TheRealThing Wrote:Nothing I ever saw in Romans 13 ever suggested that God appointed Barack Obama. I think that he became president because of the Lord's permissive will. I do accept that Barack became our president in 2008, and I do believe that as such I am to see to it that I don't resist him. That means I must not break the law in any point in order to oppose his presidency, I can assure you that I have never done that. I did see however, where I am to be subject to Barack Obama as leader of my country and further, that God ordained the various systems of governance to rule over the nations. That I suppose, would include folks like Vlad the Impaler, Stalin, Hitler, King Herod and others. You're not suggesting that the Lord wants Obama reelected too are you? In any event, a government headed up by Barack Obama is highly preferable to no government at all, evidenced by the so-called Arab Spring.Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Now, if I were to go out and join up with the "Occupiers" and torch a few cars or try to blow up a bridge, then I'm in open rebellion to my government. However, pointing out what I believe are the shorfalls of this administration are certainly among my "God Given Unalienable Rights" and that my friend is completely legal. Nor does that constitute in any degree an affront to the power or the office of president of the United States, or is that in any way disobedient to God. Here's another scripture for you, Acts 5:29 (KJV) 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Maybe it was time for the folks of this land to get a wake up call. And Obama was the man God chose to shock us into reality. Taking His name out of platform planks, and school hallways, expunging any reference of Him from the records and founding documents, shaking our fist in his face by enacting moral laws to legalize and facilitate the gay and lesbian agenda which, contradict his Holy Word, allowing the ACLU and others to get the courts to prohibit prayer from our schools just because they are in part funded by the government, demanding the name of God be stricken from government buidings and currency, and last but not least, the mindless slaughter of untold millions of innocent and precious little unborn babies, God acted similarly with the people of Israel when they backslid into a position which did not horor him as their God. The Hittites, the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Phillistines and the legions of Rome, are among nations that the Lord sent to bring down judgement on the inhabitants of Jerusalem for various sins that had beset them, thusly bringing shame on the face of God who was their sustainer, and on whom their laws were based. Who knows but for just such an occassion as this, God raised up Barack Obama? America should be ashamed, and it is high time we repented of our affronts to His Lordship, and bowed before Him as the one who provides and blesses the endeavors of this land.
Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
He put him in there the first time, what would make you think he doesn't want it that way again?
