National day of Prayer by Pres Obama

I turned on the TV this morning for my usual exercise routine (I watch the news while exercising) and there was Obama talking at the National day of Prayer breakfast. I decided to listen. The more I listened the more I realized that he was using the Bible, specifically Jesus' sayings, to justify his political issues of raising taxes. I had just listened to Ronald Reagan talking about his faith in God several days earlier and I was moved that he believed that there was a God. Obama never once expressed his feelings about God and I was definately not moved. Obama wants us to have faith in ourselves and rely each other. The one scripture that came to my mind was "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm," Are we not supposed to have faith in Jesus? Not once did he say to pray to God or rely on Jesus. Obama was using scriptures to make us feel guilty to pay taxes because "We are our brothers keeper and we need to rely on each other to help one another." It is interesting to also note that he lumped Islam and Jews along with all the Bible verses of Jesus. The thing is - Nether of them have those scriptures so why should they listen to what Jesus says. It sounds like he is only trying to make us Christains feel guiltly because he knows we love Jesus and would follow him. Jesus did say to beware of Wolves in Sheeps clothing.

As I was reading what others said here are some great writings other people said:

"Earth to Obama: Jesus came to change the hearts of individuals, NOT FORM A GOVERNMENT. Paying taxes IS NOT THE SAME as charity!" by Th3oph1lus

"1. Jesus only asked for 10% in tithing to care for the poor. Obama, you are already taking around 30% and most of that is not going to the poor, but to those who are refusing to care for themselves.

2. Obama you are not asking for more money for the poor, you are asking for more money to waste on projects that are not constitutional and trying to transform this country...

3. Jesus did not put the government in charge of caring for the poor. You are not only doing it wrong, you are not effective. More money has been spent on welfare than ever in history, and we have more broken families, more immorality, more moochers, and more godless people than ever. Do not invoke the Lord’s name again in your speeches, it is sacrilegious."
