    I think you may have shown us that it is possible to achieve both titles.

    I am also torn.

    He is our president and we MUST pray for him.

    But his policies and those from whom he takes advice are clearly wrong in my estimation.

    May the Lord bless him with the mind of Christ and give him wisdom and courage to do the right thing.

    May the Lord protect him and his beautiful family.

    We seek a city not built with hands.

    The Bible also states that rulers are "not a terror to good works." So, those in office who ARE a terror to good works, are not rulers, but usurpers and tyrants. Therefore, they are not due any honor nor reverence. Quite the opposite. Jeering and flouting is their due.

    But what folks don't understand is that in THIS land, the President is not a ruler. The law (natural law) is the ruler.

    What was malignant in the poster? Is Obama not a socialist? Is socialism a monster or not?

    When the Spirit symbolizes human governments in prophecy, are they ravening beasts or angels?

    The poster is true.

    Besides, there is nothing personal about it. It is public. Christ's command to "resist not evil" does not extend to those who are public enemies. Loving one's neighbor as thyself, on the otherhand, demands that we resist those who would oppress our neighbors.

    The first five years of Nero's reign is referred to as the "quinquennium Neronis" and was legendary for it's order and peaceful administration. It was during the quinquennium Neronis that Paul was in prison and penned those words. Do not think that Paul would have Christians submit to the beast that Nero became, and who made war against them.

    Not sure of your eschatology, but there's no question in my mind that the beast of Revelation was Nero.

    The poster is not about Obama personally, but about Socialism and it's monstrous appearance. It is not only true, but proper.

    Edited: [but I want to thank you. I have better words for the acronym in my signature.]

    I guess everyone could be considered a fool, depending on who you ask.

    As far as being a hypocrite, I wasn't even a member of this board during Bush's presidency. I was not fond of him after the invasion of Iraq, but previous to this I thought he was alright.
