You said — I’d post a comment but I don’t look forward to any little informal visits from the Black Panthe, er that is, the Secret Service!

Ummmm..., how are they going to “call on God”...?? LOL...

VERY well said Oldpuppymax.
Were this ass clown to take and early dirt nap I certainly would not go in to mourning.

Well, perhaps God has a sense of humor and could have the One do a David Carradine...with lots of press coverage, of course.

You asked — Why is this even posted here?

It sounds like a good prayer to me. I agree with it. Of course, I gave the “proviso” that I would add before asking God to do that, and remove Obama from living on this earth.

But, it’s a *perfectly fine prayer* — and one that all Christians should pray for (again, with the proviso of salvation, which should be for all, to be able to choose for themselves, and is always God’s first choice in the matter, that any person do choose Jesus as the Messiah of Israel for their own personal salvation — outside that — God can “take ‘em outta here!”).

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

And then you said — Why is anyone even giving a nut like this a microphone? It makes us all look bad.

Well, then, I’m here to make you look bad... LOL...

“Why is this even posted here? Why is anyone even giving a nut like this a microphone? It makes us all look bad.”

Agree, this is rabid stuff. Besides, if I were to offer any prayers in the matter, I would be much more inclined to pray for the health and long life of our current president, taking into account the persons who are next in line for the presidency.

I think this is quite problematic on a number of levels.

I think The Rabbi’s prayer regarding the Czar in answer to Tevya’s question about whether there was a bless the Czar . . .

Said

“May The Lord bless and keep the Czar far away from us.”

is a good one.

And, I pray that The Lord remove OThuga from public office as soon as His priorities allow.

I figure The Lord knows how best to do whatever He wants in such matters.

I realize that prayers SOMETIMES seem to give The Lord more options.

So, praying YOUR WILL, LORD,

is a great one.

I also suspect that the oligarchy pulling his puppet strings are setting him up to be a fall guy . . .

We shall see.

I don’t really need to pray for his leaving this sphere.

Let him see the horrors he’s visiting on us.

Hi Quix... :-)

You were saying — I think this is quite problematic on a number of levels.

Yeah, it’s basically problematic because people get queasy about God “taking people out”.... :-)

But, God does that sort of thing, and if someone is so evil and despicable and works against God’s plans (like, for instance, against Israel and their security and continued existence) then I would have no doubt that God will take him out.

However, I suspect that there is another component to God allowing Obama to be in there, in the office of President of the United States right now — and that has to do with the judgment of God upon this nation for its multitude of sins — and God has given the nation “what it deserves” — and the nation deserves Obama...

So, in that sense, if Obama is the judgment of God upon this nation, then I don’t hold out hope that God will remove him from this earth. And I do see that this is what Obama is.

When the nation repents..., then Obama may be “taken out” by God. But, since I don’t see it “in the works” that the nation is going to repent, I don’t expect God to relent on His judgment of the United States, compliments of Obama...

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

And then you quoted — “May The Lord bless and keep the Czar far away from us.”

Ummm.., that sounds more like a prayer that’s designed to keep him out of prison or being killed by the Czar... LOL...

BUT, in regards to the Lord’s will, it’s going to be as He has determined. It’s legitimate for people to pray for Obama’s removal from this earth at the hand of God, as that’s exactly what God does in many instances already, and He is righteous and no one can call God “to account” for such things. If He does so, there’s nothing we can say about it.

And, as I said before, about that proviso..., I think that would also be what God has in mind for all of us, in that He grants His grace (i.e., common grace) to all of us, in order to bring us to the salvation that is in Jesus, the Messiah of Israel. If one doesn’t repent and turn to Jesus, the Messiah of Israel for their own personal salvation, the time for life on this planet can be shortened at any time, at the hand of God...

Do you like our erstwhile death-wishing reverend also believe that Roeder was hired by the Obama administration?

This rot has no place with truly intelligent people. I can’t even begin to express my level of disgust.

Agreed. Conservatism is being dumbed down from an intellectual and philosophically reasoned political system of governance to hillbilly solutions to everything.

Mine is really simple... God gives Obama the opportunity to accept the Messiah of Israel as his personal savior, according to the Scriptures of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

And if he refuses and hardens his heart against God and His Messiah, then my prayer is to “take out Obama” by the direct hand of God, in living in this world.

It’s just that simple... (and you don’t have to add any other ingredients to the mix...)....

And lastly you said — This rot has no place with truly intelligent people. I can’t even begin to express my level of disgust.

Well, “disgust away” because it’s not going to change the views of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and taking out anyone whom He wants *gone* from this world of the living. And it’s not going to change my views either, of what God can and will do.

All are deserving of death — by God’s decree and by His hand — short of the life-giving salvation of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, according to the Scriptures of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

That would include Obama too.

I don’t want him to die in office - I want his sorry ass thrown out, either by impeachment or by popular vote in the next election.

I would rather see Obama hang himself like David Carradine (like some auto-sexual-asphyxiation routine), while in office. That would be quite appropriate for Obama...

Anyone who prays for the death of another is no Christian.

"...But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;..."

I have to agree with other posts here; where was the outrage with the evil committed by the left against GWB?

If one of us burned 0bama in effigy, we would quickly find ourselves in jail.

Oh..., and since you mentioned Roeder, let me give you a scenario for what the government should do and the order in which it should do it...

The government should make all abortion illegal, with death penalties handed down for any who participate in any way...

Order of death penalties...

1. Death penalty for any parent who aborts their own child.
2. Death penalty for any person who decides to shoot an abortionist and/or staff
3. Death penalty for any abortionist.
4. Death penalty for any supporting staff in an abortion facility.

I would imagine that after #1 and #2 is completed, you won’t find anyone left who is doing anything in the #3 or #4 positions...

As you know . . . I rarely disagree with you.

Am just trying to exercise some wisdom for me in this context on this issue.

I’m . . . over a lot of folks . . . lines re notions of . . . reasonableness on a lot of issues as it is.

In principle, I don’t have a lot of disagreement with you.

GOD IS GOD AND ALWAYS WILL BE GOD.

Happy to pray for God to have His way in such matters.

Yes, I know... and that’s fine. I really do expect a lot of people to disagree with me on this one... :-)

It’s no problem...

"If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around, I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause him death, that's correct."

Why doesn't he pray that Obama will simply turn to God. PERIOD ?

The one goes with the other, because it’s up to Obama (or anyone else, personally) to decide for themselves, whether they will accept God’s grace and salvation, through Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, according to the Scriptures from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

And if they don’t (and *especially* with someone in Obama’s position, who affects an entire nation and millions of people and even the nation of Israel, itself) — then it should be a prayer for God to *take them out of this world* to keep their evil from continually being perpetrated among millions in this world.
