Christians: Why are people saying Obama is the anti-Christ?

Question

I am a Christian, but I'm only 17 (unable to vote). I am not the most political person; however, I have heard various amounts of time, people calling Obama the "anti-Christ." Although I am a Christian, I do not know EVERYTHING about the Bible. I thought that the anti-Christ was supposed to come after the rapture. Clearly, the rapture hasn't come yet, so what's going on here?

Also, I've been hearing Obama is in a cult?

I would like some Christians to give me an insight.

Answer 1

There are always some retarded Christians calling every major new political leader the anti-christ.

Obama gets extra anti-christ accusations because he's black, and some Christians don't want a black president.

Answer 2

If Obama is the antichrist- the same could be said for McCain.  h**l, McCain even has the name "Cain" in his name.  Now who is the antichrist, huh?

Answer 3

People say this stuff every election for the last 2000 years. Ignore it.

Answer 4

Politics have trumped true Christianity in this country recently.

Religious sermons have been political rally cries.  Obama is called the anti-Christ by Republican extremists because they feel like it is a great way to attract attention and denigrate their enemy.

True Christians recognize Obama as a fellow Christian brother, even if they do not support his political party.

Stay true and love your Christian brothers.  Actually, love your Muslim and Jewish and atheist brothers as well.  Use love to overcome your enemies, not hate like those who dare use Christianity to further their political power.

Answer 5

I've never heard of that one... I've heard he's a Muslim and a socialist radical, but anti-Christ? I thought that title was reserved for GW Bush.

Answer 6

Fundamentalist Christians are notorious for their racist views. The chance that a black man may become (gasp) president terrifies them. Remember these are the same people who used the Bible to condemn interracial marriages once upon a time.

Obama is a Christian.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

Answer 7

WEll, seeing as Obama is going for America, instead of the world, i have to say he's not the antichrist.  Not only that, but because he seems far too incompetent to be an effective leader.

And no, I don't say that because "he's black". I just find him to be a "people pleaser" and nothing else.

All frosting and no cake, so to speak. Leaves you sick to your stomach in the end.

Answer 8

Don't listen to the Cult of Christianity.

Answer 9

Just think of the number of anti-christs they have proclaimed!

He's the anti-christ!  yeah yeah!

Wait, no he's the anti-christ!  Yeah yeah!

Whoa whoa whoa!   No HE's the anti-christ!

I'm tired of this nonsensical chicken little c**p!

Answer 10

Obama is not the antichrist. He just doesn't have the experience to do a tough job like that either.

The cult that follows him would disagree.

Answer 11

Because he's a Christian that thinks for himself and they feel threatened  

Answer 12

They say it to make people not like him or vote for him.  It's called lying.

Answer 13

You are right about the theology.

There are many unlearned Christians.

Answer 14

I am a Christian.  So is Obama.  People who call him, or the Pope or anyone else, the Anti Christ are just ignorant.

Answer 15

Inanimate Girl just made me laugh so hard I cried, so I couldn't come up with a serious answer!  I'm sorry, but that s**+- was funny.

Answer 16

Its because of every thing that's happening in the near future.December 2012 Mayan end of the world as we know it. December 2012 president takes office.many people think that since its the end of the world the anti Christ will be someone who has alot of power and the prez of the United States does

Obama's character traits- everyone likes him and even if they don't they have to omit he is really smart and a good leader. He even said he wants to create "Heaven on Earth" which is mentioned in Revelations

In every generation there is a possible anti-Christ

for example Nero was one but the world wasn't at that point yet. aren't we getting close? Obama if successful will go to the United Nations and try to unit the world "under one banner" as it was in the beginning and shall be again in the end. Obama's parents were from Muslim back ground he is a Christian and as far as i know he isn't in a cult. i hope i have answered some of your questions.

Answer 17

Because Palin is their lord and savor.  

Answer 18

Please do not take pseudo Christians seriously.

Antichrist is a term that simply means against Christ.

The apostle John said there are many antichrist,

this being a description;

Who is a liar but he denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denies the father and the son.

1 john 2;22

Answer 19

All of that tripe is nothing more than a right-wing fundie smear campaign. Ignore it.

Answer 20

They are all unlearned red necks who support McCain.

Answer 21

Because Hillary really wanted the nomination and would say anything to get it.

Answer 22

It's a simple political smear tactic designed to scare the stupid and gullible into voting for the other guy.

Answer 23

Ignorance mostly, possibly branching out from racism or some other form of bigotry.

Answer 24

Do not listen to Christians or non-Christians.  Listen to rationality.  About 20 years ago "everyone" was convinced that Richard Gere was in an LA hospital to have a gerbil removed from his ***.  It became "true" because so many people believed it.  Get the point?

You've got to do your own analysis with most everything in life.  Do trust your doctor of 10 years for advice.  But why at all believe anything you hear about someone being an anti-Christ?  You need to question your rationalization.

Answer 25

Those are people that want him to lose so they are doing the christian thing and lying about him.

Answer 26

Because they don't know what they are talking about.

Answer 27

Obama is not the antichrist. Even if he was, there would be nothing that we as christians could do about it.

Some, in I emphasize some, christians are still hateful towards others, claim that any political figure they don't like is the antichrist.

Answer 28

There are some that do not hold a Pre-Tribulation view of the Rapture of the church, as you do.

There are other who just refuse to read the Word for themselves and KNOW what God says about Antichrist.

Much is written of the Anti-Christ. Look at Daniel 11:36-45, and you shall be better informed about Obama and about God's Word.

Obama is not the Antichrist. Antichrist will be an Apostate Jew... not worshiping the God of his fathers. Literally, he will worship himself and have some Jewish heritage in his family line.    

Answer 29

"Although I am a Christian, I do not know EVERYTHING about the Bible."

That's shooting par for the course, isn't it?

And they're saying that, because they're stuck in the past, and are afraid of what life would be like if it weren't under a tyrannical old white guy.

Answer 30

First of all Obama is not a Christian . Like God says about those who praise God with their lips but their hearts are far from him Obama supports murdering people. He and many other people call it abortion but God calls it murder. The people being murdered feel pain and they have their live taken from them so the people who have them murdered can be free to seek their own selfish pursuits in this life. Not what God wants. Second of all the Antichrist will be well spoken and charasmatic like Obama and influence a lot of people who are not spiritually oriented to God. The Antichrist will fool a lot of people except for those elite God calls them who seek the truth from God's spirit and not from the spirit of the Antichrist. Obama could be the antichrist or not, I don't know his heart like God does. I do know the difference between those who claim to do God's will and those who seek their own because I only take advice from God . Jesus is God. He is that still small voice of reason that will help you see clearly but it is also  painful and grievious to see clearly just as along with the joy of God comes the sorrow and grief of what is going on in the world from God's view. It's still better to know than be ignorant like Obama and most of the world. Seek him out. He loves you like no one else can.

Answer 31

They are probably racists, or are stupid and believe he is muslim. Either way they are fundies.
