“What about Obama being a Christian and doing a good job? You agree with your false prophet on that too?”

So do you want him to lose his 501 (c) by criticizing the President publicly, if he has one; the church probably does. Maybe there are some areas he thinks the President is doing a good job...I don’t know. That would be acceptable to say that if he did. Even if he thinks in 27 other issues the President isn’t. Respecting the office of the President is different than respecting the person in it.

I know that in the Bible we are to respect our government authorities in office. We may complain here on FR, but it isn’t likely we would be doing that on national TV without the platform to do so, where it would make a difference. And a business man would not hurt his employees by acting bizarre... criticizing pubic figures unless on the right platform....a pulpit is not the right platform for criticism of others publicly based on God’s word.

Conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, and how do you know which souls may or may not have come to God based on a service....are you a mind reader?

Oh by all means sell out to the Government by not speaking the truth!

If John the Baptist had just done that he would have avoided a lot trouble!

**a pulpit is not the right platform for criticism of others publicly based on God’s word.**

Tell it to John The Baptist and all of the OT Prophets.
