Praise Jesus for I find that many News Reporters are trying to influence voters against Obama by giving there opinions about everything Obama says, especailly, for the up coming Penn. election. The New Reporter are picking (silly) into everything Obama says and trying to put thoughts or words into the minds and mouths of listeners in a negative way against Obama.

For instance, When I listened to Hillary talk about her grandfather and guns and I listened to Obama return his comments concerning Hillary's statements on war and guns, I did not find the statements on either person's side to be "bitter." I just saw two persons expressing their views in an honest expression to win votes.

I know from experience that a person does not have to have been in a war or used guns to know how to win a war for all one would have to know is the Person/Holy Spirit/Almighty God Who would give one the Wisdom to know how to win the war without a gun and only The Almighty God can do so for Jesus Is The Warrior Who never lost a battle. Am I right about it for yes, I am right about it. Obama knows who the Captian of the war is and that Captain Is Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 13:8 - Phil. 4:13,19 - Rom. 12:19). To win wars Jesus does not want the Christians to fight with guns (physically), but with spiritual weapons (The Holy Scripures - Living Word of Jesus). We pray and plead The Blood of Jesus over Obama, his family, and entire America, and whole world. AMEN! Love -

We want to know what happen to our comments that were on the site for we followed all the rules? We entered comments today that we do not see on the list. Thanks!

Praise Jesus! I heard on the News that someone was saying that John McCain was the best one to be the President because he fought in wars. We want to say on Obama's behalf why Obama would be the best qualified President because he did not fight in wars on the battlefield. A person does not have to fight on the war battlefield to know how to win a war. Christians (Obama is a Christian) should not fight on the war battlefield for the Holy Scriptures teach he who lives by the sword (guns and etc.)shall die by the sword. The only weapon Christians need to win any war is The True, Living, and Almighty God (Heb. 4:12). God did not allow David to build the Temple in Jerusalem because David had blood on his hands (man of war).

Agape Love (Jesus) will win all wars for the Christians when we allow Jesus to do so (I Cor. 13:8). Jesus has all power over satan in people (Matt. 28:18-20). We truly see the Hands of Jesus in this election for John the Baptist was the forerunner before Jesus and John the Baptist was killed. The evil one, satan's followers wanted to kill Jesus because Jesus told all the Truth; however, Jesus laid His Life down (birth, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and coming back in the clouds) for all (Acts 1;).

The late Dr. King, Jr. was the forerunner before and for Obama and satan followers want to kill Obama because Obama is telling the truth about race, religion, and not justice in America's court Systems issues that have caused injury, hate, and unnecessary harm to many American citizens all the years up to this present time.

We strongly believe if anyone threaten in a physical way to hurt Obama or his family members we will witness the worse war/riot that America has ever seen. The majority of the so-call Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and etc. on behalf of Obama will be fighting against (enemies)overall, so-call Whites. If the National Guards are called in to restore peace those Guards who are for Obama will be fighting against those Guards who are against Obama. America is at war and this will be the perfect opportunity for the enemies (foreign country) to take over America and we believe many soldiers will leave Iraq to come and fight in America those for Obama against those who are not for Obama. We pray Jesus will cover all America under His Blood and allow whoever wins the election will be in peace and harmony for Jesus Glory and Sake. AMEN! Love always,

Praise Jesus for Jesus has used Senator B. Obama and Rev. Wright to open the door to discuss and try to fix the two main issues (race & religion) for Americans to become one Nation under The True, Living, and Almighty God - Original King James Version - I John 4:14 - John 15:5). We are who or what our religious beliefs (good or evil - righteous or non-righteous - non-Christians or Christians). Christians main concern is to do the Will of Jesus (True God) at all times and in every place and then and only then there is not any crisis (economic, gas prices, jobs, lack of proper housing, senseless wars, poverty, and etc.) cannot be solved with the help of Jesus.

