Today is Martin Luther King Day. Tomorrow Barak Obama will be sworn in as our county's next president. It is a historical day just for the fact that America has elected her first African American president. Beyond that, my excitement has faded. I am not against Obama, neither am I for him. My stance is I will wait and see what he does in office. It's a shame that he is coming into a mess of a situation. The economy is bad, our nations moral standing has taken another turn, and if you are against anything that the populace says, then you are branded an outsider and you are not living up to the American way of life.
On the other side, I have found many believers in the Messiah who number one want Obama to step down from the presidency because it is their belief that he is ineligible to sit in the oval office. I read an article on worldnetdaily.com that states the writer is praying for Obama to fail as president. It is his belief that Obama is evil and his policies are agaisnt what the bible says. Therefore he is praying for Obama to fail. I am in agreement that Obama's policies very well may be against biblical standards. But I do not agree with praying for him to fail. I believe that all of us no matter what have an opportunity to repent. Obama is no different. none of us were born with a bible in our blankets and we do not have the right to condemn anyone which I believe the writer of the story on WND is doing.
I have said many times before, I do not trust most politicians. The higher you get in politics, the more compromises you have to make. I have seen good people become politicians with very good intentions, who want to change the status quo for their neighborhoods. I am all for those things. It is unfortunate that these rookie politicians become intorduced to the real world of politics by those who have been in it for awhile. they are forced to make decisians that they never would have made before. And it is the same with Obama. I have no doubt that he started off with very good intentions. And he probably still has very good intentions. But he is and has been in the position where he has had to compromise, lie, cheat, and what ever else to make it to the oval office.
Obama has already stated that he cannot make decisions based off of the bible. His reasoning is the same as a lot of people who say they know G-d and Know the bible but do not have a clear understanding of a lot of things in the, "Old Testament". Obama has said said we do not stone people do we? That is the answer most people would give. But that is because we do not understand that G-d just didn't have people going around stoning people for every little reason. Our thoughts are truly not His thoughts and our ways are truly not His ways.
Israel knew that in order to try a crime, there must be 2 or 3 unbiased witnesses to the crime. When I say unbiased, it is not unlike our justice system where we have a jury of people who are supposed to be unbiased and unopinionated of the person who is on trial. This was borrowed from the Torah (the first 5 books of the bible). This is why I am so very against condemning Obama's presidency before it has had a chance to begin. When we cast judgement, no matter how many facts we think we may have, we are acting in G-d's place. We have formed an opinion and have executed judgement long before we do our research to see if the so called facts that we do have are true or false.
It is my prayer that Obama is introduced to the true G-d of Abraham, Isaak, and Jacob. The G-d that sent His only Son to pay the price for us. When we are the ones who are guilty. None of us are righteous. Not one! We gave President Bush chance after chance after we the people elected him twice on the premise that he is a G-d fearing man. It was very disturbing to hear him say that he believes that the god of the Muslims is the same G-d we believe in.
If Obama's presidency is overturned somehow, I would like to know who would be next as our nations presient and how different would that person be? Would it be Sen. McCain by default? Does anyone truly believe that the policies for America would be that different to what they are going to be starting on Tuesday? Have those who are filing lawsuit and lawsuit thought of this yet? Or is everyone just hell bent on removing Obama from office and didn't think of these answers just yet?
I am not suggesting that we just do as we are told no matter what. We need to continue to fight for our beliefs. Our nation is steadily moving away from the biblical beliefs and no matter who is the president that would be so. Every candidate has promised to compromise in the name of a unified United States. So that is why I ask who's next. Who would be the next person to say they are, "Christian", but then say that we are all believing the same god? Can someone please tell me? Because so far, all I have seen is more of the same.
Shalom in Messiah, Yeshua.
