Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama believes that there is a new “awakening taking place in America” which does not emphasize salvation of the soul, but satiation of the flesh. He praised social service campaigns of Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes, and Catholic Charities for uniting to fight hunger and comfort the diseased, but did not include preaching the Gospel as a mission for this new world religion. Instead, Obama spoke of a new divine commission, or “simple truth,” bringing different religions together, and which he expressed in the simple phrase “we are all connected.”
It is a new starting point for church membership determined solely by being alive on planet earth. The new religious tenants would be those dictated by a union of church and state governments conscripting members into social services and environmental programs. There are also new religious liberties to be enjoyed in this new brotherhood of man, and they include, well, just about everything; and for which sins the state will give absolution in the form of abortion on demand, and medication for AIDS
There is no room for dissenters in the new religious landscape. Obama included the Southern Baptists with the Willow Creek, National Association of Evangelicals, and emergent church models already co-opted. Everyone else better join up soon: being accepted as “good stewards of God’s creations” leaves no room for “hate,” or disapproval of sin, in the heart of these new believers, and consequently no room Bible-believers anywhere else.
Obama is a well oiled, smooth politician who chooses his words carefully for their imagery power, and heavy connotative value. He is continuing to attack Bible-believing Christians who oppose him by characterizing them as terrorist hijackers, and divisive hate-mongers. Accurate reporting must lay bare these well-crafted implications and expose them for the explicit assertions and schemes that they are. Like all demagogues, Obama claims knowledge that “God is speaking,” but these overtures to unite the world in a secular state religion make it clear that the god who has Obama’s ear is the Anti-god making way for his son, the Antichrist.
