Wishing judgment and wrath on God's enemies is righteous and good. At the same time, wishing forgiveness and grace upon God's elect, whom He has forknown from the foundation of the world is also righteous and good. The problem is, we don't know the eternal decree of God upon any one man. Obama is a wicked sinner who deserves an eternal hell of wrath. So am I, and yet I have been shown grace upon grace.
Perhaps a more Biblical prayer would be: If Obama is not one of your sheep, bring destruction on him swiftly and may he be forever damned! But if he is one of your chosen ones, called to be a vessel of your mercy, may he be granted repentence to the glory of your boundless grace. May you receive glory from him, whether by fierce justice or by unending grace. Amen.

My, my, such anger! I hope you would agree that the bible, in any version, cannot save. Only the Holy Spirit (Ghost for you) by his regeneration of the elect can save.

FYI, I prefer KJV, not because of its English, but because of the texts from which the English was translated. Only the original is the word of God. Everything else is a translation, only as good as the translator's ability allows and only as good as the text (subject to copying errors) can provide.

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Ephesians 4:2 (KJV)

BTW, I would be pleased to see modern scholars, using the texts that produced the KJV, create the same poetic, beautiful, but modern version for us today.

I used to say that I didn't like the KJV because I preferred an English version. Now I use the KJV because I see it as the truest translation from the most reliable texts.

Let's see, Cain vs Abel, Lot vs Abraham, Jacob vs Esau, et al., et al., et al. ...

God is still sovereign. Therefore Dobson need not fear the outcome of a political race between two unworthy candidates. Instead he should seek to find, endorse and vote for a worthy candidate where ever that candidate may be found. If there is no one who is worthy in his opinion, he should declare such and publicly and loudly sit this one out!

Dobson's obligation is to his conscience before God, not some egotistical idea that he is responsible for determining which unworthy person will become POTUS.
