Hello, John and Doves,
 
Pineman, don't get your knickers in a twist.  Collateral damage is unavoidable in these days.
 
Nevertheless, it is written [Yeshua Ha Mashiach speaking],
    " 37All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:37-40  NIV
 
Not only that, but it is also written [again, Yeshua speaking],
    "27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than alld; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30I and the Father are one.”
John 10:27-30  NIV
 
Baruch HaShem Adonai Roi,
Mike C.

Dear Ed C & Fellow Watchers:

Very well written, Ed. Your post is like a breath of fresh air.

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.

The much better approach, and one I think compatible with the Gospel message, is that we should be praying for this leader, encouraging others to do the same rather than hurling unproven accusations at him.   

Thanks,
Pineman
