I was reading my daily bible passages and as I read the following excerpt it immediately made me think I know of a man like this. Can you guess which of our presidential candidates I am thinking of ????????????????? Your thoughts on this bible passage?
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23 NIV

This of course reminds me of our chameleon like Obama. He seems to think he can step into anyones shoes and just make himself a jack of all trades and cultures. Which is just another illustration that the old saying is very true cause he is master of nothing except BS. He is a very scary politician for sure, mired in his need to be appealing to all to the point where he can't hold an opinion long enough to make a decision.

I was trying to take the scripture in the positive light that Paul had put it in. I can see the presto chango of Obama, but to me this passage describes service, so I just did not think of Obama.

Whatever I may or may not be hiding is something you will never know. My opinions are mine. I guess this is why I don't like answering discussions about Obama, there is always someone that has to be crude.

Perhaps I do not know our candidates well enough, as it does not remind me of either of them. If it does you, then that is great, it lets you know how your mind is leaning.

Hi Whiteheather. Where have you been. I've missed you here and it's good to see you're back.
Actually, it doesn't especially remind me of either of the presidential candidates but it has elements in common with ALL polticians.

I've been here too. (Off and on as usual) Guess our paths just haven't been crossing. I almost never post.

Thanks for your response. Where have you been? I have been here every day just do not post as much as I used to. Too much in fighting and I only respond to some of my friends discussions if they interet me.
