US President, Obama. * Photo credit: vote08.freedomblogging.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the \u201cRestoring Honor Rally\u201d at the National Mall in Washington Saturday, commentator Glenn Beck stated that\u00a0 U.S. President Obama\u2019s political message is \u201ca perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ\u201d.<\/p>\n

From an\u00a0 authentic\u00a0 Christian perspective \u201cliberation\u201d is first and foremost liberation from the radical slavery of sin. This is not the kind of\u00a0 liberation that President Obama preaches though he claims to be Christian. Obama\u2019s aspiration for justice is captive to ideologies which hide or pervert its true meaning, and which propose to people struggling for their liberation goals which are contrary to the true purpose of human life. He proposes ways of action which imply the systematic recourse to violence, contrary to any ethic which is respectful of persons.\u00a0 This is all evident in his support for homosexuality and his militant push for abortion and\u00a0 embryonic stem cell research.<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s theology of liberation\u00a0 proposes a novel interpretation of both the content of faith and of Christian existence which seriously departs from the faith of Christ\u00a0 and, in fact, actually constitutes a practical negation.\u00a0 Concepts uncritically borrowed from Marxist\u00a0 ideology and recourse to theses of a biblical hermeneutical marked by rationalism are at the basis of his\u00a0 new interpretation.<\/p>\n

With respectful and cordial best wishes, I remain,<\/p>\n

Sincerely yours,
\nPaul Kokoski.<\/p>\n
