Past Predictions from Focus on Family

Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America
What will the United States be like if Senator Obama is elected? The most reliable way
of predicting people’s future actions is by looking at their past actions. Jesus himself
taught, “You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). Anyone who has hired
employees knows that – the best predictor of a person’s future job performance is not
what he tells you he can do but what he has actually done in the past.
So here is a picture of the changes that are likely or at least very possible if Senator
Obama is elected and the far-Left segments of the Democratic Party gain control of the
White House, the Congress, and perhaps then the Supreme Court. The entire letter is
written as a “What if?” exercise, but that does not make it empty speculation, because
every future “event” described here is based on established legal and political trends that
can be abundantly documented and that only need a “tipping point” such as the election
of Senator Obama and a Democratic House and Senate to begin to put them into place.
Every past event named in this letter (everything prior to October 22, 2008) is established
fact.
This letter is not “predicting” that all of the imaginative future “events” named in this letter
will happen. But it is saying that each one of these changes could happen and also that
each change would be the natural outcome of (a) published legal opinions by liberal
judges, (b) trends seen in states with liberal-dominated courts such as California and
Massachusetts, (c) recent promises, practices and legislative initiatives of the current
liberal leadership of the Democratic Party and (d) Senator Obama’s actions, voting record
and public promises to the far-Left groups that won the nomination for him.
Many of these changes, if they occur, will have significant implications for Christians. This
letter is addressed particularly to their concerns so they will be aware of what is at stake
before the November 4 election.
Some will respond to this letter by saying, “Well, I hope hardship and even persecution
come to the church. It will strengthen the church!” But hoping for suffering is wrong. It is
similar to saying, “I hope I get some serious illness because it will strengthen my faith.”
Jesus taught us to pray the opposite: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil” (Matt. 6:13). Paul urged us to pray not for persecution but “for kings and all who are
in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every
way” (1 Tim. 2:2). So Christians should hope and pray that such difficult times do not
come. But if they do come, then it will be right to trust God to bring good out of them and
also bring them to an end.
Of course, there are many evangelical Christians supporting Senator Obama as well as
many supporting Senator McCain. Christians on both sides should continue to respect
and cherish one another’s friendship as well as the freedom people have in the United
States to differ on these issues and to freely speak their opinions about them to one
another.

great read, as that stated, it said that not all would happen, but all could happen. Very hard to ignore what did

You could be a sociopath, or you could be a pedophile. I'm not saying that will happen, but it could!

I think they nailed it on Taxes, Health Care and oil , religion is headed that way, God help us all if Barry gets a seconed term with no fear of pandering to supporters, also the fact that the next prez will more than likely pick 2 to 3 SC Judges in the next four years, if barrycare can make it through as things are, with a more left leaning, what can happen? it would not be a streach to see same sex and abortion go as the writer stated...

Do you purposely make these crazy spelling errors, or just type on your phone?

is this all you can take away from an opinion? and I type with my glasses off often, dont spell check, post as I do other things, does it really bother you?

I assumed it was something like this. I just can't follow how you arrive at some spellings. Sorry for the tangent.

The fact of the matter is that Americans are shifting toward liberal views on religion and same sex rights.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Yeah, so I have noticed.

personal opinion is close to the norm on those two subjects. Realize when you read a focus on the family peice, you are seeing the hard right at its worst. I does not take away how close they got it.

Okay, I get your point now I think. I'm sorry I misunderstood you originally.

fuck, the way I post, I can lose myself at times....

 

[crandc]

Yeah, I've seen that.

each one of these changes could happen

And the earth theoretically could be impacted by a huge meteor and go careening into the sun. It could happen. Nothing in the laws of the physical universe says otherwise.

But I am not planning for it.

Nor will I give credence to a hate group.

I'm going to be pedantic and say the earth would explode before we had a large enough force to knock us into the sun.

Makes it hard to understand sometimes, and tiring to decipher. But hey, nobody here pays you to post so it is what it is.

That's okay.

NASA's got your back.

Hey Maris:

[speeds]

Focus on your own damn family.

 

[Denny Crane]

I don't agree with anything I've seen from them, but they have every right to exist and to lobby govt. and to speak out on the issues as they see them.
