More from the Barack “Most- Radical- Serious-Candidate-to-Ever- Run- For- President” Obama:
“I don’t think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state,” said Obama. “If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.” St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans condemns homosexual acts as unnatural and sinful.
The Christian News Service commentary speaks for itself: “The Sermon, recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, includes the Lord’s Prayer, the Beatitudes, an endorsement of scriptural moral commandments (‘anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven’), and condemnations of murder, divorce and adultery. It also includes a warning: ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.'”
Its one thing to have an anti-Christian political agenda. It’s quite another the use Jesus Christ as your authority.

Oh yeah it’s the old “I like this part of the Bible but don’t like this part so much” excuse.

You know, this reminds me of the 40 days in the desert where Satan tempted Jesus. If even Satan can twist Scripture to suggest something it doesn’t mean, I must fail to be surprised when a politician does so. Silly boy, it didn’t work for Satan either.

What Obama also told an audience was he supports kiddie literature like
” King and King”–stories for 6 year olds–these are homosexually revised
fairy tales (I know, I know!) like Cinderella where the prince marries another prince–for 6 year olds!
The news media does not cover that part of his comments.

Using Jesus Christ as an authority? How so?
Jesus said nothing, not one word, about homosexuals. For those of you who insist that this does not matter, that the Bible is somehow clear elsewhere about the evilness of homosexuality, here are some questions.
Why didn’t Jesus say that He was abolishing all the rules in the Old Testament EXCEPT the rule against homosexual intercourse?
Why didn’t He distinguish between His forgiving the woman brought to him in adultery ( ‘Let him who is without sin cast the first stone’ ) and His wanting to continue to hold homosexuality against people?
Why didn’t He say anything about how homosexual marriage would defile the sanctity of the relationship of man and woman?
Why didn’t He say anything?
Did He just keep forgetting to mention it?
If homosexuality truly is a sin worthy of eternal damnation, as some believe it is, then why didn’t Jesus discuss it? He certainly preached at length concerning every other sin listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and Timothy 1:9-10. Why would He leave this one out?
