The First Lady Cites Jesus Christ As An Example

http://news.yahoo.com/michelle-obama...-politics.html

First lady Michelle Obama Thursday offered a rare public reflection on her religious faith, telling a conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church that the life of Jesus Christ is a model for democratic organizing.
"It's kind of like church," Obama said. "Our faith journey isn't just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal. It's about what we do Monday through Saturday as well, especially in those quiet moments, when the spotlight's not on us, and we're making those daily choices about how to live our lives.

Just another "Social Justice" diatribe. She's another government loving socialist that believes that Jesus was a socialist, that the story of "all things in common" in Acts is somehow an endorsement of communism, and that Jesus would be all for that kind of stuff.

She doesn't see where the Scriptures preach personal responsibility, keeping the government to it's God given duty, as a restrainer of evil, and that it's the job of the church to stand in the gap with benevolence, not some governmental entity.

She makes me almost as sick as her husband does.... I respect the office, and pray for it, but have very little tolerance for either of them.

When the Jews brought capitalism to the Temple, Jesus overturned their tables in anger.


Jesus didn't advocate communism or capitalism.

He advocated a mindset that whatever kind of economic system use, the Father is in control.


Your post just reads with complete disregard that Mrs. Obama is your sister in Christ.

Unless you are of the ilk that your only brothers and sisters in Christ are Apostolics.

Amazing that people will use bible for their agenda but state seperation of church and state when it doesn't fit their program. Like when bible used to try support entitlements or healthcare but when it come to gay marriage the bible them is unpopular.

Jesus issue in the temple wasn't against capitalism, it was against using the temple for personal gain, the commercialization of worship.

The Bible is more of a sponsor of TRUE Capitalism, which is person responsibility that it ever would be of Communism, which is governmental theft. The Bible teaches one should work, or one doesn't eat. That one who doesn't work for what they have is worse than an infidel.

And no, I don't believe that the Obama's are Christian... but not because they aren't Apostolic, but because their fruit doesn't witness being born again... I personally do not believe they are Christians.

But even if she is my sister in Christ, to call someone out on their deception, and misguided interpretation of Scripture to promote such horrible teachings as socialism and social justice is not disrespectful. Our yea should be yea, and our no should be no. Just because she's my "sister in Christ" doesn't mean she can't be called out on when she misrepresents the precious Word of God.

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the article that has anything to do with what you are talking about.


And are you around the Obama's enough to inspect their fruit?

What? Mrs. Obama's hair not long enough?

Re: The First Lady Cites Jesus Christ As An Exampl

Had a Republican cited Jesus Christ, by golly there would be all sorts of stories and off-the-beaten-path connections to this Apostolic minister in Kalamazoo or Natchez!

We would just "know" that they may not have all the truth, but they would still be a "Christian."

Puh-leeeeze!

Quote ascripture, say a prayer, and we'll stand by all your decisions to restrict our freedoms and go to war! After all, it's a scary world out there and the terrorists are coming back again!

We gotta get ready!

The Bible doesn't teach that one who doesn't work for what they have is worst than an infidel.

The Bible does teach us to look out for the poor, orphans, widows, elderly and the strangers that may sojourn in our land.

Get it right, Bro Robbins.
