Before I get any further into this Devotional today,  

I’M SORRY WAS THERE A DEVOTIONAL GOING ON? 

sadly I have to stop and address something I have already been accused of just by announcing I would be dealing with Obama today.  Anyone who has ready my Devotionals knows that I am not in any way shape or form a racist.  You need to go my Devotional archives on the Liveprayer.com website and search for the Devotionals I have written on racism.  The fact is, half of the Board of my Ministry are African-American men.  Of the 2.4 million subscribers to the Daily Devotional, there are Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, people of every race in all parts of the world. 

In the first 3 years of my ministry when I preached in over 500 churches around the country, I mainly started out preaching in black churches in Chicago where I was based, through doors opened by the men on my Board.  One of my dearest friends is the legendary civil rights leader Dr. Clay Evans of Fellowship Baptist Church in Chicago.  Dr. Evans has always referred to me as his "white son."  He honored me by letting me preach his broadcast service from the "Ship" as it is known on several occasions, one of the only white preachers to have done so. 

IN FAIRNESS TO KELLER, I WILL NOT ASSUME HE IS A RACIST; HE IS TOO BUSY BEING A BIGOT AND A DEMAGOGUE. HE SEEMS TO SPREAD HIS HATE AROUND LIBERALLY, SO I WILL GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ON BEING RACIST. IT IS ALWAYS AMUSING TO WATCH SOMEONE DEFEND THEMSELVES OF NOT BEING RACIST BY POINTING OUT THAT THEY HAVE BLACK FRIENDS.  

What I am sharing about Obama today has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin.  It has everything to do with his stand on the spiritual issues of our day and the fact he takes stands in complete opposition to the Bible and God!  That is why a true follower of Christ can't support B. Hussein Obama. 

LET’S REALIZE THAT WHAT KELLER IS SAYING IS THAT ANYONE WHO TAKES A STAND IN OPPOSITION TO THE BIBLE AND GOD, ANY CHRISTIAN CANNOT VOTE FOR THEM. WELL, THAT ELIMINATES ALL POLITICIANS NOW DOESN’T IT? LETS LOOK AT THE MAN BILL KELLER IS ESSENTIALLY ENDORSING WITH THIS HIT PIECE ON OBAMA. JOHN MCCAIN DIVORCED HIS FIRST WIFE OF 14 YEARS AFTER SHE WAS IN A BAD CAR ACCIDENT, WHILE HE WAS COURTING HIS NEW WIFE TO BE, 17 YEARS HIS JUNIOR. GRANTED HE WAS VERY NICE TO HIS FIRST WIFE IN THE SETTLEMENT BUT HE WAS REMARRIED A MONTH AFTER THE INK WAS DRY ON HIS DIVORCE. HE ALSO ADMITTED TO MUTLIPLE AFFAIRS ON HIS FIRST WIFE. HMMM, THAT SOUNDS IN COMPLETE OPPOSITION TO THE BIBLE AND GOD! I GUESS ACCORDING TO THE FLAWED LOGIC OF BILL KELLER, NO CHRISTIAN CAN SUPPORT JOHN MCCAIN! I WILL NOT EVEN GET INTO MCCAIN’S INVOLVEMENT AS ONE OF THE KEATING FIVE WHICH LED TO THE SAVINGS AND LOAN DEBACLE OF THE LATE 1980S.   

You don't need to look any further than his stand on abortion.  Forget his weasel rhetoric.  The FACT is, B. Hussein Obama supports a woman's right to kill her baby.  Obama supports the legalized slaughter of babies.  There is really nothing more a true follower of Christ needs to know about this man. 

THAT’S IT BILL? REALLY??? IS THAT THE CHRISTIANITY YOU ESPOUSE. ONE ISSUE AND TURN YOUR BACK ON EVERYTHING ELSE?? THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHRISTIANITY TODAY. THERE IS MORE IN THIS WORLD THEN THE ABORTION ISSUE. I WILL SPEAK MORE ABOUT THIS IN THE CONCLUSION. 

But that is not all.  B. Hussein Obama also supports redefining God's Holy Institution of Marriage to include people who choose to engage in deviant sexual acts with others of the same sex.  How can a true follower of Christ support a man who wants to change God's definition of this most holy union of marriage? 

