Many of you will read this post everyday (because I will post everyday I can post it) until Barak chooses a Christian running mate or he answers the questions: What has God told him about running for President and why did he allow others to puff him up to speak bad about a man of God?
Why African-Americans should not vote for Barak Obama. Pt 1 Someone asked me, a Christian black ex-sinner (a man who messed up in his youth), why aren’t you voting for Barak Obama? I simply told them that I didn’t believe in the man. They said, are you voting Republican then? I told them, I just might if Hillary Clinton doesn’t somehow get on board with him. Wow, they said! I told them, it came down to two things for me. The first one: Barak Obama reminds me too much of the Barak in Judges Chapter 4, a man who history gave the credit for winning a battle but a man who didn’t get the credit by God. By this I mean that Barak never wanted to run in the first place for the President of the United States of America, he heard about Hillary Clinton beginning to ponder on entering the race and he was convinced by those around him to enter into the race. A man that does not have God as his central guide should not be given a place of power. Every man, because that who the Presidents were, relied on God, the Word of God to guide this country. I believe the Bible is clear in Judges Chapter 4: in the absence of a qualified man, a qualified woman immediately must take the reigns; don’t elect an unqualified man into power because its just trouble. The second thing that I said was, having a President who fears God is the most important thing to me in times like these. In this country we pride ourselves on religious tolerance, Christians accept non-Christians in this country because they wrote it in the Constitution of the United States; however, they wrote it in the Constitution because they knew that it took the power of God to accept others in their country. Let us take a lesson ahead of the election from 1st Samuel 8, the children of Israel set the path to their nation’s destruction by voting a man into power that possessed some great stature. They didn’t know he would be all about the power and bring them to a point of almost destruction. They thought he would rally them all together to fight their enemies. This man, Saul, was later found not to even respect the Word of God or the prophet of God. Why African-Americans should not vote for Barak Obama. pt 2 And although this very prophet had guided him spiritually through many problems in his elected life, a man that all people knew was anointed by God, Samuel the prophet, this man shrugged his noise up at him and did the opposite of what he said, what God said. Matthew 10: 40-41 in the New International Version of the Bible states it best: He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. What’s the flip side of this? In all that we know in this country about the plight (trouble) of children of Israel, how can we inter-mix other religious ideas into our government now? Is Barak even going to church? Who will give Barak Obama the Word of God now, now that he has publicly shamed his own pastor? Will even our legendary Bill Graham be able to talk to him about the Word? Someone ask Pastor Graham what he thinks? Remember, if you are not getting the Word of God you are getting the word of human and the word of … That’s my answer to you and to you that read these words. She’s been down and she’s been up but she has never forgotten God even when she sinned or had trouble in her life. We all fall short but we never talk about the Lord’s person when they are doing the Lord’s work. In the Old Testament many prophets and priest spoke out about the country, condemning it badly. Barak should of never spoke about Pastor Wright. He should of let the Lord our God deal with him if he is saying something wrong: Please read the difference in dealing with Pastors in Numbers 12, 22, and 20:11 – 13 & Deuteronomy 32: 48-52.Barak this is for you: Proverbs 1:1-7 Why African-Americans should not vote for Barak Obama. pt 3 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: 2 for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; 3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; 4 for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young- 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance- 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.And Barak this what you have portrayed to our youth For the sake of Martin Luther King, don’t elect Barak Obama the next President of the United States of America. African-Americans from the time of slavery have relied on God (when they accepted God) to get through their struggles. I believe Barak Obama thumbs his noise up at everything our ancestors struggled for in this life. How many Ministers, Pastors, and ordinary Christians prayed for better days to come and how many times over did God answer their prayers. It might have taken centuries to come to those days but he heard their cries and brought them into a better time like the children of Israel getting let into the land of milk and honey. If we elect Barak Obama as our next President, the dream of Martin Luther has not been accomplished because he never had a dream of destroying our faith to make that dream become a reality. I believe he never would of wanted the African-American people to see an African-American person rise to the top by separating himself from the very thing that caused him achieve equality, God. To me Barak Obama has set the stage for all to see: An African-American man may reach the top by denouncing God. Why African-Americans should not vote for Barak Obama. pt4 If Obama is elected, many African-American women and men (especially the young black men who are going through a hard times now) will begin to believe that denouncing the very people that prayed for our doors to be open on equality can be disregarded because we have entered into a new era in our society. I say to you, “say no to Obama, yes to Clinton or its McCain” because such great a model of rejection cannot and should not be tolerated in African-American community or by the Christian people of the world. How a Christian person (I underscore Christian person) should vote is by the Word of God. I use nothing but the Word of God to back up my points. I understand Pastors make mistakes but I leave it up to God to correct them. I state my concerns to them and leave it at that. If I feel the spirit of God saying this church is not right for you I seek God to find another church that is right for me, it’s called growth. Some Pastors preach simple messages while other preach conceptual messages. We must all look inside of ourselves 2see if the person who we are voting for represents God ¬ human beings. God must approve of this man but what he has shown(read the scriptures in my other post) I don’t think he is right. A simple post will not due! A post with some spiritual insight must be given! And not just rhetoric! Here a scripture: 1 Chronicles 28:2 King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it. But God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’ Barak Obama is a great man but because he allowed the people to puff him up &say bad things about the pastor nationally I believe Christian (I underscore Christian) people should not vote for him; anyone else may vote for him because they use a different standard. Christian’s are to use the Word of God as their standard. In 1 Chronicles 28:2 Why African-Americans should not vote for Barak Obama. pt5
David had reached the pentacle of greatness but he could not do what he wanted too. How much more of a man who publicly condemns a man of God! I forgive Barak as Christ said we should forgive those who have offended us but that doesn’t mean that he becomes Christian/A.A. model’s to get to the top. God forgave David but he could not go on to build the very thing he wanted the most, the temple of God. All I ask is that we don’t vote for him until we here what God has told him.
The constitution of the U.S. allows me to speak on this site:Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/91.Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.The Lord wants us to reason with him so why don’t we reason with each other and not judge:
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you care to post a rebuttal, please place some scriptures on the blog to back up your comments. I mention: Judges Chapter 4; 1st Samuel 8; Matthew 10: 40-41; Numbers 12, 22, and 20:11 – 13; Deuteronomy 32: 48-52; Proverbs 1:1-7; 1 Chronicles 28:2; Isaiah 1:18. Christians are to vote using the wisdom of God. And as you read the other blogs see how many people don’t use the Word of God to back up their point, they only use their own thoughts. I, myself, won’t vote for a man just because he is the same skin color; I’m worried about his spiritual color: devilish red or savior white.—-I want the spiritual truth Barak,Lorenzo

