Rick Santorum is NOT a Christian. He is just "religious". His most recent display of character is not that of a devout Christian man. His own "phony theology" makes him say things that are abominable to God. But he doesn't know it. For he has a "zeal...but not according to knowledge".
THE BIBLE SAYS (in Proverbs 6:16-19): 16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
It is my upbringing that made me search out Mr. Santorum's words first to learn something of his character. I wanted to find out if he just recently started on this sad crusade attacking Mr. Obama's "religion" and "faith" or has he been this way for awhile...or worse. The more I read, the more I felt sick to my stomach. When it comes to phony theology, I submit to you that Rick Santorum is the proverbial poster child. He speaks passionately about Mr. Obama's faith or supposed lack thereof, but when questioned directly, will deny his own words as they're quoted back to him. You may ask me how do I know what Mr. Obama's ideals, values, and theology are. I can tell you all you have to do is LISTEN. His articulations are more than just a smooth flow of words. The content is what is most revealing (if you know the Word of God).
- Mr. Obama's "theology" concerning the poor & oppressed — Deuteronomy 15:10 - “Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.” Psalm 41:1 “Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.” Proverbs 19:17 - “He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.” Proverbs 22:9 - “A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.”
Many people have harangued Mr. Obama for not speaking out or retaliating when the Right attacks him. Many on the right make the attacks then call him weak when he does strike back.
- Mr. Obama's "theology" concerning replying to attacks against him — Matthew 5:9-11 - "Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
I say to Mr. Rick Santorum that he needs to go back and reacquaint himself, study his own theology. (I am not trying to intentionally offend anyone of the Catholic Church) In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it reads:
- II. RESPECT FOR THE DIGNITY OF PERSONS
Respect for the souls of others: Scandal
2284 Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. The person who gives
scandal becomes his neighbor's tempter. He damages virtue and integrity; he may
even draw his brother into spiritual death. Scandal is a grave offense if by
deed or omission another is deliberately led into a grave offense.2285 Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who cause it or the
weakness of those who are scandalized. It prompted our Lord to utter this curse:
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be
better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be
drowned in the depth of the sea."86 Scandal is grave when given by
those who by nature or office are obliged to teach and educate others. Jesus
reproaches the scribes and Pharisees on this account: he likens them to wolves
in sheep's clothing.87
