The 2nd oath…you’ve seen this right?
Obama’s left hand being absent of a bible was because apparently there ‘was no Bible on hand’ in the White House. Strange, considering our founding fathers based our legal documents from the Word of God, that one would not be available to him. However, a few “Christians” are seeking to end the dilemma and are shipping Barack Hussein Obama his very own bible to have. This is not just any other Bible however! It’s a specially made bible that has cut out all but the areas where Jesus Himself speaks of poverty and justice. Yes, never mind all that mumbo jumbo about “God’s Law” and “sin” President Obama, you too can have your very own sliced up version of what you already preach! Guess who thought of this awesome bible! Come on, you can cheat, look back up at the title of the post…Ding! Ding! Rick Warren! yuppers! here’s an excerpt from the official site:
The inspiration behind it
It was US pastor and writer Rick Warren who laid the foundations for The Poverty and Justice Bible.
He’d discovered that there were 2,000 verses on poverty – and couldn’t believe he’d never noticed before.
Bono’s view
U2 frontman Bono, in his talk to the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC in November 2006, pointed out that the only time Christ is judgmental is on the subject of the poor.
He also referred to the 2,000+ mentions of poverty in the Bible, saying ‚’that’s a lot of airtime!’
How the work was done
It took a team of Bible Society researchers poring over the CEV to identify every verse that’s specific about God’s take on social injustice.
These range from Old Testament prophecies to Jesus’ radical teachings. Just about every page has some emphasis on justice and fairness.
It’s on the global agenda for politicians, activists and opinion formers. But fighting poverty and tackling injustice is no new concept for the 21st century.
This Bible is proof that, on issues of social justice, God has plenty to say.
When it comes to poverty and justice, God got there first.

A groundbreaking Bible that megaphones what God has to say about poverty and injustice.
It’s a Bible to surprise a watching world. To engage compassionate young adults. And to enrich your own life.

- Easy to follow, accessible and fresh Contemporary English Version Bible text.
- Includes a unique 32-page guide with in-depth studies from equality to education, wages to water and practical suggestions on what to do next.
- Builds on issues raised by influential Christians and public figures including Bono, Rob Bell, Jim Wallis and Tony Campolo
The Bible every socially aware Christian will want to own.
‘Here’s proof that faith without a commitment to justice for the poor is a sham, because it ignores the most explicit of all the social concerns of Scripture.’ –Tony Campolo, sociologist and Christian leader
I highlighted Tony Campolo and Rob Bell because they are Emergent Church teachers, leaders, speakers, and heretics. For more information on them click their names within this text, as well as conduct your own research on Emergent Church. I highly recommend links to the right, like Slice of Laodicea, Lighthouse Trails Research, Understand the Times, etc. The basic elements of Emerging Church is at it’s core as follows:
The Emergent Church seeks to unify all religions. They discount the work Jesus has done on the Cross and His own claim on deity, John 14:6. If there are other ways to God the father beside Jesus then His death on the cross is factored to very little, as some emergent teachers put it, it was (Jesus’ death and atonement for our sins on the cross) merely to be an ‘example’ to us as to how to live ’sacrificially.’
You don’t believe me do you? Let me give you a clear example of what they believe, from Roger Oakland’s book, Faith Undone pg.193.
“The Church’s fixation on the death of Jesus as the universal saving act must end, and the place of the cross must be reimagined in Christian faith. Why? Because of the cult of suffering and the vindictive God behind it.”–Alan Jones, “Reimagining Christianity
In the above picture of Bono he is wearing a ‘coexist’ head band. Here it is in it’s fullness so you can see the movement behind the madness:
Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!“NKJ
Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” NKJ
“I and My Father are one.”-Jesus, John 10:30 NKJ
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 NKJ
2″You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:2
18″For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book; If anyone adds to these things,
God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19 NKJV
Gods word is God’s word in whole, line upon line, precept upon precept…every jot and tittle…
18″For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18 NKJV
Magic scissors just don’t do the trick…people read your Bibles…every word…accept God’s truth and the FULL GOSPEL
We can’t just take the parts that satisfy our needs or those of the government. We can no longer allow man to think for us…rely upon the gift of the Holy Spirit through your Salvation upon the acceptance of the One and Only True Savior, Jesus Christ. Perservere in the Truth.
