"President Obama, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believests?"
Then President Obama said to the Apostle Paul:
"Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."
"Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."
While this never took place, a similar event involving the Apostle Paul and King Agrippa did take place in the first century A.D. You can read about it in Acts 26. But if the Apostle Paul were to have an audience with President Obama, I have no doubt that he would not have given his opinion on Obamacare. He would not have tried to persuade the President to cut back on government spending. He may have sharply rebuked the President for his support of same sex marraige and abortion, but I think what the Apostle would have said to the President would have been similar to what Dr. David Murray says in his sermon:
And then when/ if the President told the Apostle Paul to go his way the apostle may have softly sung the hymn:
1. "Almost persuaded," now to believe;
"Almost Persuaded" Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say,
"Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On Thee, I'll call."
2. "Almost Peruaded," come, come today;
"Almost persuaded," turn no away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, come!
3. "Almost persuaded," harvest is past!
"Almost persuaded," doom comes at last!
"Almost" cannot avail
"Almost" is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail -
"Almost," but lost!
If Mitt Romney had won the election, and the Apostle Paul were to be standing in his presence - in handcuffs and leg irons - I'm sure Paul's words to Mr. Romney would have been the same as if he were talking to Mr. Obama. And perhaps Mr. Romney would have responded the same way that King Agrippa responded to Paul: "Almost thou persuadest me to become a Christian!
And if the Apostle Paul prayed - if would be for Mr. Romney's soul, and not 'with Mr. Romney for America,' as Evangelist Billy Graham did recently (right after removing Mormonism from their website as a cult; see Evangelical Giant Compromises Again).
