Attention!!! There is only One Way to Heaven

Barack Obama is not alone. I recently posted some quotes that Barack Obama made in the past about his belief in getting to Heaven. I asserted that Obama doesn’t know “squat” about being a Christian, and that if he wanted to win the presidency he needed to appeal to “Evangelicals.” Well, if he wants to connect with “Christian” voters he is apparently doing the right thing. Deny that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, and you are in agreement with the majority of so called “Christians.”

Recent polls have been published which show that American “Christians” do not hold to the basic tenets of the Christian faith, specifically “one way to God.” Check out these numbers:

  • 70% of religiously affiliated people believe that there are many ways to Heaven
  • 57% of “evangelicals” believe in many ways to Heaven

And get this one:

  • 60% of professing Southern Baptists believe that there are many ways to Heaven

Oprah’s gospel is now more accepted in the mainline protestant church than Jesus’ gospel is. And why has the church created so many who profess Christ but don’t possess Christ?

A few reasons:

  • We have persuaded people to “choose Jesus” without telling them that they must “bow to Jesus.”
  • We urge them to “just worship Him’” and not to worry about “serving Him”.
  • We tell them to come and “get a healing” when they really need to come and “get a cleansing.”
  • We tell them that He is “Love” and neglect that He is “Holy.”
  • We teach His “Grace” and forget His “Commandments.”
  • We talk about His “Mercy” and leave out His “Wrath.”

And thus, they can claim Him without believing Him. Yet it was Christ himself that said:

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

So Barack, if it is “Evangelicals” you need, then welcome to the White House.

Obama seeks Christian votes

Barack Obama realizes that he cannot win the Presidency of the United States without getting some percentage of the “Evangelical” vote. John Kerry and Al Gore have recently discovered this. So in order to try and pull some of those voters, Obama has been trying to appear more Christian, and even “Evangelical”.  See the article Obama Is No Joshua by Cal Thomas. Looking at some of the statements Obama has made in the past show that he is not an “Evangelical.”

“I’m rooted in the Christian tradition,”

“I believe 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.”

“The difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and proselytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that if people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior, they’re going to hell.”

“I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. When I tuck in my daughters at night and I feel like I’ve been a good father to them, and I see that I am transferring values that I got from my mother and that they’re kind people and that they’re honest people, and they’re curious people, that’s a little piece of heaven.”

These quotes demonstrate one thing, that Obama doesn’t know “squat” about being a Christian. He is a Universalist, in that he thinks you can believe in anything and go to heaven. His Christianity is based on tradition.  He doesn’t believe the Bible, especially when it teaches that those who “haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior” are going to hell.  He has no assurance that he will go to heaven when he dies, and apparently is putting trust in the fact that he is a good person.

The following verses of Scripture show that Obama is wrong and doesn’t believe the Bible.

Acts 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

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.

Revelation 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

1 John 5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Ephesians 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

My six year old daughter could realize that Obama has no idea of what biblical Christianity is. I only hope that the so called “Evangelicals” do not fall for his religious speak this election year and vote this guy into the White House.

For the record, George Bush was also a Universalist, and didn’t believe that anyone would go to hell. I do not think he understood, or believed the Bible. Why did I vote for him? Because he stood up for the life of the unborn, and was against homosexual marriage.  Obama, on the other hand, is the most anti-life senator in Washington, and would be the most liberal president ever.

Christians shouldn’t look for the candidate that is the most Christian, but the candidate that will stand up for Christian values.  I don’t know that McCain is the best man, nor do I know, or believe, that he is a true Christian, but he is the more conservative choice. Unfortunately, he’s the only choice.

Homeschooling illegal in California! Who’s next?

While reading Al Mohler’s, blog I noticed the following story from the San Francisco Chronicle which is in reference to a recent decision by a California court which bans homeschooling in the state.

“California courts have held that … parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children,” Justice H. Walter Croskey said in the 3-0 ruling issued on Feb. 28. “Parents have a legal duty to see to their children’s schooling under the provisions of these laws.”

According to this story, parents who do not hold state teaching credentials, will no longer be allowed to teach their children at home. If these parents do not enroll their children in a public or private school, which is state approved, they will be subject to prosecution under the states truancy laws.

“With this case law, anyone in California who is homeschooling without a teaching credential is subject to prosecution for truancy violation, which could require community service, heavy fines and possibly removal of their children under allegations of educational neglect,”

It appears from the article, that this ruling will also cause trouble for small private schools which do not hire accredited teachers. This will leave Christian families with no other choice than to give their children to the state to be brainwashed by its liberal ideology.

“California courts have held that … parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children,”

This proves that liberals are wanting to take away a parent’s God given right and duty, to teach their children. What happens in California is just a glimpse of our future, as long as we keep putting politicians like Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary in office. Give either one of them eight years, and see what happens next.

Patriotism

I have recently been accused of thriving on controversy, so I figured I would write a controversial post.

Patriotism. What is it?

Dictionary.com gives the following definitions:

1. Love of and devotion to one’s country. — The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004

2. Devoted love, support, and defense of one’s country; national loyalty. — Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc.

3. Love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it; — WordNet® 3.0.

Three similar definitions, each giving a similar sense of what the word means, but each with its on specific idea.

There is probably no one in America that would question definition #1. Love and devotion to our country. Most Americans would claim to be a patriot in that sense of the word without hesitating. But if someone loved and was devoted to this country wouldn’t they at the least vote in its elections. Yet I know many good people who will not even take a little time out of their busy schedule to stop by the polling place and cast a vote on election day.

