Joshua DuBois: Questioning President's Christian Faith Goes "Beyond the Boundaries of What's Acceptable"


Joshua DuBois, the White House Office Faith Director and someone who is close to the President on matters of faith tells The Brody File that questioning President's Obama's Christian faith goes "beyond the boundaries of what's acceptable" I spoke with DuBois Thursday afternoon.

The President said the following in his National Prayer Breakfast speech on Thursday:

"Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith, or, for that matter, my citizenship."

Why did the President feel the need to include that line in the speech? I asked Joshua DuBois about that. Video and transcription below.

Joshua DuBois: "I think the general sort of uncivil tone of some of the discourse is troubling not just to the President but to a lot of the people, a lot of the pastors we talk with on a daily basis, folks who may not agree with us on particular issues all the time but when you are doing things like that when you are calling someone's faith into question, when you are questioning someone's motives these are things that feel like they go beyond the boundaries of what's accetable and what's right and so i think that's what he was speaking to this morning."

As christians we need to know who we are dealing with and who we offer our support to.Obama has not attended church since becoming president.Further I suspect that he is not even a christian or got really converted.I think that his supposed conversion is just to trick the americans so as to get christians votes.Besides the church he was attending does not recognise the divinity of our Lord Jesus and this choice of his is not an innocent one because this suit his muslim belief which as everyone knows denies that Our Lord Jesus is the Son of God.
Let's see
1)He passed the so called Hate Law to stop any voices that try to reveal the real nature of the islamic faith.
2)He opened the doors for more dangerous muslims to enter the US.Tariq Ramadan who was persona non grata under Bush for example has been allowed to enter the US
3)He is making America vulnerable by scrapping plans for a missile defence shield in Poland and has refused to take Iran to task on its nuclear problem.
Wake up

Obama has claimed the Christian faith, but his actions do not support his claim - has has only been to church four times since he took office, he has not chosen a church in Washington, he enacts laws that are against God, and he did not celebrate the National Day of Prayer. We question his claims of being a Christian because his actions do not match the words from his mouth.

Obama has not disclosed his health records, his school records, or the correct version of his birth certificate. He has spent a lot of money on various attorney's to prevent these documents being made public. WHAT IS HE HIDING?? We question Obama because he hides things and because he has spoken many lies. A liar cannot be trusted. We The People do not trust this man.

God puts into office those he chooses to put in office for his purposes. We don't have to understand his purposes, we are called to trust him and to LOVE our enemies. (That's for those who believe that our president is our enemy.) Bless him and curse not! This is NOT our home, our home is yet to come so take courage when you see these things happening. They will know we are Christians by our love...not by our hate masking itself from fear! Pray for Joshua DuBois....I'm looking at him as a Joseph or Daniel. We need to pray for him!

What does the Word say about questioning one's faith? "You shall know them by their fruit."
Something else that speaks to this question,
God will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel.....

We allow evil in the land,not God .When Paul in the new Testament,said God chooses our leaders is true if we serve God and listen to his voice and vote as he wants and not with our wishes then we do well.But I do balem God for the poor leaders we have we fail to listen to him, and vote our own goals.Remember we vote for who we get.In the Old Testament God warns Isreal that to follow him and evil will not rule in their land.How dare we blame God when we are poor servents.

We have a right as a citizen of this country to 1. question the President on any policy according to the constitution, 2. question him on his citizenship, that is also in the constitution, 3. question him on his religious policies especially when our country is in the balance here. So what is the problem? Where does it say in the constitution that we have sold our birth rights. We were founded on religious values, and so far I have not seen an admendment changing these values. So please man up and stop the lies, the policies being made underhanded, the dismantling of our country, and trying to force down our throats that we do not have any rights anymore. These are God given rights, with protection provided by the Constitution of the United States, and no man can remove them from me.

We have a right to question anyone who we elect into office . By his action we know what he is or not. Don't think that just because some group of men telling us how to think, we will.
This man is not for the good of America and it's people. He is giving a way our blood to forigners. We don't want him in any place of power. Let vote him out OUT ...
