Deepavali in the White House?

"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me."

- Exodus 20:1-3

Today, I was absolutely appalled to see this picture in the Star newspaper and to read the caption underneath:

Happy Deepavali, from Obama

President Barack Obama bowing with Hindu Priest Sri Narayanachar Digalakote in the East Room of the White House in Washington on Wednesday after lighting an oil lamp in observation of Deepavali, a holiday celebrated throughout the world. Obama became the first US President to personally take part in a White House ceremony for the festival of lights, lighting a ‘diya’ oil lamp.

President Obama celebrating Deepavali, a Hindu festival of darkness? Oh, no, Mr. President! Why have you done such a thing? Isn't the US supposed to be a Christian nation?

And this isn't the first time that you or your predecessors have done these kind of things. Didn't you, and Bush before you, open the White House to Muslims to break their Ramadan fast? In your speech to Muslims, you stated that "The US has never, and will never be at war with Islam." Hillary Clinton also promised that "Islam would have a home in the United States."

While it is true that we should never deny people the freedom to believe whatever they want to believe, TRUTH, by its very nature, is intolerant of error.

Tolerance has its place, but just what should we be tolerant of? It's people -people made in the image of God, whom He loves- that we need to be tolerant of, NOT their false beliefs which will take them straight to hell! If we truly love people, we will share the Good News of Christ with them with wisdom, tact, courtesy and respect for their humanity. Amen.

So please, stop celebrating pagan festivals which serve only to worship fake "gods", who are on Satan's team. Let us not see you or your successors open the White House and America to ungodly elements ever again. Oh, and that also means banning homosexuality, abortion, etc. and openly calling it sin! Don't worry, Mr. President. It is God, not the people, who keeps you in office.

The Bible says:

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. FOR THERE IS NO AUTHORITY EXCEPT FROM GOD, AND THE AUTHORITIES THAT EXIST ARE APPOINTED BY GOD.

-Romans 13:1

Mr. President, it is God who has made you the leader of a mighty nation, and no one else can remove you from office before the proper time.

As for the rest of us, let us all pray for President Obama that He may keep him pure and guide him in the ways of righteousness all the days of his life, for he is also one of Christ's sheep. Amen.
