Professor At Messiah College: Obama May Be ‘Most Explicitly Christian President In American History’

» 71 comments

President Obama has received criticism regarding his faith on numerous occasions. Most recently, his health care program’s contraception mandate sparked scrutiny about religious freedom and his relationship with the Catholic Church. Messiah College professor John Fea, however, sees things differently.

In a column on Patheos.com, Fea said Obama “offered people of faith much promise in 2008,” and though he has failed to deliver, “there is still hope.” Beginning with “would you vote for a man who…,” Fea poses a series of questions including: “…gives praise and honor to God before a public audience? ” and “…claims that his Christian faith motivates him as a leader?”

He goes on to write:

Obama may be the most explicitly Christian president in American history. If we analyze his language in the same way that historians examine the religious language of the Founding Fathers or even George W. Bush, we will find that Obama’s piety, use of the Bible, and references to Christian faith and theology put most other American presidents to shame on this front. I think there may be good reasons why some people will not vote for Obama in November, but his commitment to Christianity is not one of them.

Fea does acknowledge those who have criticized him, citing it as a political problem (not a religious one):

Not all evangelicals like the way Obama has talked about how his Christian faith connects with his politics. But such disagreements are too often based more on politics than Christian faith.

Finally, despite his defense of the president, Fea states Obama’s “handling of the recent contraception issue was a disaster” — and that “he missed a wonderful opportunity to explain his health care proposal.”

Fea offers a perspective that approaches criticism of Obama differently than some of what has been circulating in the media. A second term, he says, will show if Obama truly leans toward a faith-based vision or a secular one.

     I certainly don’t know anything about this John Fea, but to be charitable, he seems to be impressed with the fact that President Obama simply quotes or references scripture or Christian motivations now and then . . . the problem is that, too often, his use of the scripture quotes have been misplaced — that is, their scriptural meaning doesn’t actually fit the use that he’s trying to make of them.  He’s mis-interpreting the scripture for his political goals . . . . and that’s not Kosher.

    How bright can this person be if he thinks we need a second term to figure out that Obama hates organized religion, has nothing but contempt for it’s followers, and believes he is the Messiah.

    WHAT???? Obama the most explicitly Christian president in American history???? This is an insult to the intelligence of every devout Christian moderately informed. Obama could well be remembered as the president who pay lip service to Christianity while doing almost everything in his power to undermine it. Shame on you, John Fea.

    Yo, John…ever hear of Obama’s 20+ years sitting in the pews of Rev. Wright’s NON-Christian church? You know, the one that preaches more of the Islamic religion than it does any thing else. The same church where this crackpot preacher, Wright yells out on Sunday mornings, GD America! Get back in touch with us when you get a clue. In the meantime, John Fea, all I  can do is ROTFFLMFAO…!

    Un-BEE-lievable. Obama has gone directly against Christ’s Church and yet this guy is impressed. You know, being a Christian is about actions – you can call yourself anything, you name check Christ all you want. If you don’t live the word, it’s no good.

    This country needs an agnostic or outright athiest president. For the sake of reason, logic, science, and reality. If athiests/agnostics were to group up, they’d be one of the largest voting bloc’s in the country. More than enought to compete with old folks, religious folks, and non-white folks. Of course, since it is religious people who are most easily led, you probably won’t see an athiest/agnostic group. It’d be like trying to herd cats.

    If Obama is in fact as liberal and left wing as people claim, he clearly is a follower of Jesus. The New Testament is a very short book. Read it and tell me Jesus said the point of life is to make as much for yourself as possible and ignore those who are poor and ill. Read it and tell me Limbaugh or Kal Rove or Ann Coulter or Hannity, etc, are follower of Jesus wheras as Obama is not. Christian means a follower of Christ’s ideas. It is absurd to say Oreilly or Bush are follower’s of christ while Obama is not. Why, because they say so?

    “If Obama is in fact as liberal and left wing as people claim, he clearly is a follower of Jesus.”

    LOL!!  You may have disclosed the crux of the issue. I suppose Christ was a nice enough guy but, in the end, didn’t get a whole lot ‘done’ and, fast forward to today, held tenets that although seemingly laudable, work only at the ‘local’ level. At the international level, you don’t want to be “turning that other cheek”.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Emma-Thomas/100003357377085 Emma Thomas

    Exactly! That being the case, people who advocate cut-throat capitalism and unilateral wars should stop accusing others of not being Christain. Notice, I am not saying Jesus is right or wrong. I am saying a follower of jesus cannot be an opponent of living for others, the whole point of Chirst’s teaching. Conservatives don’t seem to know it, but the Jesus story is ultimately fatal to their cause. The purists like Ayn knew this and said so. The contradition is just too glaring.

