Bible Question: We are to respect andsubmit to all authority.How does this apply to us as a nation pertaining to war,and or removing another leader? |
Bible Answer: If you mean since they are all authorities. My response is that we are only under one national earthly authority. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. (Luke 20:25) The PM of the UK is an authority, but he is not my authority. He does not govern my land. He does not get my tax dollars, he is not owed my submission. Luke 16:13 says "No man can serve two masters." |
