I found the May 20 syndicated column by Cal Thomas concerning President Barack Obama’s ignorance of the Bible to be right on target.
There is nothing more annoying to a genuine born-again Christian than to have a fake Christian in public office, especially the presidency. Obama obviously forgot to read in First Corinthians where almighty God sternly warns that “adulterers and homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (I Corinthians 6:9,10)
This moral issue is much more serious than politics or equal rights. The Bible describes God’s personality as being extremely merciful but he also has a very severe judgment side. We are talking about an awesome creator who could squish his planet Earth like a ripe blueberry if he so desired. We have lost our fear of God.
George Washington once stated, “It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.” This country was founded by strong Christian leaders and Billy Graham also had a strong influence in the White House, from Harry Truman to George W. Bush.
But now we have a weak and arrogant president who has decided to shake his fist in the face of the almighty.
