Barack Obama views about religion and salvation


Posted on November 5, 2008 Updated on November 5, 2008

President Elect of the United States, Barack Obama says everyone, either Chrisitians, Moslems or adherents of other faiths is a child of God, saying the appelation should not be limited to Christians alone

During a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he “can have everlasting life” because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much “children of God” as he is.

The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn’t share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he’s “sure she’s in heaven.”

In his life and in his politics, Obama said he asks himself, “How can I apply Jesus’s teachings in a very concrete way?”
 
Obama’s religious beliefs have been put in the spotlight over recent revelations about his former pastor. Videotapes of some of Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s sermons have been described as being racist and anti-America.
 
Yesterday, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president referred to those sermon remarks as being “stupid,” but he continues to reject suggestions that he should have left the church because of that kind of preaching from his pastor.