    Doesn’t it stand to make sense that he would be overcompensating? I am highly dubious of how genuine Obama’s faith is. And, no, I’m not calling him a Muslim. I just don’t think he’s religious at all. He just pretends to be bc Americans may not be ready for an atheist president. Personally, I don’t care if our president is religious or not so long as he’s honest and moral. Too bad Obama is neither.

    Being a Christian involves tolerance and understanding and actually following the teachings of Jesus. Do you consider people on the right that use the Christian faith as nothing more than a weapon to attack their enemies or a tool to push their own personal agenda to be true Christians? The kind of people that never quote the words of Jesus unless they want to claim persecution, more often using selevitive old testament quotes to condemn people while ignoring all the things forbidden in the same books because that would be inconvenient for their lifestyle.

     The Devil IS in the details:

    This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of “Muslims”:

    ACTUAL QUOTE

    In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    Kinda nice actually.

    Do you have any proof to back up your arguement that Rev. Wright’s church was non Christian? Transcripts of his sermons, perhaps? Eye witness testimony from people who have regularly attended his sermons? No? Or is it that proof that Obama is a christian doesn’t count if it goes against what you would like to believe about the president and the Christian faith in general?

  • Anonymous

    Questioning the man’s faith is ridiculous. Faith is a personal thing and the only one who could judge Obama for his faith is God. Instead of asking whether Obama is a Christian, you should be asking yourself whether or not you’re a Christian.

    Obama is not a Christian. He is like most extreme left wingers, an atheist. His entire image is for political gain. Where has he shown that he is a Christian, he was born to a Muslim father, he was raised by his Muslim stepfather as a boy in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country, and his school records show his as being Muslim, he attended mosque prayers in Indonesia. His name is a Muslim name for gods sake! He then joins Wrights church which says its Christian but its a black theology, black seperatist church that is anti-semitic, blames Christian whites for the black peoples ills and is aligned with the Nation of Islam. Obama gets busted going here and in order to win the election, denounces Wright and joins a real Christian church which he never goes to. He is like most extreme left liberals, an atheist. He lies about this just like he lies about being against gay marriage. Its all to stay in power. Wake up folks.

    OMG … yawn re “the Muslim”.  You see, it’s what simple, low-information voters like you say (and buy into).  Once again, how did that Rev.Wright/Muslim thingee work out for you last time?   Are you aware that not only is the President a Christian but the old “buzz words” are working less and less and fewer and fewer people identify him as a Muslim? : )
     
    Well that should read “thinking people” or people willing to have an open mind.  I wouldn’t worry about any Obama nightmares Mr. Room Temperature IQ … I would worry more about a return to right-wing governance.  Or have you forgotten the “grand” 1.1 million jobs that GWB created as opposed to the 21 million that Clinton created?  Or even the millions that Obama has created for that matter.  Do you remember a United States loathed around the world when W couldn’t even get allies to go along anymore?  
     
    Of course the saving grace is what the GOP have done in Statehouses and the U.S. Congress since the 2010 mid-terms.  Add the laughable presidential candidates into that sad mix and I would be VERY … let me repeat VERY worried if I were you.

I find it hard to believe that this prof has never read the writings of George Washington, maybe the 13 letters to the colonies where George Washington prayed for the each individual state. I have always been told and shown that the best way to show your faith is to live it. For a president to tell the world that we are not a christian nation, to allow federal money to go to the murder of the unborn, to forcing a group of people to go against thier beliefs in contraceptives, to telling the nation that he does not want his teen age daughters burdened with a baby, tocoming from a church where the man behind the pulpit says ” not God bless America but God damn America” i can not see any evidence where this man lives his life as if he is a christian.

    I don’t know
    why Reverend Franklin Graham agreed to submit to an interview on MSNBC
    yesterday morning. 

     

    At least Reverend Graham had several minutes of airtime to
    highlight the plight of the many Christians who are systematically persecuted
    and often brutally murdered in various Islamic states around the world.

     

    On several
    occasion Reverend Graham stated he could not answer with any certitude that
    President Obama was a Christian claiming that he was unable to “see” into the
    Presidents heart.

     

    Later in the interview, when less reticent about acknowledging
    the authenticity of Santorum’s and Gingrich’s Christian faith, Reverend Graham
    was rudely accused by co-host John Heilemann
    of being a hypocrite and violating what Heilemann and his liberal comrades view
    as the unpardonable sin of conservative Christians – advocating a double
    standard.

     

    Heilemann’s charge of a double standard is arguably
    unfounded.  While it may seem valid to Mr. Heilemann, in truth his reaction was emotional, spontaneous, and not
    very well reasoned.

