Ok, enough of this ridiculous ‘God has decided...” nonsense. What, is he deciding if I have pizza for lunch or take a nap???? WE allowed this commie prick to usurp power right under our ugly noses! WE let it happen.

I think we are in the beginning period of Revelation and that Obama plays some part in all of this whether he is aware of it or not. God is always in control. It does not mean we won’t suffer while the show gets on the road though; it just means that we’re following the script. We are going to have to change our lifestyles obviously.

Let nothing disturb thee
Let nothing dismay thee
All things pass
God never changes
Patience attains all that it strives for
He who has God finds he lacks nothing
God alone suffices.

And the Catholic entities still need to go forth with their lawsuits and every church should join them.

Now we will have a pathway to the one world govt. The powers that be will have the following mantra: “You may have eternal life in heaven, but on earth your a$$ is mine!”

Well my rosary bead thumping, mass every day, sister-in-law, who would fight to her death to defend Obama, will continue to pray.

God is punishing our country as He did Israel of old when they went whoring after other gods and forgot their covenant with Him. Each of us should repent of our sins and should give our time, talent and treasure into renewed service of Jesus. We should not support anything that does not glorify God, and that includes this country when it encourages evil.

That being said, the time for mourning for the death of America will be over soon. Christians should pour their efforts into serving their Lord and Savior in their thoughts, words and deeds. Take care of yourself and your family. Help each other on the way to Heaven, for that is our eternal country, free from sadness and evil of every kind.

The average Christian in America sees America as God’s shining light in the world. It is our natural tendency to think of ourselves as God’s primary tool for evangelism to all corners of the earth.

However, if you take a careful look at America’s “Christian” history over the last few decades, what do you see?

Do you see an ever increasing population of Christians? or a declining one?

Now ask yourself this question:

What is more important to God?... The salvation of America as a free country? or the eternal salvation of as many Americans as possible?

Now this follow up question:

Under which American form of government (based on our track record as a nation) is the climate set for the maximum number of souls to be won for Jesus Christ?
When you look oversees and see what is going on with the explosion of Christianity and the corresponding increase in the persecution of Christians, What are you to conclude about where America truly stands in the eyes of God?

Time to repent American Christians... it’s our only hope for the healing of this land.

Pray for this country, harder than you’ve ever prayed for anything in your life.

I have never seen a man spend half a century on this earth and yet accumulate so little wisdom as Barack Hussein Obama.
Pray that the Lord will keep him from making the fatal mistakes.

Something is amiss here IMO. The crouds were just too large for Romney and not there for odingo.
I don’t think the majority of America voted for the people that boooed God.

We are the Jews of the Old Testament. The pendulum swings back and forth. They turn their back on God, he punishes them, they embrace him, he rewards them, they turn their back on him...you get the picture. I’m just disappointed I won’t live long enough to see the pendulum swing back the other way.

I was telling my pastor the other week... what if Hitler HAD to happen to force the creation of Israel.

I believe this is the first of tribulation and Obama does play a part.

He seems to fit some of the features of the Anti-Christ.

I imagine Israel is crying right now. Obama was horrible to them when he wasn’t a lame duck.

It’s time for Christians to stop honoring this humanist creation and incorporating it into the churches, our families and our value system.

We should not make deals with the devil and try to fit into it’s nothingness. We should work within our own communities of Christians and put our charity, support, strength and sympathy there. We need to put our energy into re-connecting with love and marriage relationships and family. Let the barbarians do their thing because we can not and will not stop them.

I believe in the Bible word for word, I do not believe in cafeteria Scripture reading, however God gave us free choice, The American people, majority chose evil over good.

God did NOT make them go out and vote for evil, they did it all on their own. So yes I believe in the Scriptures 154%, but at the same time, people voted for evil over good, out of their own evil hearts, so lets not blame God for their NON Christian evil hearts.

Many/most of US Churches are filled with NON Christians and Non Christian pastors...They might just as well eat drink and be merry, because they certainly do NOT love Jesus...

They can Not love Jesus and vote to abort God`s Children, not even debatable, not to mention that their vote also is a vote to have the Name Of Jesus removed from classroom/public square etc

NOT the first time America chose evil over good, Any Democrat is just as bad as Obama..The American people that voted Obama in are every bit as evil as Obama

So lets not blame God by saying this was his will, American people by their free choice, with their evil hearts voted this guy in, God did not will them to do it, they chose evil over good all by themselves

I'd bet that he got a very large percentage of the Jewish vote and quite a few dollars.

Bottom Line: Israel you're on your own and you'll be lucky if 0bama doesn't line American up against you!