Christians are to obey Jesus Doctrine at all times and non-Christians believe in satan's doctrine (I Cor. 2:- I John 4:). Senator B. Obama and his supporters cannot fail because there is not any failure in Jesus and there is not any weapon formed against Obama and his supporters that shall prosper and Jesus said, "Vengeances is His for Jesus will repay." Romans 12:19. It is very dangerous to mistreat The True God/Jesus children or followers for Jesus will bring His Wrath/Anger upon the children of disobedience and Jesus enemies (satan and his demons). (Gal. 5:).

We plead The Blood of Jesus against every hate mail satan's evil spirit in these people that is trying to come against or destroy Obama and his supporters in Jesus Name and for Jesus sake. We say, satan, you are a liar and a defeated foe and not any weapon formed against Obama, his entire family, or any children of The True God shall prosper in Jesus Name and we say thank You, Jesus for all of Your Protection and supplying our every need (Phil. 4:19 - Matt. 28:18-20).

Christians have the Mind of Christ (Phil. 2:5) and non-Christians have the mind of satan (Gal. 5:19-21 - Heb. 2:14). Christians can destroy the works of satan by applying the Living Word of God (I John 3:8 - Heb. 4:12). Non-Christians operate on natural or human or material items or things that can be seen and touched with natural eyes and feelings for these things will fade away. Christians operate on heavenly or divine things that cannot be seen or touched with human eyes or feelings, but we have to walk or live by faith in Christ Jesus Doctrine (Gal. 5:22-23 - Rom. 10:17 - Heb. 11:6 - James 2:17,26).

Once a person becomes a Christian, The Holy Ghost (Teacher, Wisdom, Hope, Agape Love) lives inside the believers and the Holy Ghost goes wherever the Christians go whether on the job or off the job and the two cannot be separated. When many people say separation of Church and State, they do not realize The True Church is The Living Organism (The Holy Godhead) Who lives inside the all Christians (believers) and is not a local building or place that can be seen or touched with human feelings. State represents all types of people (non-Christians and Christians) which there cannot be separated of living people from their duties who operate in different States.

It is my understanding that the original dispute about Church and State came about because the State was trying to tell the church what to do and it should have been the other way around for the church should tell the State what to do based on The Holy Commandments. The Holy Godhead/Jesus is The Creator of the whole universe (IS. 43:7-11 - Rev. 4:11 - I John 4:14).

In closing, for the Christians there is neither male or female, race, or creed, or color in Christ Jesus for Christians are spirits and souls for divine or heavenly purposes and flesh, blood, and bones for human or earthly purposes (Gal. 3:28 - Col. 3:11 - I Cor. 12: - I Cor. 13:); however, Christians operate or should operate through the Mind of Christ/Instructions/Teacher (I John 2:27 - Phil. 2:5). Love always,

Praise Jesus for I do not believe that there is any such thing as "separtion of church and State" as many define or interpret the statement. We all know that there is Something or Someone higer in Power (Heavenly Being - Creator of the Universe) than ourselves; therefore, we must obey the Being that created the whole universe. I take that Higher Being to be Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ (I John 4:14 - Is. 43:7-12 - Rev. 4:11). I have witnessed lately in passed years all religions, except Christians can celebrate any holiday they choose without any interferance from the Legal Law or anyone else. However, allow the 25th day of December (Christmas holiday) many try to prohibit the Christians' Christmas holiday, but satan is a liar in the Name of Jesus for Jesus will stand forever (Rev. 1:18).

I want to encourage Obama and say to Obama not to be discouraged for Jesus is definately on His side and not any weapon formed against Obama shall prosper. I have witnessed and know that there will be many Pastors (so-call Whites, Blacks, and whoever) will be envious, jealous, and hateful to Obama because Jesus has used Obama an ordinary man (Jesus uses ordinary) people to do His will. It is my strongest belief that Jesus has used Obama to cause more people, especially, in this United States to be saved from their sins (salvation - John 3:16) than all the Pastors down through the years since Obama's birth and that is truly good news.

Jesus has used Obama through his speeches and Preachers who are against or for Obama over the air waves and in public and private places to talk about religion in some form or Jesus that caused and is causing Jesus Name to be lifted up. Jesus told Obama if you lift me (Jesus) up then I will do the drawing to me (Jesus) and give you (Obama) the victory over sin and satan (I John 3:8).

