It’s too late to pray for a man once he’s dead. “It is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment.” His soul is in the Lord’s hands...where it always was.
I am particularly fond of that passage you mentioned. Christ’s command to His disciples to shake the dust from their feet is a real lesson for Christians today. We need to accept there are people who will never believe or like us and move on. We should stand for the truth regardless of the opinions or actions of others.
By the way, I have trouble hating anyone. Obama rises as close to hatred as I ever get, but at his core, Obama is just another confused and profoundly pathethic lost man. He believes himself wise, but he’s a fool. He puts on an act that convinces some, but I suspect he’s a lonely, bitter, and scared little man. Like Pharoah, I believe the Lord raised Him to great heights so that he would ultimately take a great fall. “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?” I pity all lost men. I can’t imagine traversing this life without the knowledge that I am eternally safe in Christ. I praise Him for the mercy and grace He has shown me!