THIS IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A LIE. THIS IS NOT THE POSITION BARACK OBAMA HOLDS AT ALL. IN FACT, HERE IS AN EDITORIAL FROM THE GAY COMMUNITY AGAINST THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS ON THE RECORD AS SAYING THAT HE WOULD NOT SEEK TO REDEFINE MARRIAGE BECAUSE AS HE SEES IT, MARRIAGE HAS A RELIGIOUS CONNOTATION: 

http://www.washblade.com/2007/4-20/view/columns/10429.cfm 

AND HERE IS ANOTHER GAY EDITORIAL, WITH SOMETHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN’S STANCE ON GAY MARRIAGE AND HIS OPPOSITION TO A FEDERAL MANDATE AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE.

http://www.washblade.com/2008/2-29/view/columns/12143.cfm

OOPS BILL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR HATE BEFORE YOU SPEW IT. OBAMA HAS COME OUT IN FAVOR OF CIVIL UNIONS, WHICH IS THE SAME POSITION AS JOHN MCCAIN AND OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT, GEORGE BUSH. 

What is most troubling to me is that B. Hussein Obama claims to be a Christian.  Only God knows his heart, but Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey me," not live in rebellion to me.

Couple of points

First, sorry about the CAPS. I use them solely to differentiate between my comments and Bill Keller's. When i use !!! or ??? that is where i denote my disbelief or upset.

Secondly, sorry it is six pages long but this alleged devotional by Keller was 6 pages long and emailed to probably hundreds of thousands of people. It was important to respond paragraph by paragraph.

Thanks.

ScottMail carrier who drives the rest of my colleagues nuts with my politics.

For once, I agree

I don't support hardly any of Barack Obama's positions; however, I will always speak out against people who pull what Bill Keller is pulling here. This is a despicable smear. More to the point: I refuse to endorse the notion of somebody not being a true Christian simply because he is a liberal, or because he is a conservative, or anything else about someone's political policies. Few things frost me more than this.

Bill Keller AND His Devotional

Bill Keller, in Biblical terms, is a blasphemer. And in Christian circles, that "ain't" good. In fact, The New Testament (Dispensation,) blaspheming is an unforgivable sin, unlike abortion, and ... a sure "free pass to hell." So, in literal terms, you can asure Bill, that he's going to hell! Not bad for a devotional, I would say. A bit hot, ... maybe!

Thanks for notifying me about this. If I don't have it already, ... I'll get it.

The real point of this

is that we are a diverse group and, as such, there are extremists on both ends. Damn few believe this stuff, and even fewer of those actualy vote I'd surmise.

Reports of such as this will multiply as the campaign continues but exactly how many votes will be changed by tactics as these is quite probably very few indeed. Web sites like WorldNetDaily and Freerepublic.com are not exactly inhabited by open minded folks and their opinions and distortions should be ignored or, if they ever find their way into mainstream media,  challenged.

By reporting on crackpots and kooks one may set up his favored candidate as a martyr worthy of your sympathy vote. I'll pass on stuff like that and continue to vote based upon how closely the candidate mirrors my own vision for this nation.

well

You do that. i do what is right. If they had unfairly attacked McCain i would stand up for him. WND has already run this. That is the point. Now there is a place on the Net that people can easily link to debunk this tripe every time it comes up, gets published, or emailed.

Be well.

Thanks

I am so very, very tired of these hate mongers spewing their demands upon us all.  No, I do not 'tune in' to any of their broadcasts, nor do I receive any of their various mailings.  I just do not want to hear any of their lies.  All they are interested in is the amount of money their collect from their 'followers'.    I also have nothing against anyone who believes in whatever religion or non-religion that fits their needs.  What I am having a real problem with is the fact that we are supposed to believe that only a 'christian' (whatever that means) is okay to have in our government.  This has happened so insidiously in this country and it is scary as hell.  I don't care of someone worships a stone in the river, can this person be trusted to carry out protecting and honoring the Constitution of this country!  When did that become last on the list.

Our Current President?

Anthony:

Interesting article. It is hard to read all caps without feeling like someone is shouting at me, but I understand why you wrote this way. However, unfortunately, caps or not, Bill Clinton is not our current president as you stated on pg. 1. 

Best,

sensei

The articles reflect additional thoughts that expand on the author's ten volumes Genesis Begins the Millennia. The work begins in 1995 with a fictional account of ordinary Israelis absorbed with everyday events. There are extraordinary happenings the characters gradually recognize as portents of the Messianic Age. Volumes four and five show why the Messiah decided to delay His arrival.
Volumes six through ten [Tradebombers] begin six weeks before the 9/11 World Trade Center tragedy. Again,...

Fast Track to Hell

In my persuasion Bush, Keller and McCain would suffer a minimum million years in hell on torture, murder and genocide charges. Just for his Waco exploits Clinton could do similar time. The sentence for adultry is one year each count.

I am not sure if these punishments hold for Christians.

When I get to hell I'll send you a post on the subject.
