Person of Faith

I've been seeing bits and pieces of an interview with Obama lately, and I've got to post my feelings on him. Let me start off by saying - I believe I have been blessed with a gift - I can read people. I know that sounds strange. But I believe most women have this to a degree. I can usually tell after a short time what kind of person someone is. This has been very beneficial to me since my hubby is a youth pastor. When we go to a new church, I can tell you within a couple of weeks (usually the first Sunday) who is going to be a good friend, and who we need to keep an eye on. I can tell you right off who the trouble makers are. I can even tell you who is being friendly, but will eventually stab us in the back. It's just something I've been blessed with.

Having said that - I believe that Obama is a liar. I believe he is fooling America. He has already fooled a few big name celebrities. One in particular does not surprise me, as this person is very "confused" about matters of faith anyway. But Obama is not what he seems. He is not being honest with America. If he is elected president, we should be afraid. He is not what he seems.

Recently he said something about being a "person of faith". However, if you look at other comments he has made, it is obvious his faith is not what he wants Americans to believe. I'm sorry, but there is only ONE way to Heaven. The Bible is very clear about that. And just b/c more and more Americans are falling for the "there are many paths to the same place" speech, does NOT make it true. It doesn't really matter what people believe or say - Truth is truth. Everyone can believe that today is Friday, but that does not make today Friday - no matter how much you want it to be true, or how many people say it's so. And a true believer will know that what I say is right. So just b/c Obama calls himself a "person of faith" does not mean faith in one true God - the only God, the God who sent His son, Jesus, to die for the sins of the world. Obama does not believe that is true.

Do we really want a president that can't even be honest about his "faith"? He's trying to win over believers, so he can get elected. I just hope the believers are paying attention to his words at all times - not just when he's trying to sound religious.