     

    Reverend Graham simply concluded that, based on his definition
    of “what a Christian is”, (let’s not condemn him for using his definition and
    not that of Mr. Heilemann or others on the panel), the Christian faith of Santorum
    and Gingrich was more readily apparent to him than that of President Obama.  Why?

     

    The metric Reverend Graham used to consider “What is a
    Christian” was much different than that of the MSNBC panelists.  You might say Reverend Graham employed a
    double metric.

     

    Whereas the simple claim “I am a Christian” may be sufficient to
    prove status for the MNBC crowd, that is not the case for most in the
    evangelical community.  If this were the
    only metric in play here there would be no doubt that all three politicians,
    Obama, Santorum, and Gingrich must be given equal wieght, but Reverend Graham employs yet another metric.  In addition to what a man says, Mr. Graham also
    considers what a man does to be of equal if not greater import.  The
    confession that comes out of a man’s mouth does not always reflect the fruit
    that is produced in his life. In other words, “talk comes cheap”.

     

    Dissonance between words and deeds fuels an ongoing debate in
    the Christian church over the viability of one’s faith and confession.  Disagreements in the matter have give rise to
    denominationalism and after 2000 years the issues are still only partially
    resolved.  But one thing is agreed upon,
    an individual’s status as a Christian is not dependent on what they say but
    rather what Christ has done to them and for them.  The ensuing personal relationship that
    develops with the risen Christ is a private matter.  It’s depth and legitimacy can be fully known
    only to Him who has perfect vision into the heart and soul of man. That being
    said, the fruit of such a relationship, the evidence as it were, is public and
    is to be inspected by all. 

    For this reason, Reverend Graham and others in the Christian
    community view the Presidents faith and his level of commitment to Christ with
    caution but, without passing judgment one way or the other.

     

    You may ask, “How could this be?”

     

    Well, among the Christian community, there is this perceived problem
    of a disconnect between what President Obama says and what he does.  Consider the recent battle with the Catholic
    Bishops over an important aspect of Obamacare and the Presidents continuing
    assistance and support of abortion (all the while stating that he would like to
    see the number of abortions in the country reduced but, doing little or nothing
    to make it happen).  Secularists want to
    talk about women’s health but people of faith like Reverend Graham see it as a
    war on religious freedom.

     

    Also, President Obama refuses to use his authority to publicly
    acknowledge the persecution of Christian believers and the genocide (See
    Voice of the Martyrs http://www.persecution.com for detailed accounts.) occurring in many of the Muslim countries the US sends
    billions of Christian tax dollars to around the world.

     

    Why is anyone surprised that Christian’s like Reverend Graham
    may be inclined to journey beyond the stated and into the empirical where they find
    themselves reticent to either confirm or deny President Obama’s theology or
    further comment on his stated status as a Christian.

     

    (See the Gospel of St Matthew chapter 7 verses 20 – 23).

     

    Finally, even a casual observer can see that President Obama is
    given a pass by liberals and the main stream media when it comes to explaining
    his faith and Christian confession.  For
    example, he can boldly proclaim his Christianity at a Washington prayer
    breakfast and even cite the gospel of Luke to justify his political agenda of
    raising taxes on the wealthy and no one calls him to task whereas this same
    media relentlessly pursues conservatives like Santorum and Gingrich, demanding
    exhausting explanations anytime they introduce faith or religion into the
    conversation.

     

    When CNN runs a clip of President Obama acknowledging that during
    a meeting with the Reverend Dr. Billy Graham he felt a “desire” to pray for Dr.
    Graham, one has to wonder why the press suddenly lost their appetite for follow-up
    questions.

     

    Makes me
    wonder WWJHAWWG do?  Yea, what would John
    Heilemann, Alex Witt, and Willie Geist
    do?  Well actually, I don’t have a clue
    but, I’m pretty sure I know what they wouldn’t do.  They wouldn’t ask, “Well Mr. President, what
    did you pray about? And by the way, “Do you pray very often’ ‘ Do you ever pray
    about policy and if so does God ever answer your prayers?”  “What does He say when you talk to Him?”  Do you ever ask God if He has an opinion
    about Gay marriage and abortion?”

     

    I think it
    safe to say you will never find a member of the liberal media asking President
    Obama any questions like that.  Nor would
    the President or his advisors ever subject him to those kinds of questions from
    a conservative.

    Somebody say
    something about a double standard?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jon-Rowe/1469347192 Jon Rowe

     LOL.  Prof. Fea has forgotten more about George Washington’s faith than you’ll ever know.  GW was never recorded praying in Jesus name, including in the document to which you refer.  George Washington was only ever recorded mentioning Jesus by name once, and one other time (in the document to which you refer) by example, not name.  President Obama talks about Jesus a heck of a lot more than GW ever did.
