When Barack Obama announced his support for gay “marriage”, it caused a predictable firestorm among black ministers. Coming immediately after the 32nd straight loss for Gay “marriage”, Obama’s announcement was transparently cynical and widely recognized as a politically desperate move. One group that was not pleased with the President was his black church-going base.
A number of African American ministers spoke out and condemned Obama’s support for gay “marriage” as a contradiction of the Bible they preach from every Sunday.
One such minister is Rev. Emmett Burns, a Baltimore area preacher who came out breathing fire over Obama’s announcement last Sunday. Burns said he would not support Obama in November and predicted his defeat.
Nevertheless, the next day, Burns, who is also an elected Democrat legislator, walked back from his condemnation and said he would continue to support Obama. He will now urge his congregation to forget what he said on Sunday and join him in supporting Obama. Surveys of black attitudes toward homosexuality say he won’t be entirely successful.
At a conference of influential Evangelical ministers last year, the theme was opposition to Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon, not a Christian, making him totally unacceptable as our next president in their view. There was hell fire and brimstone bursting out of every speaker’s mouth.
Any observer would come away with the certainty that Evangelicals would work to sink Romney’s chances of getting the nomination, let alone being elected.
A recent poll shows that these Evangelical ministers are eating crow because by a margin of 73/20, rank-and-file Evangelical Christians are prepared to vote for Romney, the widest margin of support among any sizable voting bloc in the country.
Given the results of last week’s vote on North Carolina’s Amendment One (which found that black North Carolinians voted 2 to 1 to support traditional marriage) and African American opposition to gay “marriage” at 62/28, what chance do black ministers have of leading their flocks toward supporting the pro Sodomy Barack Obama?
Will a people who have been told that gay “marriage” contradicts the Bible listen to a minister who now contradicts the word of God? In the first test vote, blacks listened to God.
It is inconceivable that a significant number of blacks, who have little enthusiasm to vote to begin with, won’t turn away from Obama and toward God in November.

Anyone who professes to be a Christian can't vote for Obama without being in direct violation of the Bible.
The Bible is very plain on the subject of homosexuality and all other deviant behavior. The illegal president has said all along that he would side with Muslims over Americans. Knowing the Quran's permission, nay mandate, to kill Christians and eliminate Israel, that should have deterred Christians completely. Now he has all but admitted to being homosexual himself? How can any born-again believer agree with that without knowingly turning their back on God? They can't.
So it comes down to a decision to back God and his Word, or back Obama.

I hope so. It's time for the blacks to wake up in this country and smell the coffee. Get pass the skin color and race card kool aid propaganda. Obama, you are on your way out for good. Your dictatorship occupation of the white house is over. Pack your bags. Revolting (Rev) Wright's quote "America's chickens have come home to roost" Well, Obama, the American Bald Eagle has just landed on your Kenya Muslim head and it's going to fly you out of this country and back home to Kenya, for good.
Any real Christian knows that Obama is the Anti-Christ. The reason I say this is from actually 2 different Viewpoints. The first viewpoint is as a Christian, and a believer in the fact that "We walk by faith,and not by sight". Those of us that have Christ in our hearts and follow his teachings can feel the "Uncleanliness" or "Unrighteousness" of what Obama says and does, which is usually direct polar opposites of each other and his actions are usually shrouded in secrecy and are only revealed when good people uncover the truth. Just as an example of this, let's use the NDAA as our reference point. When the Legislation was passed by Congress and sent before Obama he said that he never wanted that type of power and would never use. Yet there is video from C-Span that can be seen via the Internet where one of the Senators states that Obama would have VETOED the Defense Budget unless NDAA was attached and that the Obama Administration gave them the exact wording to use for the Indefinite detention portion of the NDAA. So with just this one example, we see diametrically polar opposites of what Obama says and what Obama does.
With my second viewpoint which maybe a little bit more "out there", it turns more to Prophecy. With what has been written in the Bible in Daniel and Revelations, as well as the Prophecy of St. Malachy (The listing of the future Popes), Nostradamus, Hopi Prophecy, Mayan Calendar, yadda yadda yadda. Well anyways, We are currently on the last Pope in St. Malachy's prophecy before "Peter the Roman" who is to reign during the downfall of the Church/Man, and let's be honest, this Pope probably won't be around much longer. Then there is Nostradamus who claimed there would be 3 Anti-Christ's, each building upon the last, and his descriptions have led to the knowledge of the first 2…Napoleon, and Hitler. From all that has been gathered so far, Obama is following in the previous two Anti-Christ's footsteps in 2 very major points…the 1st being a great Bloodshed (vast wars), and the 2nd being Great Oratories or being Great Speakers able to get masses of people to follow them. Just to cut this short since I am sure most have stopped reading by now….I wouldn't bet that little Horns and a Tail would sprout from Obama before the end of this year.
Can any body prove Obama is not a Muslim spy . Seems how no one knows Obama real back ground this may be so ……..People in white house should all be thrown right out into streets for not checking Obama back ground closer
Since Rev. Wright has said "Religion was not the Obama`s Thing" do you black folks think for a minute he is concerned about you or your beliefs? I wouldn't count on it. Nothing else he has done has benefited you or anyone. You are just a vote to him and he will say what ever it takes to get it.
Has Obama Alienated his Black Church Going Base? Oh, Dear Lord God, I hope so! I do hope that the black folks of this nation have woken up and smelled the stink that comes from this filthy diseased mu SLIME mouth, purple lipped liar that he is. But, as David F. says above, this is prophecy being fulfilled. And, David, I read the whole thing. I guess I am not the only one who can write more than a sentence or two, thank you for your wise words. I too, feel that this “one” may be the anti christ. And if he is not, then that “one” is nearer than is comfortable for those of us who know, and beleive what is written in the books of Daniel and the Revelations……………I beleive every word written in the Bible. Every single letter and word.
