Jesus and Witches

Ob ama did NOT swear in to Congress on the Koran, that was Rep. Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Barack Hussein Obama is actually the name of an American citizen, so I guess that makes his name an American name. His message is about tolerance, peace, unity and hope for the future. Hmm, who does that sound like? It sounds to me like a devout Christian, who was raised Christian and just happens to be worldly and intelligent enough to be tolerant and respectful of other beliefs.

Dear writer ,
Your personal bias makes you look like the worst writer in the world. You lose credibility right away in any thing you say by showing your hatred and lack of knowledge about Documented History . Dont think the bible is credible ? Thats ok there is plenty of extra biblical transcripts out there backing up the bibles history. You seriously need to give up writing, until you can learn to stay neutral.

If you are going to write an article at least do some research about your subject and try to do a better job of keeping you obvious bias out of the manuscript. The quote from the sermon about a chosen generation ans a royal priesthood is not from the pastor it is from scripture, something the author of this article knows little or nothing about. Pitiful, this is simply pitiful.

I for one certainly appreciate Sarah Palin's strong faith and her determination that her foundation of faith will not be shaken by anyone. We need more people to have this kind of faith. And by the way according to Bibical prophesy we are living in the end times. Our country was built on trust in God...what in the world has happened?????

This story reminded me of a particularly disturbing quote from Palin during her interview with Charles Gibson.

Gibson: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn't we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?

Palin: Perhaps so. I mean this is the agreement when you are a NATO ally...

The thing about this is that no other politician would answer such a hypothetical in this way, talking about going to war with Russia without qualification (she later did add some, but not even Reagan at the height of the Evil Empire days would have uttered this sentence).

I at first thought this "merely" indicated that she was unaware of the implications of going to war with Russia. There is a reason that the Cold War remained cold all the way up to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and that we only fought the Soviets through proxies during that entire time. The reason of course is that Russia had, and still possesses, thousands of nuclear warheads mounted on ICBMs and submarine launched ballistic and cruise missiles. Enough to destroy not only the United States, but the entire world several times over.

Now I'm wondering if the reason is that she just doesn't care all that much is this - her religion has removed her fear of nuclear war. It certainly has removed her fear of humans damaging the environment - she obviously believes God will take care of any little problems caused by puny humans.

There is a much higher than comfortable chance that if McCain is elected that she will replace him as President before his term is over. And there's a possibility that she could find herself in just the kind of crisis that Gibson talks about, with her hand on the button. There would doubtless be some advisers surrounding her at that moment screaming for her to push it. The thought that her reasoning at that point, unleavened by any foreign policy expertise whatsoever, could be influenced by a religious fantasy about the "End Days" should scare the daylights out of any rational person. Yes, we have a Duke professor here saying that all this mumbo jumbo is just status quo for Alaska, but that assumes these people do not really believe what they say. I'd rather take their word for it. Yes, they're not all stocking up on ammo (although some are), but none of them actually have the power to usher in the apocalypse - Palin would.

We actually could be looking at the possibility, to date examined mostly in cheesy made for tv movies, that the only planet with intelligent life for thousands of light years could be turned into a radioactive wasteland due to a crazy myth based on a sloppy interpretation of the Book of Revelation.

And the media are still obsessing about Palin's wardrobe?

The Bible tells us that there are demons on here trying to negatively influence us. Almost every time Jesus healed in the Bible he "Cast off demons and healed the sick". He then sent His followers out to do greater works than He did. Witchcraft falls under the heading of "demons" and there is nothing wierd about casting off demonic influence from a person.

Having a set of core values and morals that start with a belief in a Supreme Being or God is a good thing. Why does the media think this is a bad thing? Why do they continually try to "out" people of faith. Belief in witches, what do they mean by that statement? That someone might believe that "witches" can cure some people, that there is "white magic" or "black magic" in the world? Probably most people would acknowledge that there are forces of good and evil in the world. Unless a candidate for public office professes the desire to convert other people to their religious beliefs with the use of their public power, their beliefs are a private matter and should not be under scrutiny by the media. Her policies as a public servant and what she has stood for as a public servant should be all that we need to know about how she would govern as Vice President. If there are issues that she has supported that the media wants to expose and discuss that is what we should be getting in the news from the media.

I am amazed at stories like this saying that extreme people believe in God and end times. I guess if you believe in God and his word, the bible, you are extreme according to articles like this. I believe in God and his word and I also believe that every day we are a day closer to the return of Jesus. I don't know if it will be in my lifetime or many generations from now or tomorrow, but it is coming. I hadn't thourht about it, but Alaska would be a good place to be if you are left behind.

You guys are village idiots. With all the important things going on in this election you stoop to trash. Wake up, this is a very important election.

I agree with Singer82, the liberal media has so slanted this race that one might begin to believe that Obama is the next messiah for America. I have a suggestion, why don' t you all take some time and research, with an open mind, the possibility that there is something to the faith of McCain and Palin. I believe that the liberal media is afraid to even consider that there is truth in Christianity because then they would be held accountible for their actions. There would actually be moral absolutes instead of this 'wishy-washy' gray state in which they now live. Report the absolute truth, not just your version of it.

It is a shame and a disgrace that America forces a public official or political candidate to have to choose to attend a more watered down church environment just to make it in the public arena. When will Americans realize that we can have nothing, can do nothing, and can be nothing of eternal significance without faith in God? It is obvious that the writers of this article do not know anything about the Bible, God or prayer; hence their use of the words "he offers this cryptic blessing: in the name of Jesus." "In the name of Jesus"is the way God has designed for believers to get anything from Him in prayer. Jesus said "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." What was going on that day with Gov. Palin was right in the sight of God, and understood and accepted as right by all who believe the scriptures. Americans who do not believe, adhere to, and trust in God and the Bible are the ones who are causing the problems. When our forefathers wrote into the Constitution that there should be a separation of church and state, it meant that they did not want state telling the church what and how to believe, not that the church should never have anything to say about what the state was doing. Again I say that it is a shame how far America has moved from God and the Bible. Remember, it is America that has moved, not God.

this is obviously dubbed....so unless the preacher was speaking a different language and needed to be translated, the voice over is a complete farse....YOU CAN HERE HIM SPEAKING IN THE BACKGROUND.......check your resources, Newsweek, before you lose what little credibility you still have...
