"Obama contends belief in
Jesus Christ not necessary for salvation"
And the list goes on and on and on. How
has Obama gotten this far? I am wondering if he is part of God's
judgment on our nation. I am afraid he is!!!

Obama contends belief in Jesus Christ not necessary for
salvation

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senator Barack Obama has told an audience
that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that
teaching can also be children of God.
During a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North
Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he "can have
everlasting life" because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told
a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are
just as much "children of God" as he is. (listen to audio clip)
The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn't
share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he's "sure she's
in heaven." (listen to audio clip)
In his life and in his politics, Obama said he asks himself,
"How can I apply Jesus's teachings in a very concrete way?"
Obama's religious beliefs have been put in the spotlight
over recent revelations about his former pastor. Videotapes of some of
Pastor Jeremiah Wright's sermons have been described as being racist and
anti-America.
Yesterday, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination
for president referred to those sermon remarks as being "stupid," but he
continues to reject suggestions that he should have left the church because
of that kind of preaching from his pastor.
