The First Lady Cites Jesus Christ As An Example

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!

Nope, I don't see color. I only see deception. They believe in the same Jesus that Oprah does - a new age Deeprak Chopra packaged Jesus. I don't give a flying rip about her hair length or any of that other jazz, she's another mouthpiece of an agenda that wants all true Christians silenced. I'm against BO because of his stand for abortion - especially late term abortion. I think the man has done SOME good, and as another brother said I pray for the OFFICE. However, his agenda and mine are not the same.

I am a white indy voter and I was against us being in Iraq. Afghanistan, I saw provocation.

Personally I wish Colin Powell would have run since Huckabee didn't.

What is the purpose, or good of the kingdom that would come of further arguing between me and my brother? He stated his viewpoint and I stated mine. Neither of us are going to change our minds... so why continue? That certainly can't bring about any glory for the Kingdom of God...

As a matter of fact, as he continued, he had to resort to making a character attack on me, instead of keeping it to the matters at hand....

So if you see where someone says, this will not benefit the kingdom and has the potential of hurting both of our witnesses as cowardly, go right ahead. I and God know my heart and my intent.

Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace

No I think it's cowardly to hit and run. You did not agree to disagree without first sharing your opinion quite forcefully... and then offering 'agree to disagree' in a way that if someone counters they look as if they are not only bullying you personally but also causing disunity in the kingdom. Holding yourself out as the peacekeeper after you have started a war is what is cowardly.

If you just want harmony in the Kingdom do not participate in debate threads but just 'agree to disagree' up front with all those you don't agree with... Otherwise once you throw down the gauntlet, or give the glove slap be prepared to see it through until the other party feels that they have fully explained their position... Anything less is manipulative and passive aggressive.... and yes, cowardly.

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.

nice...I missed the part where Jesus forced higher taxes on some and threw people in jail for not having health insurance

You mean like the wars we are still fighting under Obama? Don't forget we bombed Libya and under Clinton we bombed Serbia and Iraq.

Oh and freedom? It's now ILLEGAL to not own insurance thanks to Obama add to that the largest jump in nation debt!

Obama is bombing people in Pakistan. In the Arab gulf states. Yeah, his hands are clean (sarcasm)

How dare you speak against messiah.

An uncomfortable truth for us is that Jesus is an apolitical communist,
although he word "commie" is so politically charged--quite on purpose, surely-as to be effectively meaningless for us. I am my brother's keeper, in this sense.

Another uncomfortable truth is that if you believe and invest in
an earthly system of government, you are not following Christ,
and your prayers will not be heard. 1 Sam 8

[bbyrd009]

Ok, maybe a more accurate way to put it
would be that when you cry for relief from your Gov,
your prayers will not be heard.

Although if past history obtains,
that should be enough truth to kill this thread anyway.
