There are many who have the spirit of the antichrist (1 John 4:3), and these I often refer to as *an* antichrist. Maybe it would be more technical correct to call his a spirit of the antichrist. And did you forget Jesus' admonition in Mark 13:6? I do not at the moment go so far as to call Obama *the* anti-christ, as Mike does for instance. (I frankly expected *the* antichrist to be more competent.) But I find his alleged "Christian faith" to be rooted in shallow political expediency and his gospel firmly anti-christian, like most of his moderate-sounding but nonetheless radical views, a conclusion I come to sadly but not for lack of a preponderance of evidence encompassing his entire life story, what we know of it. You cannot accuse me of not doing my homework on this guy. His is not a gospel of repentance and lordship of Jesus, but a social gospel of rich-vs.-poor based on "liberation theology" whose roots are demonstrably Marxist, which is demonstrably (and violently) anti- Christian. > As for cult-of-personality...

It's all about "him," a man, not Jesus. This is the spirit of the antichrist. Henrietta Huges asked HIM, not God, to help her. He cultivates a messianic image. He accepts glory when it's given to him and never once (and I listen for this!) gives any glory to God for anything. He sways large numbers of people, who feint at his feet, and whose ears (not to mention legs) are tickled by his message. "Yes We Can!" is the anti-christ's gospel. We don't need God. We don't need to fix ourselves, we're not the problem. God's unfair law is the problem. We just need to vote for XYZ leaders and accept all the legislative initiatives of our glorious president, and get the world to love us, and all will be well. "Be ye not conformed to this world" is the opposite of what the Obama preaches now. > Its called being popular. It could also be that he is Esther - 'a > person born for such a time as this'. Friend, I pray you are right. I see something else going on, and marvel that you don't see it, too. So I hope I'm wrong, and you are right. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
