HE's Church of Christ......I guess you are saying they are not christian? I just love the judgementalist.....Hey I am not a christian, guess that makes me a bad mammajama, I don't like how the word has became tainted. Did someone ask you to give your stock away for Sally down the street? Amazing.....I believe .....it is because he is black that you have a problem.......you are the one mentioning it not me.
I have managed to stay away from this thread but this has gone too far. Obama is not a member of the Church of Christ!!!!!!!!!!! He is a member of the UNITED Church of Christ. There is a difference. If you would like me to prove that difference I would love to have you come visit my Church on Sunday morning. Now that being said....I do not care what color he is. He is very scary. I will pray everyday that he has a change of heart on a lot of issues. I pray he will be the best president ever and he will help this nation. That won't happen imo with the way he feels now. God help us and keep us safe, Amen.
Amen sista... prove them wrong..... <NOT WORTHY>

I have copied and pasted their statement of faith. It may be a bit different than the "Church of Christ" you attend....Same as I know, the statement of faiths that many "churches" proclaim....all a bit different than the next. SO many churchessssss.......I wonder are there individuals in your church who if a stranger were to see them on the streets or living out their lives.....I wonder would they say they are not "christian"? The point is, just because a person goes to a particular church does not mean they are of the same mind as everyone in that church....I know as I have been there myself.... I have watched the entire segment that was "proclaimed Obama made a mistake talking about his "Muslim faith".....have you ? I realized it was no mistake and he was not making a mistake and if you had watched more than the little clip you'd also know he made no mistake. But then again, you are believing what you want in spite of your signature.
