The Obama administration and America are heading into
treacherous territory. There are certain kinds of
behavior that seem to anger God more than others and
at this point, America is already on shaky ground.
President-elect Obama has asked V. Gene Robinson, the
openly gay Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire, to
deliver the invocation at a pre-inaugural event this
Sunday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Bishop Robinson said he had been reading inaugural
prayers through history and was "horrified" at how
"specifically and aggressively Christian they were."
He states, "I am very clear that this will not be a
Christian prayer, and I won't be quoting Scripture.
The texts I hold as sacred are not sacred texts for
all Americans, and I want all people to feel that this
is their prayer."
Robinson said he might address the prayer to "the god
of our many understandings," language that he said he
learned from the 12-Step program he attended for his
alcohol addiction. I'm sure that will please God and
He will pour out His blessings upon this nation.
Actually not.
God-hating nations have a short shelf life. I am not
suggesting that one prayer means we are a nation that
hates God. But inaugural events reverberate around the
world, literally. All civilized nations are watching
these events one way or another. God has blessed
America abundantly. He has kept us safe since 9/11. It
seems to me that activities that revolve around the
highest office in the land should acknowledge that. At
this point we do not even know if Rick Warren will do
so. I pray he does.
The root of America's problems today are not social or
even financial. They are spiritual. Too many in this
great nation have told God to take a hike. Is it any
wonder we are facing problems that are economic,
weather-related, crime-related, immorality-related,
and, well, you fill in the blank?
Romans 1:28 - 31 states, "And even as they did not
like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are
not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
backbiters, haters of God. . ."
Robinson is not a friend of God. He is ashamed of the
gospel and uncomfortable praying a "Christian" prayer
though the entire world may be watching.
Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs with Liberty
Alliance Action and Liberty Counsel, states, "It is a
shame that President-elect Obama apparently has so
little regard for his Christian constituents that he
would give such a high place of honor to a self-styled
man of God whose only claim to fame is that he
abandoned his wife and children to enter, loudly and
proudly, a sexually deviant lifestyle expressly
condemned by the very Bible he's ironically calling
'holy and sacred.' "
Barber continues, "Gene Robinson is little more than a
radical homosexual activist in a clergyman's clothing.
In fact, his heretical rebellion against God's express
natural order, coupled with his selfish refusal to
surrender his pulpit, has almost single- handedly
devastated the U.S. Episcopal Church."
It is doubtful that God's wrath was taught at Trinity
United Church of Christ. Obama was not informed that
there are consequences when we are in God's face. Yes,
this is a bone thrown to the gay community to heal
their wounds at the selection of Pastor Rick Warren,
but it is a dangerous one. God and His Word will not
be mocked.
Matt Barber concludes and rightly so, "As Gene
Robinson prays for Barack Obama on Sunday, I would
encourage all Bible- believing Christians to pray for
him. Pray for his wife and children he left for a lie.
Pray that he will repent, 'go and sin no more,'
bringing others with him to the salvation only Christ
can offer -- a salvation our nation and world so
desperately need."
Awaiting His return,

Sounds like he fell off the wagon, Oh, in case you didn't know ole Gene is an alcoholic, as well as a divisive foresworn abomination to God.

Is some one having batting practice ?
I keep hearing this odd "whop whop whop" sound. ;D
F them. If they throw me in jail I'll refuse bail, watch the outdoor channel on cable, lift weights and not work. Sounds pretty slack to me, oh, I won't be paying TAXES either ;D
Come to think of it I'm paying child support to Ca. they need all the $ they can get so I'm immune to that sort of thing ;D

by the way that is the reason there is always a dollar amount that can be added to the jail sentence, so that you will pay for your own incarceration. And therefore be "paying taxes" :o

I'd lose my job when I went to jail so I wouldn't be paying anything, what are they going to do about it, support me longer ?
It's better than me (us) supporting those drones.