We are witnessing Jesus finding favor with Obama for Obama's obedience to The Living Word. Obama was and is willing to confront the "race and religion" problem that has and is dividing our Nation. We must deal with the race and religion situation before we can become one Nation under The True God and liberty for all American citizens. We pray and plead The Blood of Jesus over Obama, his family, all concerned, and every evil spirit (satan) that is coming against Obama and this United States in Jesus Name and for Jesus sake. AMEN! Love always,

Praise Jesus for we thank Jesus for Senator Barack Obama for we see the Hand of Jesus in this election for the good for all Americans for without Jesus we cannot do any thing (John 15:5). I know in my spirit that Jesus has ordered this election concerning Obama. I also know in my spirit that Jesus allowed Rev. Wright to say what he said and for the news people to play the bits and pieces because I have known for a long time that our country would never come together unless we dealt with and face the two most needed items to be addressed and to become a reality in America and they are "race and religion." The speech Obama made on race was the gospel truth and truth is the only trait will make all free and I know in my spirit that Jesus was speaking through Obama and Obama summond up the settling the race and religion problem by stating from the Holy Bible "Do unto others as we would have others do unto us." One cannot get any better than that truth. I can also tell in my spirit that Obama knows who he is, whose he is, and why he is based on his Christianty belief (Rev. 4:11 - Is. 43:7-8). Therefore, Obama does not have to fear any human for Jesus said if I am for you who can be against you or I am better than the whole world against you. Jesus also said that if Jesus is for us who can be against us (Rom. 8:). We pray that Jesus would keep Obama humbly bold and for Obama to continue to take his orders from Jesus and Obama will not fail, but be victorious in every endeavor for all people and himself. I find this election the most interesting and inspiring than I have ever witnessed and we say thank You, Jesus. The only weapon Obama needs to win victory over sin and satan is The Living, True, Word of The Almighty God (Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ - Heb. 4:12). I am truly blessed to witness a Christian who does not deny His Christian belief and Saviour, Jesus for anyone or for any reason. We need God-fearing People in the White House and we will witness a better America. The only weapon, book, or instructions Obama needs to lead or guide this county is The Holy Bible (Original KJV). Of course, Obama will need other one accord believers to stay on track for the best concern for all people. We plead The Blood of Jesus over every evil spirit that would come against Obama, family members, this election and all concerned in the Name of Jesus and for Jesus sake. We share Obama's views on respecting all people's religious views, although we many not endorse the views for our own lives. We have to go by what we know and what we have experienced and we say thank You, Jesus. We know what works for us and others are free to exercise what works for them and there is not any love lost.

The only One Who can forgive Rev. Wright and all people is Jesus Christ and we all have sinned and do sin every day. Jesus commanded us to forgive one another as Jesus has forgiven us. In the sight of Jesus Rev. Wright's sin(s) is not any greater than anyone's else sins. He/She without sin allow he/she to cast the first stone at Rev. Wright. Jesus is The Only One Who can move on people hearts to have agape love for one another. I saw the Hand of Jesus using Rev. Wright to assist Obama to get to this point (running for President of the United States)and I saw Jesus using Obama to help restore Pastor Wright back to where Rev. Wright had fallen in the meekness of love and this is what Christian living is all about and we say thank You, Jesus.

You have a blessed day and to God be all the Glory! Love always,

Obama's Vacuous political statement about hope change nothing, they are simply vacuous!

GaryD, not sure what you think Obama should be doing to live up to your standards. Presidents don't go out as individuals to feed people, give them water, or clothe them with the personal resources they have at hand. They work at a somewhat larger scale to effect social good. Your standards for individuals are irrelevant.

Terra I have already heard enough of Obama's warmed over socialist claptrap in my 59 years to last me a life time. I also no that caring about people means you do something not compel some one else to do something.

Christ did not say to the Sheep of Matthew 25 "You saw me hungry and made sure Joe fed me. You saw me thirsty and made sure Judy gave me something to drink." or "You saw me saw me naked and made sure same clothed me."

