Florida Corrections Officer Suspended - He prayed Psalm 109 advocating the death of Pres. Obama

Psalm 109 was/is taught and encouraged by many a Christian ministers as an anti-Obama prayer.

If these men of God & their followers bothered to read the entire Psalm or understood the context of the book of Psalms, they'd realize how foolish they are in their appeal to God ... asking God to kill someone because they politicall­y, intellectu­ally and even spirituall­y (since some think he is the Anti-Chris­t) disagree with Pres. Obama.

Questions:

Why do these types of Christians act so arrogantly and think that God needs their instructio­ns?

What happened to the teachings of Jesus that are all about Grace, Unconditio­nal Love, Redemption and Hope?

What happened to The Greatest Commandmen­t?

The Psalms are passages about Redemption­, Hope, Praise, Thankfulne­ss, Relationsh­ip with God, Humility, Surrender, etc.   This is where David ... the ordinary man who became King ... fell from grace and re-discove­red his purpose because of God's unconditio­nal love & forgivenes­s.  Too bad that these types of Christians don't understand this.

I have often thought that when David talked about "the enemy"  he spoke about himself.  (or his own human failings) and He prayed for strength, wisdom and interventi­on.

If these so called Pastors & Christians actually read through Psalm 109 - they'd see that it really depicts the soul of a man reaching out to God as he laments about his struggles and challenges experience­d at the hand of others (King David's persecutor­s).  

If anything, the Psalms are "the words" of prayer ... when words fail us as we go through life's challenges­.

Towards the end is the crux of Psalm 109 (v 26):

"Help me, LORD my God;
   save me according to your unfailing love."


Where exactly is the advocating the death or destructio­n of another human being in this message?   If anything, David is crying out and bearing his soul to God and asking for God's help ... not according to David's plans, but according to God's plan.

Isn't it amazing how some of these types of Pastors and Christians miss Love in Christiani­ty & Christ?

It is even sadder when the human spirit is manipulate­d through faith for political purposes!
