Personal note:
Soon I will leave this subject regarding President Obama at Notre Dame. However,
there are just so many serious implications surrounding Mr. Obama's manipulation
of words and people. It is important that we cut through the difference between
smooth talking and truth.
This short article does helps us look at this vast divide so easily concealed
by President Obama's rhetoric and rare political ability to convince and massage
the publics eyes, ears and minds.
=================
South Bend, IN - President Barack Obama delivered a speech [Sunday] during
the Notre Dame Graduation commencement ceremony that was rife with heretical
views of Christianity.
"It is obvious from Obama's speech that matters pertaining to religion
and moral issues are still above his pay grade," said Operation Rescue
President Troy Newman. "As an ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church
in America, I can say with conviction that Obama holds apostate views on the
role of Christianity in the world and the moral issues that spring from those
teachings such as, abortion, stem cell research, and other matters."
Obama told the 2009 graduating class of Notre Dame that of the problems facing
the world today, "no one person, or religion, or nation can meet these
challenges alone."
This statement is in direct contradiction to orthodox Christianity which
teaches that Christians are the "light on the hilltop" that illuminates
society with the wisdom of God, apart which there can be no answers to the
world's problems.
Obama urged those who disagree on abortion to "work together to reduce
the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies,
and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women
who do carry their child to term."
Yet, Obama's policies of providing tax-funding for abortion here in this
nation and abroad only work to encourage and increase abortion. In fact, the
ones who are currently working to do the things recommended by Obama are almost
exclusively Christian pro-life groups.
Obama further stated, "Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree
with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause..." But Obama has
threatened to eliminate the conscience clause that would allow doctors and
hospitals to refuse to commit abortions based on religious convictions.
Obama referred to "Open Hearts. Open minds. Fair-minded words."
"Obama would have Americans open their hearts and minds to the shedding
of innocent blood, and would cloak the slaughter of innocent children in 'fair-minded'
words," said Newman. "Yet the Bible teaches us that we should rescue
those who are being led to the slaughter and give practical assistance to
those who are in need. Obama attempts to deceive the people into thinking
that we should, for the sake of unity, turn a blind eye to greater evil of
abortion to focus on social programs that do not solve the root problem of
decriminalized child-killing in our nation."
"If there was one phrase to describe Obama's presentation at Notre Dame
it would be 'apostate hypocrisy,'" said Newman. "Obama should refrain
from making comments on religious and moral matters and should confine his
remarks to subjects with which he has more familiarity."