Oh, well. Here’s hoping your Mother will allow you to live in her basement and play your video games…until you reach Social Security age!

make the best choice… as he has done so much exactly right… he is a statesman, we can trust him… Christian or non-Christian has no place in the modern world - it’s un-Christian to claim this WE HAVE GOD ON OUR SIDE…
we’d be just as fervent in a different religion if we’d been born in the Middle East or in Asia…
and i say this as a devoted Roman Catholic… i don’t believe God insists on these divisions - we are ALL his children - and if we aspire to Christian principles in our government - simple stuff like the Golden Rule - that’d be great…
barack obama is a more distinguished man than any of us - he knows what to do better than we should presume to tell him…

Take your anger some where else and stop making a nuisance of yourself. Ask God to help you to change your dirty ways.

What does the Constitution have to do with internet websites and Terms of Service?
Perhaps some one told you that Senator Obama was a new blog service…
BLOGGER, LIVE JOURNAL, WORD PRESS???
Who ever told you that is wrong.
Senator Obama made blogs available for his supporters to chronicle their campaign journey.
Every post on a personal blog goes on the community page. They are MEMBER POSTS. Anyone that does not make a donation does not belong using Senator Obama’s blogs for their own purpose.
Blog posts can only be posted once. Next time I see you wasting our space, I will report you to the administration for violating the TOS of this site.
When you said yes to the TOS you signed a legally binding contract. You will have to take your Constitutional right to the Supreme Court…
…and perhaps close down the internet like the gov is trying to do…
…because of fools and arses like you.