Definition 2 however, states that you must love your country, support it, and defend it. Not too many Americans are willing to defend the country. To defend it means that you must be willing to fight for it. You must be willing to beat up the bullies who want to tear it down. The parasites who are living within it, and are destroying it from the inside out. A true defender will expose these parasites (BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA), and we will keep them out of power. Part two of this definition says National Loyalty. Liberals in this country claim to be Patriotic yet daily they bring up its short comings. They talk about the greatness of Canada and Europe with their Socialism. They talk about the evils of a country which wants to keep illegals out. These morons want us to think that they are patriotic. Not according to definition #2. National Loyalty is just that, it is being loyal to your nation. Not trying to tear it down. Not insulting it and its principles. I believe that National Loyalty requires us to support the Constitution as it was written, and not attempting to redefine it. No, Liberals (HILLARY CLINTON) are not loyal to their country, and they are not patriots.

Definition 3 goes a step farther. It says that patriotism includes sacrifice. How many Americans are willing to sacrifice for their country (JOHN MCCAIN). Well, today we have approximately 3 million men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces. These are men and women who have made sacrifices to serve their country. This is real patriotism. As a matter of fact, I believe this is the only true act of patriotism for men who are able to serve. In other words, able bodied men who do not serve are not patriots. They are not making sacrifices for their country.

According to definition #1 someone who flies a flag in his yard and stands for the National Anthem might be considered a patriot. According to # 2 a person would have to defend his country and be loyal to it. And according to # 3 a person would have to make sacrifices for it.

As I look around me I see the multitude of young men who have not answered their country’s call. I remember having several discussions with some teenage boys around 98 as I had just gotten out of active duty, and encouraged them to enlist in the military and do their duty. I had some of them tell me that they didn’t have a problem with serving, but that they didn’t believe their country needed them at the moment. But if it ever did, they would be ready. I remember hearing preachers tell about how they were too old to serve, but if their country was ever attacked they would put their boys on the first bus to Paris Island, SC. Well guess what happened? September 11, 2001. And what did those teenagers do? They hid behind mommy’s skirt, and never even considered doing their duty. What about that preacher’s sons? Well they never saw Paris Island.

Why does this bother me? It bothers me because Christians should be the most patriotic people around. Yet, after 8 years of military service I see exactly the opposite. It is rare that a Christian ever answers the call to serve his country. Why is that? Let’s see, Patriotism is about love, dedication, loyalty, sacrifice, and defense. Jesus Christ was about the same thing. He was loving, dedicated to His mission, Loyal to His Father, became the ultimate Sacrifice. What better way to emulate Jesus Christ than to be a Patriot. Defend the Country that God let you be born in. Defend the right to worship Him freely. Defend the right to declare His Word in public. That is Patriotism, and that is Christian.

God help this country! We have a bunch of coward men who are going to be running our churches, businesses, and government in the next few years. We have a bunch unloyal women who will not sacrifice an hour of soap opera to cast a vote for a Conservative candidate on election day. Christians are giving this country away, and we will be the first to complain when we are told that we can no longer preach the Bible, take our children to Sunday School, teach that homosexuality is an abomination, or refuse to send our children to public schools. Wake up Church!

Here is what I think we need:

  1. All able bodied Christian men 30 and under should make a sacrifice and volunteer to defend America. Quit being cowards!
  2. All older men and those unable to serve should pledge to support those who are serving. Write them and pray for them.
  3. All men and women should make sure that they vote in all elections and cast their vote for the most conservative candidate available (MIKE HUCKABEE).
  4. All Christians should spend more time in prayer for this country and for its leaders (GEORGE BUSH).
  5. Preachers in churches need to emphasize the importance of believers serving this country. Quit telling young men that the military is no place for them. Just because you cowarded out doesn’t mean they should.

Thank God for those men and women who have answered the call. Thank God for those who are currently serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all the other parts of the world. Let’s remember to pray for them. And let’s remember which of our presidential candidates is a war hero. Let’s remember who was a real patriot. No, I don’t agree with everything he does either, but God help us if either of these other two up-chucks get elected.

God Bless America!!!

President Barack Hussein Obama

Wow, doesn’t that have a nice ring to it? The RNC has now decided that it will not use the man’s middle name in campaign adds. If the man is not ashamed of the name, then why on earth can we not use it? His name sounds like that of a terrorist. He has been photographed wearing Muslim head gear. He belongs to a church which is committed to Africa. The church’s pastor has been openly critical of Israel, and sympathetic with terrorists. His church honored the racist Muslim leader Farrakhan. Even after Obama attempted to publicly separate himself from Farrakhan, Farrakhan continues to urge his followers to stick with Barack Hussein Obama.

I don’t know what the RNC is thinking, but they need to get rid of this nice guy attitude. Obama needs to be exposed. He needs to be exposed for everything he is associated with, for everything he believes, everything he has said, everything he has done and not done. He is not qualified to run a candy store. He knows nothing of the military. He doesn’t know the difference between a platoon and battalion. He has no concept of patriotism. He thinks he will honor American Troops by leaving Iraq and letting it be taken over by radicals. That may be what he wants.

Republicans who do not like McCain are now starting to support Hussein. These people need to wake up. This guy is a joke. He will definitely bring change, I just don’t know what kind. Probably something like higher taxes, long lines at the doctor’s office, unlimited welfare for the lazy, and free abortions for teenage girls without their parents consent. Yeah, that’s great for America.

I think of I Samuel 8:5-22, when Israel was tired of the way things were, and they wanted change. Samuel warned them of what would become of them if they got their king, but they said that they wanted to be like other nations. Well, God gave them their king, and everything Samuel had warned them about, they got that as well.

America wants change. They want Socialism. They want free health care like Canada. They want a passive military like France. They want a Mosque on every street corner like in London. Well, vote for Barack Hussein Obama in November and they just might get it.
