Intro

The United States Senator from Illinois, Senator Barack Obama, is one of the Democratic Party's bright shining lights. He is looked upon by many luminaries in the Democratic Party as “presidential material.” He is, however, looked upon by God as one who is spreading a false “gospel.”

This false gospel is so insidious and sounds so real that the apostle Paul described it in this way: “ But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different Gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough .” 2 Corinthians 11:3-4.

Paul was confronting the charlatan's of his day and warning the saints to oppose them – not tolerate them. Obama's message is not to be tolerated, but strongly refuted by Christians who know the real Christ. Dr. Al Moehler did a pretty good job taking this false prophet on. You and I would be wise to do the same.

Let us not be numbered among those timid souls who, “put up with it easily enough.!

Senator Asks Evangelicals To Assimilate

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, considered a possible Democratic nominee for president in 2008, told left-leaning religious leaders at the Call to Renewal's "Building a Covenant for a New America" conference June 28 that in order to sort through some of the "bitter arguments" about religion in America today, evangelicals need to water down their views to fit in better with the rest of society.

"Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values," Obama said at the event in Washington. "It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God's will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.

"Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do," he added. "But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice."

R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., said Obama demands the impossible.

"Sen. Obama seems to believe in the myth of a universal reason and rationality that will be compelling to all persons of all faiths, including those of no faith at all," Mohler wrote on his weblog June 30. "Such principles do not exist in any specific form usable for the making of public policy on, for example, matters of life and death like abortion and human embryo research.

"This is secularism with a smile -- offered in the form of an invitation for believers to show up, but then only to be allowed to make arguments that are not based in their deepest beliefs," Mohler wrote.
