“Bishop E.W. Jackson of the Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake, Va. was a guest on the popular conservative Christian radio show 'Janet Parshall's America” and said that “Obama crossed the line in suggesting that all faiths (and none) were different roads to the same destination”

“Rev Cecil Blye, pastor of More Grace Ministries Church in Louisville, Ky., said the president's reference to nonbelievers also set off major alarm bells for him "It's important to understand the heritage of our country, and it's a Judeo-Christian tradition,"’ period.”

The Real Story, America’s Founders were not “Judeo-Christians”

America was founded by spiritual God loving men!
America was not founded by Protestants who know nothing.
America was not founded by religious God fearing Christians!

As proven in the Encyclopedia Britannica, the first 6 American presidents were not Judeo-Christians. America was founded by spiritual God loving men who knew the truth about Jesus and that the Roman Christian church’s bible was based upon the words of the same false prophet that Jesus had warned people about.

The conservative Pharisee named “Paul”, whose words make up most of the New Testament is the false prophet Jesus warned people about as described and proven in the first of the “Revelations” series of CDs.

Conservative Judeo-Christians use bigotry, fear and religious dogma to continue their wealthy economic lifestyles. Jesus was a heavenly spiritual liberal, not a demonic religious conservative.

My ancestors taught America’s founders and America’s first 6 presidents, the ancient secrets about bible codes, creation, Hinduism and Christianity. My ancestors also taught Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, the story of how and when Jesus came to America, as fully described in the 6th CD of the “Revelations” series.

My ancestors helped create the original Great Seal of the United States and taught America’s founders the ancient Davidic lineage secrets about “God’s Eye” and the “Pyramid” printed on the back of the American dollar bill.

The Revelations series of CDs is available at http://www.thetruejesus.org/order.php.

Secret Truths about the “True Jesus”, not “Rome’s fake Jesus” are now online at http://www.thetruejesus.org/ . A book on the “True Jesus” and a DVD by the Guardians of Ancient Knowledge about the true history of humanity is also available at http://www.thetruejesus.org/order.php.

Full News Release
Obama's Nonbeliever Nod Unsettles Some
January 23, 2009 MELINDA HENNENBERGER AOL news

(Jan. 23) - Not everyone was happy with President Barack Obama's nod to nonbelievers and non-Christians in his inaugural address.
And some of the stiff criticism about Obama’s religious inclusiveness is coming from
African-American Christians who maintain that no, all faiths were actually not created equal.

"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness," the new president said. "We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this earth," he also said. Nothing too controversial, proclaiming that America's strength lies in its diversity.

But between those two statements, the new president got specific:
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers."

By mentioning, for the first time in an inaugural address, the 16.1 percent of Americans who check "no"’ when asked about religion, Obama turned it into the most controversial line in his speech -- praised by The New York Times editorial board and cited by some Christians as evidence that he is a heretic, and in his well-spoken way, a serious threat.

With that one line, the president "seems to be trying to redefine American culture, which is distinctively Christian," said’ Bishop E.W. Jackson of the Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake, Va. "The overwhelming majority of Americans identify as Christians, and what disturbs me is that he seems to be trying to redefine who we are.’"

Earlier this week, Jackson was a guest on the popular conservative Christian radio show 'Janet Parshall's America,' where a succession of callers, many of whom identified themselves as African-American, said they shared the concern, and were perplexed and put off by the president’s shout-out to nonbelievers.

Marshall noted that atheists were celebrating the unexpected mention, and indeed they were: "In his inaugural address … President Barack Obama did what many before him should have done, rightly citing the great diversity of America as part of the nation's great strength, and including 'nonbelievers'’ in that mix,’" said Ed Buckner of American Atheists.
"His mother would have been proud,"’ Buckner said, referring to the fact that Obama’s mother was not a church-goer. "And so are we."

Jackson said he and others have no problem acknowledging that "this country is one in which everybody has the freedom to think what they want.’" Yet Obama crossed the line, in his view, in suggesting that all faiths (and none) were different roads to the same destination: "He made similar remarks in the campaign, and said, 'We are no longer a Christian nation, if we ever were. We are a Jewish, Hindu and non-believing nation.'"

Not so, Jackson says: "Obviously, Jewish heritage is very much a part of Christianity; the Jewish Bible is part of our Bible. But Hindu, Muslim, and nonbelievers? I don't think so. We are not a Muslim nation or a nonbelieving nation."’

With all the focus on Obama as the first African-American president, the succession of black callers to Janet Parshall's show was a reminder that the "community"’ is not a monolith, and that many socially conservative black Americans are at odds with Obama's views, particularly on abortion and gay rights. Nor do they all define civil rights in the same way.

The Rev Cecil Blye, pastor of More Grace Ministries Church in Louisville, Ky., said the president's reference to nonbelievers also set off major alarm bells for him "It's important to understand the heritage of our country, and it's a Judeo-Christian tradition,"’ period.

But his even bigger beef with the president, he said, is that a disproportionate number of "black kids are dying each day through abortion. President Obama is supportive of abortion, and that's a genocide on black folks. Nobody wants to talk about that as a civil rights issue."
