With friends like this as Christian spokesmen, who needs enemies? A pastor prays for the death of the president. I am sorry, but agree with the president or not, this is simply out of line.
Romans 13:1-3
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. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
I know that Paul was in prison when he wrote the book of Romans, but it was not for calling for the death of Caesar. The government at the time of the Apostle was wicked, corrupt, and totally anti-Christian. Yet God calls for us to be subject to the governing authorities.
