Comments on: Obama is the man! http://ancienttruthmodernsound.com/obama-is-the-man Frank thoughts on our times from the view of the Gospel. Sun, 20 May 2012 13:25:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: William Matthews http://ancienttruthmodernsound.com/obama-is-the-man#comment-138 William Matthews Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:40:56 +0000 http://ancienttruthmodernsound.com/obama-is-the-man#comment-138 If we would have ended up with Rudy and Obama as our candidates for President what would the right to lifers do then ? This would have been a very very sad day for this country. Bill Woolsey has more experience running a business than any one candidate running for the office of President. I have never seen a more pathetic choice for President in my lifetime. I thought the last couple of elections were really bad but this round really takes the cake. Clinton, Obama & McCain could not run Crosspoint Church with its 1 million plus dollars in revenue yet we are going to vote one of these people in for President to run a multi trillion dollar economy. One thing Obama has proven in his efforts is that America is sick & tired of the same old stuff. That is why he is doing so well. Clinton & McCain ARE THE SAME OLD STUFF.........

I have to say that so far in life I have never been swayed by good looking black men. I am much more swayed by feisty, beautiful, Scottish women. But that is just my weakness I suppose. The problem with you one issue folks is that in a real democracy (or a real church) there is a lot of messiness that is just not what you want. I think Paul's advice was to be content in every circumstance. That seems like practical advice. By all means vote against Obama but at least respect that he has tried to lift the political process above cynicism. Well, an interesting response from Karen.

The sensation is not because of his message - it is because he is 1. good looking, 2. black ( even though he is as white as he is black), 3. good looking. When people, especially those under 30, are asked about his record or his views they are unable to come up with anything. Judging by your comments you too have been swayed by the superficial fluff. Stick that message in Al Sharptons body and no-one would give him a second glance.

God gave us plenty of principles in His word to build upon. But, our culture has placed the abortion issue in the center of our elections. How can I in good conscience cast MY vote for someone who stands up and shouts ANTICHRIST with smiles and pride? I can't. I'm not saying that I have to find a religious leader to vote for as a civil leader. And, if this were not a republic, then I would have to deal with the ruler that God put over me. Since it is a republic, I believe I have to try to find a leader who is actually representative of who I am in Christ. I know ... good luck.

I can’t.

The choice is the queen of cynicism vs. someone who at least has hope in their vocabulary. For me it is a no brainer. I dont think though it is coronation march for the democrats. I think that McCain will be a more formidable opponent than he is given credit for. At the same time I do not think Obama will be able to govern as he has campaigned. Just cant be done. I am glad I dont vote (cant, not a citizen yet). Plus, I dont think being a one issue guy is really possible in practice. On top of that, the reason why Luther and others spent a lot of time thinking about the division of church and state as that they were painfully aware that they couldnt trust a ruler of the secular kingdom to make the right decisions on many things like, in our day, the protection of the unborn.

Fine. But, not for president. Not if I can help it. You say, "Christianity is not a religion that exists in the emotions it exists in the actions we take towards each other and towards our neighbor." Agreed. And Obama seems to be all about emotions (rather than solutions) while his political "actions" toward his unborn neighbors are anything but Christian.
