Obama may not be powerful enough to ruin our nation (according to one poster and I disagree), but he IS an antichrist. My view as a believer has changed in that I believe we are witnessing a further movement into the end times.
That's quite the assumption you make there. An ignorant one at that. How can you call another believer an antichrist? And why would you without any facts?
I don't really have much hesitation that Obama could be the anti-Christ, but what dianetavegia said was *an* anti-Christ. It's true... look at the world rejoice at his election? Look at the world seeing Obama as a person they can trust... the world is happy. And, where did Obama come from? Unless you were from the state he was a senetor of, chances are you had never heard of him. Obviously this isn't the case always, but where did Obama come from? All of a sudden, he has risen to great power... and from being a nobody, essentailly, in the public eye.
His geneological decent... is shady at best. If you don't consider that Obama could be the anti-Christ, or at the very least *an* anti-Christ... you are the one who is ignorant. Sorry. The facts are the facts. I look at his moral stance, and how the world is rejoicing at his coming to power. Time will tell... and so will God what it all means.
Last time I checked it was up to God to judge our hearts. Whatever happened to confessing with your mouth? He's a confessed christian.
I'm judging his actions. he supports abortion. Whether you want to face the facts or not is up to you, but this one stance says a *lot* about a personal moral backbone. I don't really care if a person *says* they are a Christian. If they want to lead rightly, they are going to have to *be a Christian*. Giving lip-service to God and following God with actions are two different thigns.
Obama
I'm pro choice as well and that doesn't make me any less of a Christian than anyone else.
And what in the world are you trying to prove with that photo? The man is from Kenya. Geez... just keeps getting crazier in here.
But regardless, I believe that God puts into office who He wants to accomplish His purpose, whatever that may be. I promise the election didn't scare God in the least bit. But like someone else said, my views of Christians have changed since the election, and not in a good way. :(

Look at what the world has had to deal with from us over the past 8 years. What would you expect?
In addition, this isn't the first time that people from around the world have congratulated a new U.S. President (or celebrated it for that matter).
Kennedy, anyone?

Once again, if you did not get it the first time, I am not your son. Don't call me that. I did not state the only reason was because unwed mothers, I stated it was the biggest reason, the most common. I do not interpret God's word, I believe what it says on a literal basis, and rely on the Spirit to explain what I do not understand. For someone who is only been saved about 4 years, I feel like I have grown a lot spiritually, and am continuing to grow as He continues to work to bring to light the meaning of the word of God in my life. I do know where my focus is, and it is not on worldly things. I focus on Spiritual matters and seeing a situation in the light of God's word.
Now, I do not know if you think that I am condemning you for voting for Obama, but if you go back and read my posts, not once have I said anything about your vote. You have the right to vote whatever way you like. You have some valid points for your reasons, and I do not argue with you on those, even though I do disagree with you and have serious concerns about Obama's policies and stance on more than just the 2 issues that I've been discussing. I for one think that the constitution is the basis of governing our country, which means more power to the states and less power to the federal government. THat is something that has been flipped over the past 100 years or so, where the federal government has more power than the states, and it is a trend that is getting out of control. This is one of the issues that I have with McCain as well, because they are both big government boys. But at least McCain was talking about cutting spending and taxes for everyone, while Obama is going to raise taxes ( I do not believe it will be limited to just the top 5% either for one moment), create a whole new government beauracracy to handle healthcare, which in essence means the federal government will grow, rather than get smaller. The bigger the federal government gets, the less power the people get, and that was one of the worries that our founding fathers had. I also have questions about his integrity and judgement, as well about his ambition.

Exactly Torch! I was so happy on election night that I cried. As did a lot of other people. The past 8 years have been rough...

Look... sorry, but actually supporting abortion *does* make you less Christian. Anyone who says it doesn't is just giving you lipservice, and kisses to make you feel better, and is only harming you in doing so. ANYTHING we do WHICH IS SIN makes us LESS OF A CHRISTIAN. Hate to say this, but supporting abortion *does make you less Christian.* Chrsitian means *little Christ* and if you think supporting abortion makes you no less of a *little Christ*, you are way wrong.

No, you're probably right. Doing the opposite of what Christ does, doesn't make you any less like Him. Anyone who supports abortion is, in fact, being *less like Christ*

No, you didn't. You said this:
"Add to that, who is it that are having abortions. Women who are not married. They want to avoid the natural consequence of their sin, therefore sin is begetting sin."
I see no mention that they're the majority, or anything else of the sort. You said they're the ones having the abortions.

That's fine. In fact, that's EXCELLENT! I'm glad you disagree with him on this! It gives me a much better view of you than what I had. I firmly thought you were voting only upon abortion and gay rights from the way the argument was going. HUGE KUDOS to you!
I'm not asking you to agree with any of that; all I want is for the bickering and instant accusing of him of being a monster before he's even had a chance to be a puppy to stop.

Listen Torch, it is one Spirit who baptizes all into one body. One Spirit, one mind, the mind of Christ. Take the time to read through the book of Philipians. It teaches we are to have the mind of Christ in a number of places. But there is a war between our old nature and our new nature. There are a whole lot of christians for whatever reason, who choose to think with their old nature, not the new one. As you read through those posts from that thread, how many are reasoning according to the way the world thinks, and not according to the way the Spirit thinks? After reading the book of Philipians, turn to Romans chapter 8, and read what is says about the things that the Spirit thinks about. He does not think like the world, and we as christians are not to think like the world. We are to be holy, set apart from the world, in the way that we think and the way that we act.
I know that you do not support abortion from reading through your threads. But for those who do, I have to question whose mind are they thinking with. Is it the mind of christ, or their own mind.

Tell them. Tell these people that they aren't Christians because they're pro-choice. They're all from this forum.
OR you could read and learn that not every Christian thinks like you do.

You're right. Anyone who does the oposite of you is less of a Christian, Daniel. Maybe that's what Christ wrote in the mud? "Do as Daniel does."

Go talk to them; not to me. It does far better to preach to the congregation than the choir. But you might be surprised what you're in for. Remember, you're interpreting the Bible your way, and they're interpreting it their's. You might find that you're not right.

Go talk to them. Learn more about why they think the way they do (something not enough of us do, anymore... myself included). I'm done with you on this issue.

I'm pro choice as well and that doesn't make me any less of a Christian than anyone else.
Look... sorry, but actually supporting abortion *does* make you less Christian. Anyone who says it doesn't is just giving you lipservice, and kisses to make you feel better, and is only harming you in doing so. ANYTHING we do WHICH IS SIN makes us LESS OF A CHRISTIAN. Hate to say this, but supporting abortion *does make you less Christian.* Chrsitian means *little Christ* and if you think supporting abortion makes you no less of a *little Christ*, you are way wrong. Not saying it makes you *less saved*, but it does make you less Christian.

But regardless, I believe that God puts into office who He wants to accomplish His purpose, whatever that may be. I promise the election didn't scare God in the least bit. But like someone else said, my views of Christians have changed since the election, and not in a good way. :(
Amen. It didn't catch Him off gaurd--that's not the point.
Luke 17:1
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Sorry you feel that way. Also sorry that God doesn't agree.
No, you're probably right. Doing the opposite of what Christ does, doesn't make you any less like Him. Anyone who supports abortion is, in fact, being *less like Christ*
Meh. I wasn't aware that Christ voted in this election. That's ok tho, I love you anyway.
I was still talking about supporting abortion.
You speak as though you are an oracle of the Lord, His chosen mouthpeice. This is very shocking but I want you to know that people can differ on opinions and still serve the same God. *gasp
