One of the questions swirling around Barack Obama's candidacy is the question of whether he is Muslim or Christian. I have seen no convincing proof that he is Muslim. He has certainly had more exposure to radical Islamic teaching than any one else currently running for the highest office in the land. I believe he may be influenced by any part of Islam he deems politically expedient, but no, I don't believe he is a Muslim.

The follow on question will most certainly be "Then do you believe he is a Christian?" The short answer is no, he is definitely not a Christian by any Biblical definition. If any more proof is needed, a look at his effort to redistribute wealth is all the answer I need. He has even framed his position in terms of "virtue", pointing to a Biblical view as being "selfish". It must be deemed a good talking point because I heard Geraldine Ferraro argue that the Bible actually tells us that we should embrace the kind of "redistribution of wealth" advocated by Barack Obama. Michael Craven has it right when he outlines the nature of the description in Acts 2:

    When the Bible speaks of having “all things in common” and giving to “each as anyone had need,” 
    the writers were referring to material provisions (see Acts 4:32, 35). All earthly things are the 
    possessions of God: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who 
    dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1, ESV). Men are mere stewards of what belongs to the Lord and should 
    share the gifts of His creation with one another as much as they can. Some may suggest that in this, 
    the Bible advocates socialism; however socialism is a compulsory redistribution of wealth coerced by
    government, whereas Christian charity is voluntary, done out of love of neighbor and in obedience 
    to God. Christianity is completely opposed to the forced redistribution of wealth.

The emphasis is mine. Read Michael Craven's complete article here.
