THE FACE OF DECEIT

 

Controversy continues to swirl around the nut job (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) as to whether he is a Muslim or a Christian. His mouthpiece said he prays everyday and meets with spiritual advisers regularly. Groups of people of all persuasions pray everyday, but that doesn’t make them a Christian or anything else for that matter. Saying you are something of a certain nature doesn’t translate to being the something of that certain nature. Anyone can say anything and sadly, a large number of people will believe it.

Jesus said in Matthew 15:7-9 when talking to the scribes and Pharisees, 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.  Those words apply to the nut job since he said he was a follower of Jesus who changed his life. He teaches strange doctrines that the only way he can be saved is to save the nation. Where in the Bible is that located?

Another verse that nails the man is found in Matthew (7:20) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  And what are his fruits? Denigration of our republic in speeches while in other countries; praising Islam and the Muslims; catering to homosexuals and the abortion crowd; and dishonoring the Constitution by not following it. There is more, but you should get the point being made.

He said in a speech that we were a nation that clings to its religion and guns; meaning that those who do as he thinks they are doing, are backward and against change. Yes, we are against the change the charlatan is trying to dump on us.

In a speech some months ago, he denigrated the Old Testament Law wherein is the record of what God spoke against certain sins. That use of the Bible in the way that he uses it shows his disdain for the Word of God. He also said that the most beautiful sound in the world was the sound of the Muslim’s evening call to prayer. What about the beautiful sound of the Gospel of Christ calling people to obey and following him?

The nut job’s spokesman said that faith was very important to the nut job. Of what faith was he speaking? Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. One body, the assembly of the saved, one Holy Spirit, one hope and calling to God, one God and father of all, not Allah and Mohammad. Yet, never one word from the nut job or his mouthpiece concerning the nature of his faith though he claims he was baptized.

Commentators are saying the people doubt him because they don’t understand his brand of Christianity. Their problem is that they do not know what the Bible says concerning what is required to be a Christian. (There is only one type of belief. Read the Ephesians verses quoted above.)  He has yet to tell us he loves God and Jesus Christ. Paul wrote, If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. (I Corinthians 16:22) Anathema means devoted to destruction and given up to the curse; that those so cursed should be ready for the destruction that is to come when the Lord returns.

When all that the nut job has said and done is examined critically, the conclusion is inescapable. He isn’t a Christian and his behavior identifies him a Muslim to the core. In Sorting It Out, he is the face of deceit and the people of this republic are in dire danger under his command.