Real compassion isn't about taxing or government programs real compassion is you do something with what you have to hand to help those in your immediate vicinity.

Obama is inviting and accepting. He offers a sense of belonging, a sense of being a part of something important. Inclusiveness is fundamental to spirituality. James McBride wrote a tribute to his mother, "The Color of Water." The story of prejudice, discrimination, struggle, determination, education, hard work, and success is very much the story of Barack Obama......

A word hope is a bit too illusive for me. Of course we live with hope. Hope is an essencial part of human experience. We must have hope especially times like this when the nation is in turmoil. But hope must be accompanied by inner and outer discipline and a willingness to do to make our hope realized. Without inner and outer discipline, hope becomes an empty illusion. Without inner discpline and on going faith (faithing), we can not experience true freedom. Spirituality is not something that is handed to us. We must as individuals take responsibility for connecting to our own inner self that is our true spirit. We must get a hold of that inner knowing that we are spiritual beings having human experiences.

What spiritual aspiration does a call to elect me and I'll rip off all those rich folks and give you the money address?

Hi, Artist. Welcome here to our little forum. :)

I'd say, though, that *spirituality *is* a birthright,* sure as we're all born with what we call 'spirit.' It's just not as conditional as some religious would make it. Maybe that's what your Jesus was getting at with the closets and all.:)

thank you 4 writing your article
to make me examine what i believe.. and know ...from my experience... 4 whuts its worth and eye make no claims... spirituality is something that has many many diffent ways to dicover it.. i cnat remember if it was william james or emmit fox or possibly another that roams my memory with the important ideas intact but the exact souce a mystery... but it said there are... as many ways... to find... God ...and spirituality... as there are people on earth... to me this is a profound and undeniably true statement if taken for a fact would seem to negate the need for any particular religion to be neccesarry for the finding of God and faith. didn't jesus himself tellus to pray in private... in a closet.... to insure we were doing it for the correct reasons i suspect not... because the closet was... some... holy place.. religion is in my way of thinking the oraganized methods that have in the past and seem to and mabe ... in the present... and i would assume you could extrapalate into the future... would be a method.. for certain people... to find ...spiruality and faith... in my experience it is also where large groups of well intentioned people go to fool themselves into thinking they have gotten somthing they do not possess and its the comradery of the group and the social aspects they benifit from. while they remain in some cases wretched excuses for human beings... when ...compared to the very books and words of thier own religious beliefs that they themselves have never taken the time to read ...or possibly ...do not understand the meaning of the words. spiruality is not a birthrite nor something you can pay some money and get........or something you get by going to a nice big building once a week and pretending with like minded cluless souls... but i am just an artist please check 4 truth if any

Obama's call to human spiritual aspiration is what is driving his campaign. Human spiritual aspiration is the aspiration to betterment, to uplifting and wholesome living which allows expression of human creativity at at every level.

The question is whether the commercialism of our culture will allow this spiritual aspiration to transform the way we live. I do have hope, but think that Obama's bills are being paid by commercial interests which will require him to limit change to that which is commercially viable.

The real transformation might unfold when those commercial interests have lost control. If the current economic decline continues into a depression, perhaps Obama's leadership will drive a new America. People only change when their backs are against the wall, and change is the only option. Hope is good, but is not enough on its own.

See: http://www.share-international.org for
a look at what seems to explain both Obama's hope and the extraordinarily emotional experiences to be had at his rallys.

And if a person only ever says keep hoping how long before sane intelligent people ask the obvious question:

In What?

Thank you for these observations. "If a person lives without hope, they are not living a fully human life." And if a person seeks to generate fear, despair and cynicism to serve their own interests, that is a universal kind of sin.

Did you ask the pope for the gold yet?

Professor Stevens-Arroyo (above):

"If a person lives without hope, they are not living a fully human life."

*****

T.S. Eliot (East Coker):

"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing;"

*****

Professor Stevens-Arroyo (above):

"Thus, whether hope is generated from a Christian faith, a Buddhist faith, or faith in humanity and reason, it serves the same function in the public square."

"Buddhists don't hope. They perceive the present moment."
