So I know some people consider Obama a Christian. He says he prays to Jesus. Fine.

Since he was a member of a United Church of Christ denomination church (though he left it: BTW: does anyone know what church he's joined in the meanwhile? Has he attended anywhere while campaigning?) which is theologically liberal, it raises the questions whether his beliefs about Jesus are anywhere near orthodox.

I haven't read the Audacity of Hope, but I came across this quote
When I read the Bible, I do so with the belief that it is not a static text but the Living Word and that I must be continually open to new revelation – whether they come from a lesbian friend or a doctor opposed to abortion.
So clearly, he isn't looking into the Bible itself for revelation, and his views on the Bible's authority are woefully inadequate for actual Christian life.

1. Does he actually believe Jesus rose bodily from the dead?

2. Does he believe Jesus was born of a virgin?

3. Does he believe Jesus is the second person of the trinity?

4. Does he believe that some day Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead?

I raised some of this on my blog months ago, and haven't found any answers in the interim. Is there any answer to these questions?
