and taking a fruitcake interpretation of the
U.S. Constitution. In comments aired on his radio show, Focus on the
Family founder James Dobson criticized the Democratic presidential
nominee for comments he made in a June 2006 speech to the liberal
Christian group Call to Renewal. In the speech, Obama suggested that
it would be impractical to govern based solely on the word of the
Bible, noting that some passages suggest slavery is permissible and
eating shellfish is disgraceful. Which passages of scripture should
guide our public policy? Obama asked in the speech. Should we go
with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating
shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which
suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should
we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount? So before we get carried
away, lets read our Bible now, Obama said, to cheers. Folks havent
been reading their Bible. He also called Jesus Sermon on the Mount a
passage that is so radical that its doubtful that our Defense
Department would survive its application. Dobson said Obama should
not be referencing antiquated dietary codes and passages from the
Old Testament that are no longer relevant to the teachings of the
New Testament. I think hes deliberately distorting the traditional
understanding of the Bible to fit his own world view, his own
confused theology, Dobson said, adding that Obama is dragging
biblical understanding through the gutter. Dobson said the
suggestion is an attempt to lead by the lowest common denominator of
morality. Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the
political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to
the lives of tiny babies? he asked. What hes trying to say here is,
unless everybody agrees, we have no right to fight for what we
believe. What the senator is saying there, in essence, is that I
cant seek to pass legislation, for example, that bans partial-birth
abortion, because there are people in the culture who dont see that
as a moral issue, Dobson said. And if I cant get everyone to agree
with me, than it is undemocratic to try to pass legislation that I
find offensive to the Scripture. Now, that is a fruitcake
interpretation of the Constitution. In a stunning display of
ignorance- and in a speech you will NOT see in the mainstream media,
because even they apparently understand how ignorant Obama was on
the issue, Obama exposes his disdain for Christians, and exposes his
disdain for the word of God, by taking the typical, petty, ignorant
position, that the bible advocated slavery and the stoning of
children, apparently implying that Christians should live their
faith by reinstating customs that were obviously secular laws that
were in place in a time long ago. Obama not so subtly implied that
Christians are hypocrites because they dont agree to put themselves
back under the laws of Moses that are no logner relevent to
Christians today! The laws of Moses were a Jewish-only set of laws.
Barack Obama claims he found the Lord, whatever that means to him,
but his obvious contempt for Gods word exposes the fact that Christ
is not the one in control of his heart. His speech was a blatant
misrepresentation of Christianity, and it was a speech whos intent
was to malign and denigrate Christians, and to denigrate this great
nation of ours. Stoning children for blatant disrespect of parents
and of God, was a Jewish-only commandment meant to purge evil from
among Gods elected people. Nowhere in the bible does God command
anyone other than His own elected people, the Jews, to purge evil in
such a manner. Barack Obama however is apparently too ignorant of
biblical truth to realize this fact, and apparently he feels that he
is big enough to call Gods commandments toward the Jews into
question? Obama is also apparently too ignorant of Gods word to
understand that Christ
