In the first century they were under a different government. Our government allows for dissent theirs did not. The position in opposition to our government is not in violation of scripture.

LE, sorry to tell you, but you directly violate Scripture with your position.
In the first century...Paul dealt with leaders as corrupt (maybe even more so!) than Obama...and you see what he wrote.
So...if you choose to disobey Scripture, that's your peroagative....but you are disobeying. Scripture is quite clear on this issue.
Rbell <--not in the least an Obama supporter...but I recognize what is a clear Scriptural mandate.

Many on here did vote for him. He is their president. I have had no president for quite a few years. If you want to claim Obama as your president, it is your choice. People who aren't "progressives" in this nation don't matter to Obama, especially Christians, because he has claimed that America is a muslim nation, haven't you heard? And his wife has never been proud of America (until she moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue). And as the man who holds the title, I have never heard any words about how wonderful this nation is when he bows to muslim kings abroad or speaks as the "citizen of the world." That being the case, I look forward to the day when Obama will appoint an End-of-Life czar to euthanize me as a fiscal liability because I am over 50 and may have potential health issues because I am not a person of color or of his ideology (if his health care plan goes through). Perhaps he will be kinder to some of us than he is to the babies he leaves to die on dirty piles of laundry but I don't count on it.
And I'm sorry if you think I sound arrogant. Anything I might write on this forum PALES in comparison to the arrogant squatter in the WH. You can believe he was genuinely elected to be the president if you want to, but I believe he is there by fraudulent votes (ACORN), coercion (of Hillary), deception, and intimidation. And I don't even think he is a natural born citizen, either. You can claim him, I don't, and never will. Some day you and others may think about what I've written here when Barack's Executive Orders are carried out under Martial Law. Oh, and that will be coming the next time there is a bad terrorist attack. You can count on it. Pray for him if you feel you are "commanded" to do, but the better thing would be to confront him and follow the examples of Paul and Daniel, IMO. My prayer is that God Jehovah delivers us from BHO's evil.
