I said IF he is the one, he will be along the same lines as Judas Iscariot. Antichrist and Iscariot are the two most revilled people in history I would venture to say. If you feel led to pray for him by all means pray.

Why on earth would I say to anybody that I think Obama is the AntiChrist?
I meant a generalization of the term, 'you.' Not you in particular, I know you're in the obama is not the antichrist camp.

I have friends on both sides of the aisle (conservative & liberal) and I can't begin to tell you how hurtful this "Obama is the AntiChrist" campaign has been to my witnessing. In some circles this has become a laughingstock. I could really add fuel to the fire if I were to provide just a modicum of the so called proofs. Not even the Gospel message is laughed at as much as this "Obama is the AntiChrist" campaign, which is not even germane to salvation. I truly believe we lost more than we have gained.
I think your comments are desparaging. Maybe a different tone would make people more receptive to what your concern is.
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
But I get what you mean, some don't go about it in the right manner, not aligning it with Scripture.
May He bless you with understanding as we see the day approach,
