The Obamafication of American Christians

As the news that the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, ordered the declassification of the evidence that Barak Obama was behind the treasonous coup plot to undermine and even overthrow the first presidency of Donald Trump, millions of American Christians are soon to face an uncomfortable dilemma because they actually believed Obama to be an honorable man who served presidentially for "two scandal-free terms". 

And Obamagate, as the coup has been called, was mocked by the same Christians (including NeverTrumper ones) as a right-wing conspiracy theory held by Christian Trump supporters. They simply have believed the fake news media's reporting all along. (and still do as the same news outlets they rely upon are trying to spin things even now to defend Obama and the fake narrative they all pushed).

The dilemma will only be compounded as these Christians will soon be confronted with the realization that virtually everything they believed about Obama was/is a lie. 

My prayer is that what is currently being exposed will lead to Americans, and American Christians in particular, to the conclusion that no one person has done more to destroy the United States of America and its values than this man. I realize it was by demonic design and that there were/are others behind Barak Obama, but he has been the single most important tool they have used to sow the destruction I am describing.

What the millions of American Christians also don't realize/understand is that Obama has also done more to destroy Biblical Christianity in America than any other single influence in the past 20 years.

It is this perversion within the Christian church that I have entitled the "Obamafication of American Christianity". I actually looked up the term 'Obamafication' and there were a few Urban Dictionary definitions - 1. "The act of being so caught up in a man, Barak Obama, that one loses sight of the issues" (clearly what happened to millions of Christians!) and 2. "The act of being excited about change, especially in the United States. (there sure was a lot of change, for the worse!) 3. The process of restoration and repair. (the 3rd one is laughable - rather it should be degradation and destruction!). 

I will add my definition here as it pertains to Christians.

Christian Obamafication: the act of slowly abandoning historically-held conservative Biblical values and beliefs and subsequently reinterpreting the Bible to support newly adopted unBiblical positions and beliefs that only became mainstream since Barak Obama became president in 2008.

Don't get me wrong. The Christian faith has always been under assault. False teachings had to be addressed by the Apostles in the 1st Century and heresies have arisen all throughout the history of the Church. 

What makes this current assault somewhat unique is that confessing CONSERVATIVE Evangelical Christians have abandoned Biblical Christian beliefs/values/positions while still considering/calling themselves conservative Evangelicals. (For a thorough handling of this phenomenon, I highly recommend Megan Basham's bombshell 2024 book, Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.)

Why do I call this Christian Obamafication? 

Take Barak Obama's stance on gay marriage. In order to get elected in 2008, he "changed" his position to be against it and then once in office reverted back to be in support of gay marriage claiming his ideas were "evolving". Fast forward to 2025, and Obama is the most radical proponent of the most extreme aspects and elements of the LGBTQ+ agenda. 

Christianity from its foundation has decried the sin of racism. America's systemically racist past, especially in the South, was in our rear-view mirror as a country. Racial divisions in America were continuing to go down to arguably the lowest point in our nation's history. (of course, racism has always existed in man's sinful condition). 

But somehow after Obama's 2008 election an entirely new narrative emerged and America and Americans, especially white Americans, were systemically racist. Beginning with the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in 2012, which was followed by Michael Brown's death at the hands of police officer Darren Wilson in 2014 and culminating in George Floyd's death in 2020 the "America is largely racist and bitterly divided along racial lines" narrative was believed by millions. This was NOT the case before 2008. Rather than champion the truth about the deaths of the aforementioned men, Obama served to promote falsehoods about the tragic deaths of those men that had resulted in a more divided America than we have seen since the 1960s. Don't forget that President Obama promoted Black Lives Matter (BLM), a racist marxist organization, hosting their leaders multiple times in the White House.

Obama promoted Socialism, defended lies that fueled the Defund the Police movement, advocated for Open Borders, held to many Marxist ideologies (such as Queer Theory, Critical Race Theory), endorsed Sanctuary Cities, and was the most radical abortion advocate of any American president in history. I could go on but pretty much any and every idea/position that is called "progressive" today was/is held by Barak Obama. Note: Progressive is a synonym for unBiblical and immoral.

Many of these ideas were not held by most Americans, and most definitely not by the majority of conservative American Christians. But that all changed during Obama's two presidential terms and the subsequent years. I've already cited his view on gay marriage above. No one would have endorsed the vast majority of the tenets of the Transgender movement in 2008. Look where our nation is today? Well-meaning Americans have been so duped by the deception of the movement, that even loving parents would agree to the bodily mutilation of their own children, if they identified as the other gender!

What does all of this have to do with the church? Rather than defend the historically Christian position on the issued mentioned above, many within Conservative Evangelicalism, were SEDUCED into affirming many of the same issues. They were effectively "Obamafied" - Again, I will refer to Basham's book as she demonstrates multiple ways this happened. But essentially today you have card-carrying members the leadership of the Evangelical Church in America that are pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-Gay marriage as Christians, socialists, ideological Marxists (Critical Race Theory is being taught in Evangelical seminaries today), who promote nearly all of the things Obama represents - hence the term "Christian Obamafication". And yes, they have worked extremely hard in the past 20 years to re-interpret the Bible, redefine Biblical terms/concepts to support their novel "Christian" positions. (again, see Basham for extensive evidence). 

In the same way that Obama has been/is being exposed for being a phony who portrayed himself to a man of integrity and honor - he was a phony Christian, a phony supporter of of traditional marriage, a pathological liar who has proven to be more corrupt than any other American president (Some believe LBJ was even worse!). In short, he has been none of the things people believed him to be. So too, will these false shepherds, the ones who Basham has demonstrated were/are "for sale", be exposed for their betrayal of all things Christian. Socialism and Marxist ideology are incompatible with historic Christianity (this includes all the offspring of Marxism - Critical Theory, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, Social Justice, Intersectionality, White Privilege). Abortion and homosexuality are entirely condemned by the Apostolic faith. Open Borders that serve to destroy a nation (violence, drugs, trafficking, terrorism and economic ruin) are condemned throughout the Bible. 

All of these things are irreconcilable with Biblical Christianity – these ideologies have different views of sin, salvation, gender, sexuality, marriage and objective truth (right/wrong). God has ordained authority structures within society (Marxism deems them as “oppressive power structures”).

As encouraged as I am that much of evil is currently being exposed, and I can attest to many Christian organizations have already corrected course where they had adopted for a season some of these ideologies, there are other Christian leaders, churches and organizations that are only drifting further into apostasy.  God commanded ALL of His people to leave Babylon. Some decided to stay behind. Even when they physically left, God still rose up prophets whose message was "make sure Babylon is out of you." I believe the word of the Lord to such Christians is GET BABYLON'S IDEOLOGIES OUT OF YOU AND MINISTRIES!

I am hopeful that the horrible experiment in American History called Barak Obama will be universally accepted as being just that. I pray that the "Obamafied Christians" who have ingested and baptized his ideology, will repent, forsake what is false and return to their Biblical roots.
