Barack Obama's Christian Faith

Barack Obama is a Christian, period. Those who still deny this are liars with an agenda. The evidence that he is a Muslim is zero, the evidence that he is Christian is abundant. Here are just a few quotes: A Sampling of Quotes from Barack Obama As somebody who relies heavily on my Christian faith in my job, I understand the passions that religious faith can raise. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) (The story of Jesus' birth) that we are called to love each other as we love ourselves, that we are our brother's keeper and our sister's keeper, and our destinies are linked...It's a message that guides my Christian faith. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) (We can) see God in other people and do our best to help them find their, you know, their own grace...So that's what I strive to do...That's what I pray to do everyday. I think my public service is part of that effort to express my Christian faith. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) I found myself drawn - not just to work with the church but to be in the church...It was through this service that I was brought to Christ. - President Barack Obama, University of Notre Dame (May 17, 2010) It was because of these new-found understandings - that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking...that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized...But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) Secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering into the public square.

So to say that men and women should not inject their "personal morality" into public policy debates is a practical absurdity. Our law is by definition a codification of morality, much of it grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition. - Barack Obama (June 28, 2006) There is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again and that its tender branch will not cease...The work ahead will not be easy, and there will be setbacks. There will be challenges along the way. But thanks to you, thanks to the great people of this great city, New Orleans is blossoming again. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) I am a Christian by choice...I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead...Being my brothers' and sisters' keeper. Treating others as they would treat me. And I think also understanding that, you know, that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility that we all have to have as human beings. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) I'm a Christian by choice. My family didn't-frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn't raise me in the church. So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead-being my brothers' and sisters' keeper, treating others as they would treat me.... - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead: being my brother's and sister's keeper, treating others as they would treat me...I think my public service is part of that effort to express my Christian faith. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) It's interesting listening to the girls, what they pray for...They'll talk about family and thanking God for blessing us, but they'll always add a little twist: 'I hope we have a great Thanksgiving, I can't wait to see the cousins...They used to pray for a dog, until we got a dog. - President Barack Obama, commenting on the Obama family prayer before dinner It means all the world to us to know that there are prayer circles out there and people who are keeping the spirits clean around us. - First Lady Michelle Obama I'd just sit in the back and I'd listen to the choir and I'd listen to the sermon...There were times that I would just start tearing up listening to the choir and share that sense of release. - President Barack Obama (2008-2011) LINK: http://thejudeochristiantradition.blogspot.com...
