Who Is Senator Barak Obama And What Does He Believe?

December 14, 2006 -- Senator Barak Obama (D-IL) has only been a U.S. Senator for two years but he is being promoted in the media as the Democrat’s best hope for winning the White House in 2008.

Sen. Obama recently traveled to New Hampshire, where he was warmly welcomed by Democrat supporters. In November, Obama gave a keynote speech on AIDS at Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Southern California.

Sen. Obama speaks as a man of faith. He attends Trinity United Church of Christ (UCC) church in Chicago, which describes itself as a church that disavows “the pursuit of middleclassness,” and pledges allegiance to “all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.

Trinity has a “non-negotiable commitment to Africa; and is a congregation “committed to the historical education of African people in diaspora; it is committed to liberation, restoration, and economic parity.

At the UCC General Synod in 2005, the denomination adopted a resolution calling for “equal marriage rights for all” – regardless of gender. This includes homosexuals and transgendered individuals.

Sen. Obama’s church background is clearly liberal and pro-homosexual.

His voting record shows him to be a typical secularist liberal. Human Events notes that Obama has a 100% rating from Americans for Democratic Action, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Organization for Women, the NAACP and the National Education Association.

He says he believes that marriage should be a union of one man and one woman, but voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006.

While an Illinois state senator, Obama voted “present” on a bill that would keep pornographic books and video stores 1,000 feet away from schools and churches. In 1999, he voted against a requirement to make schools filter internet pornography from school computers.

As a state senator he also voted “present” twice on a bill that would ban partial-birth abortion and was absent on a third vote. In 2001, he voted “present” on a parental notification bill and in 2002 he voted against a bill to protect babies that survived failed abortions.

“Senator Obama is a very charming person and he may likely become the Democrat’s presidential candidate in 2008,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. “But I hope that Christians will pay attention to his actions and his voting record—not his words—in deciding whether or not to support him in 2008. He has a voting record as far left as John Kerry or Ted Kennedy and his support of abortion and homosexuality make him an anti-life, anti-traditional marriage candidate.”

In other words, he is NO CHRISTIAN - He is just another liberal who uses the church to whitewash is evil record. the United Church of Christ was a Christian church at one time before they sold their soul. Now they are just another liberal cult that has watered down their doctrine with worldliness. They reject the basic doctrines of the faith & worship a baby killing, anti-Israel, pro-homosexual god (AKA Satan).

United Church of Christ Statement of Faith

(Notice that in their statement, Jesus is just a man & not God. They reject the Christian Trinity. Notice there is no statement about the Bible as the Word of God - they believe the Bible is just a man made book - no wonder since they are pro-baby killing, anti-Israel & pro-homosexual, three beliefs that are 180 degrees against what the Bible says)

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:

God calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.

God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.

God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.

God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion and victory.

God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.

Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God.

Amen.
