Barack Obama: Actions More Like Christ?...........

Barack Obama: Actions More like Rev. Wright or More Like Christ?

"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight oh Lord my God and my Redeemer. I attend church on a regular basis, but notice that I didn't ask for the acceptance of my preacher or any preacher anywhere. The preacher may be the spiritual leader of my church congregation, but Christ is the Head of the Christian Church. Living the life of a Christian is an individual choice. I think the words of a popular Christian song says it best, "though no one go with me, I still will follow".

As I was watching Anderson Cooper on CNN tonight, I was struck by a comment that guest Tony Perkins made when he said that "[he didn't see how Barack Obama could attend church sermons preached by Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright and not be adversely influenced by them]". Well Tony, the answer is "easily." God gives each of us a discerning spirit and a Bible to research and verify that what the preacher says is actually the Word of God. Everything the preacher says is not taken at face value. And Tony as a professed Christian, I'm sure that you are familiar with the Biblical command to "study to show yourself approved."

I guess a better question is "How could he attend a church for 20 years and be a close friend and have a pastor as an advisor when he is "pained and angered" by the pastors comments.

Is there only 1 church in Chicago?

Truly the answer is WHY would he continue to attend a Church when he doesnt believe in the tenet's of the preacher.

IMO he does agree with Rev. Jereniah Wright, but he is smart enough to know he cannot agree in public without showing his true racism.
