That the Arlington Group, or any conservative Evangelical group, is considering endorsing Senator Obama is simply mind boggling. Senator McCain may not be fluent in theological or theosophical language but this is poor reason to bestow blessings on a false messiah.
A staffer reports, “[Obama] speaks our language. He seems more comfortable with his faith. Jesus’ name rolls off his tongue, as do some of the phrases people of faith tend to use in these meetings,” So, yes, words matter. Obama knows the hymnal well, but actions trump words every time. In Matthew 7:16, written in red letters, “Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?” BHO uses holy language to obscure his true positions. He is for keeping President Bush’s Faith Based Initiatives as long as long as the faith is left on the sidelines. He is for gay marriages — or Michelle is. Also worth consideration, Obama and family attended, for 20 years, a church where hate, not love, was frequently preached. His words are awfully pretty but are they contrary to his action and his very brief voting record. His words are a pretty song used as subterfuge and distraction. In the words of my Yiddish speaking forefathers, “A half truth is a whole lie.”
p>As for McCain, he will never be the most eloquent man in the room. He is often a leaden speaker with an ear of tin and a tongue of clay. Not all are given the gift of gab. Moses was a poor speaker who needed his brother Aaron to be his mouthpiece, but history shows that Moses is the one who carried out the Lord’s mission. br> — Ira M.
