Folks, this is blasphemy. There is ONE LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS THE CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 8:6, "yet for us there is ONE GOD, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and ONE LORD, JESUS CHRIST, through whom are all things and through whom we exist."
I am reminded of a similar situation that was recorded in Acts 12. There was a group of people with whom King Herod was angry. Wanting to appease him, those people came together, groveled, and then sat through a speech. Wanting to appease Herod even further, when he was done with his speech, the people all shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” Verse 23 of Acts 12 records, "Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, BECAUSE HE DID NOT GIVE GOD THE GLORY, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last."
This is not the first time that deity has been attributed to Pres. Obama. A page from a commemorative calendar being sold during the DNC conference in North Carolina features a photo of the birth certificate of Obama along with the words, "HEAVEN SENT, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16."
This is blasphemy of the highest order, something that God does not take lightly. Isaiah 42:8 records this statement by God: I AM THE LORD; that is MY NAME; MY GLORY I GIVE TO NO OTHER, nor my praise to carved idols." What applies to God applies equally to His Son, Jesus the Christ: "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one..." (John 10:29). Jesus used the primary name of God, I AM, as His own: "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am...'" (John 8:58).
It is truly time for the people of this nation to fall on our faces before God to confess this blasphemy, to throw ourselves on His mercy.
And to the PASTORS of the African-American congregations of this nation, "I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: PREACH THE WORD; be ready in season and out of season; REPROVE, REBUKE, AND EXHORT, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming (indeed, it is already here - added) when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears THEY WILL ACCUMULATE FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS TO SUIT THEIR OWN PASSIONS..." (2 Timothy 4:1-3).
