Is Obama Muslim?

Anonymous said...: Wow, Dr Jackson, next thing you will want to do is point out that the shooter at Ft. Hood was Muslim, instead of someone who became mentally disturbed from his tour of duty in the imperialistic, unjust war in Iraq....; November 7, 2009 5:56 PM

The shooter at Ft. Hood was Muslim. What at you trying to say or impute?; November 7, 2009 8:51 PM

Pray that the Holy Spirit will work through his Word and change dark, evil, dead hearts to living hearts of faith in Christ alone as the Savior.; November 7, 2009 10:29 PM

Anonymous said...: The fact is, Obama has attended a church that claims to be Christian, yet does not teach the truth found in God's Word. Claiming to be a Christian and having faith are two very different things.; November 8, 2009 11:48 AM

Haven't you ever heard sarcasm before?; November 8, 2009 5:59 PM
Anonymous said...: I'm saying Islam is an evil religion. We can expect more acts of terrorism from Muslims who are also U.S. citizens. The only hope for them is to turn from their false religion to the truth of the Christian faith.
P.S. Sarcasm doesn't work well online... unless you tell us it's sarcasm.; November 8, 2009 8:51 PM
I. J. Reilly said...: O.K., I'm no Obama supporter, but a lot of this simply illustrates that Obama is a politician who knows what to say to different groups to get the most votes possible. The whole "Obama Vistis a Mosque" thing simply shows him taking a tour of Haggia Sophia. I think that a visitor who goes to Istanbul without going into Haggia Sophia is an extreme rarity. It's like a visitor to Jerusalem going to the Dome of the Rock; November 9, 2009 11:11 AM
I. J. Reilly said...: To my last post, I'd like to add words of wisdom from Robert Allen Zimmerman:
"Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins"; November 9, 2009 11:54 AM

Michael Schottey said...: And George W. Bush KISSED the Saudi President...So what?

There are days when us Lutherans sound a little bit too much like Pat Robertson.; November 10, 2009 10:11 AM
Anonymous said...: A kiss is a greeting. No U.S. president has bowed to a foreign leader in subservience before.
Pat Robertson?!?!? Are you keeping up with the news?; November 10, 2009 8:29 PM
Michael Schottey said...: Bowing is a greeting too...one that doesn't involve saliva.; November 10, 2009 10:08 PM

Justification by Faith - God's Declaration of Righteousness

"Nowhere in the Bible is any man constituted or declared righteous ‘without faith, before faith.’” R. C. H. Lenski, Romans, Augsburg Publishing House: Minneapolis, 1963, p. 382. Romans 5:19-20.

"They [the false teachers] fared like a man who looks through a colored glass. Put before such a man whatever color you please, he sees no other color than that of the glass. The fault is not that the right color is not put before him but that his glass is colored differently, as the word of Is. 6:9 puts it: You will see, he says, and yet you will not see it."
What Luther Says, An Anthology, 3 vols., ed., Ewald Plass, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, II, p. 644.

"To this incline your ears, and be persuaded that God speaks through men and forgives you your sins; this, of course, requires faith."Sermons of Martin Luther, 8 vols., ed. John Nicholas Lenker, Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1983, II, p. 200.

From Thy Strong Word:
J-520
"It is a faithful saying that Christ has accomplished everything, has removed sin and overcome every enemy, so that through Him we are lords over all things. But the treasure lies yet in one pile; it is not yet distributed nor invested. Consequently, if we are to possess it, the Holy Spirit must come and teach our hearts to believe and say: I, too, am one of those who are to have this treasure. When we feel that God has thus helped us and given the treasure to us, everything goes well, and it cannot be otherwise than that man's heart rejoices in God and lifts itself up, saying: Dear Father, if it is Thy will to show toward me such great love and faithfulness, which I cannot fully fathom, then will I also love Thee with all my heart and be joyful, and cheerfully do what pleases Thee. Thus, the heart does not now look at God with evil eyes, does not imagine He will cast us into hell, as it did before the Holy Spirit came...." Sermons of Martin Luther, 8 vols., ed., John Nicholas Lenker, Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1983, III, p. 279. Pentecost Sunday. John 14:23-31.

J-528
"Faith is that my whole heart takes to itself this treasure. It is not my doing, not my presenting or giving, not my work or preparation, but that a heart comforts itself, and is perfectly confident with respect to this, namely, that God makes a present and gift to us, and not we to Him, that He sheds upon us every treasure of grace in Christ." Apology of the Augsburg Confession, IV. #48. Of Justification. Concordia Triglotta, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1921, p. 135. Heiser, p. 36.

J-545
"These treasures are offered us by the Holy Ghost in the promise of the holy Gospel; and faith alone is the only means by which we lay hold upon, accept, and apply, and appropriate them to ourselves. This faith is a gift of God, by which we truly learn to know Christ, our Redeemer, in the Word of the Gospel, and trust in Him, that for the sake of His obedience alone we have the forgiveness of sins by grace, are regarded as godly and righteous by God the Father, and are eternally saved." Formula of Concord, Thorough Declaration, III. #10. Of the Righteousness of Faith before God. Concordia Triglotta, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1921, p. 919. Tappert, p. 541. Heiser, p. 250.

J-590
"For neither you nor I could ever know anything of Christ, or believe on Him, and obtain Him for our Lord, unless it were offered to us and granted to our hearts by the Holy Ghost through the preaching of the Gospel. The work is done and accomplished; for Christ has acquired and gained the treasure for us by His suffering, death, resurrection, etc. But if the work remained concealed so that no one knew of it, then it would be in vain and lost. That this treasure, therefore, might not lie buried, but be appropriated and enjoyed, God has caused the Word to go forth and be proclaimed, in which He gives the Holy Ghost to bring this treasure home and appropriate it to us. Therefore sanctifying is nothing else than bringing us to Christ to receive this good, to which we could not attain ourselves."The Large Catechism, The Creed, Article III, #38, Concordia Triglotta, St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1921, p. 689. Tappert, p. 415. Heiser, p. 194.
