Dr. Gary Cass (Christian Anti-Defamation Commission) wrote a great article detailing why Obama’s faith is not Christian.
In a recent article about Obama’s faith, Newsweek reports that Obama reiterated his position that he is a “Christian” who rejects the idea that Jesus is the only way of salvation. Obama throws Christ under his campaign bus as he denies Christ is the only Savior of the World.
“It is a precept of my Christian faith that my redemption comes through Christ, but I am also a big believer in the Golden Rule, which I think is an essential pillar not only of my faith but of my values and my ideals and my experience here on Earth,” Newsweeks reports that Obama said. “I’ve said this before, and I know this raises questions in the minds of some evangelicals. I do not believe that my mother, who never formally embraced Christianity as far as I know … I do not believe she went to hell. My particular set of beliefs may not be perfectly consistent with the beliefs of other Christians.”
Obama rightly understands his faith is questionable and not Christian. That’s why he says his faith raises questions. But his faith is not only inconsistent with other Christians, it is inconsistent with Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Why would you say you are a Christian then denounce the teachings of Christ and the founders of the Christian Church? While it is very troubling to consider that anyone, especially a family member, might be in Hell, what really matters is what God has revealed, not what Obama wants to be true.
Below are a few examples from the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles that prove salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone.

Sadly I came to the realization that Obama is not a Christian after reading a statement he made concerning Christian faith. It wasn’t what you posted here, but similar.

Obama’s campaign web site has multiple lies, including 3 that relate to his experience with Islam, according to the statements made by those who knew him in Indonesia (and are still alive). Back then, he went by the alias “Barry Soetoro.” He was a practicing Muslim then, and known as a pious/religious Muslim who recited the Quran in Arabic, and he prayed in a mosque. The entire time he was in school — whether he was atttending Catholic school, a Muslim school or a secular school — his religion was listed either as Muslim or Islam.
The Obama campaign has conveniently dropped the lie about him never praying in a mosque, pretending that they never said that. They continue to claim that he was never a Muslim, so apparently when he claimed Muhammad was God’s prophet (which he would have said multiple times per day), he was just joking.
Hmmm… why not take a principled stand, Barry — er, uh, Barack?
The Obama campaign claims to have “thoroughly debunked” the other “myths,” yet if you follow the link to where they supposedly do the debunking, you get a 404 page not found error.

DaProf: Feel free to post some links to back up what you are saying. Not that I support Obama at all. But I just think links are needed in a post like that.
