First of all... this article from yesterday's WashingtonPost is truly, strangely odd in the fact that in "describing Obama's 'journey' of faith" there is not a single mention of the man whose teaching he sat under for over 20 years - Jeremiah Wright. Noticeably - deficiently - odd!

Secondarily I am sick of the "stop calling a Mooslim, I'm not a Mooslim" component to his discussion of faith. Nobody I've spoken to in the last six months thinks he is one and this canard is getting tired. (If he was for example he could be punished for  shaving his facial hair, and his wife could be stoned for donning her bathing suit when they are on vacation in the Bahamas.)

Third... He is picking up cues as to what he's "supposed to say" around "evangelicals." I'm starting to believe that his behind closed doors meet-up with Franklin Graham and others a week or so ago could have been as beneficial as it was uncomfortable. It certainly appears that he is beginning to fine tune (in other words completely overhaul/change) the language of his conversion to Christianity story.

"In my own life, " he said, "it's been a journey that began decades ago on the South Side of Chicago, when, working as a community organizer, helping to build struggling neighborhoods, I let Jesus Christ into my life. I learned that my sins could be redeemed and that if I placed my trust in Christ, that he could set me on the path to eternal life when I submitted myself to his will and I dedicated myself to discovering his truth and carrying out his works."

He has added the "letting Jesus Christ into my life" part of the story... which was noticeably absent previously. He's also added the "place my trust" phraseology... and for good measure the "discovering his truth and carrying out his works."

Theologians will note properly that one does not "let" Jesus into your life. At least not the way he describes it - like letting the dog in at night after its done it's business. It is God who PURSUES you, convicts you, and ultimately saves you.

The other question I still have - as every real Christian also does (and yes I'm implying you're not a real believer otherwise) is how Obama measures the fruit of his actions, votes, decisions - against his proclaimed goal of "discovering his truth, and carrying out his works?"

You know the works like re-engineering society to be formed on whatever unholy sexual unions the depraved brain can come up with. You know works - as it must say in scripture somewhere - that when a child is born, you force it to starve until it dies - as the "compassionate hope changer" Obama has voted for.

Those kinds of works? Compatible with faith?

Yes - the slick tongued Obama is learning the lingo, but you judge a man not by his words alone - but by the actions he carries out. And Obama's idea of "His" works - thus far don't seem to come close to measuring up to the text of His word!
