1 | Should we call gov;t leaders' sin sin? | Luke 3:19 | koinekid | 15689 | ||
Based on Romans 13, should Christians offer absolute deference to the government to the point of refraining from pointing out the sinfulness of personal actions of governmental officials, i.e., ignore the sexual exploits of former President Clinton and Senator Condit? I've been engaged in an e-mail debate with the author of an inflamatory book on the subject (who would go so far to say that Christians should avoid voting since God appoints governmental leaders), and would like some input from fellow believers. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks, koinekid Upholding Scriptural Accuracy, Integrity, Immutability, and Relevancy: Working toward the glory of God and the salvation of man. |

2 | Should we call gov;t leaders' sin sin? | Luke 3:19 | Searcher56 | 15757 | ||
koinekid, I thought about Nathan coming to David and said "You are the man" (2Sa 12:7) ... it was David who said he sinned (vs 13). Samuel got after Saul (1Sa 13:13ff) at least once. Jesus got after the Jewish leaders on several times, including Matthew 23. A leader needs to be willing to be rebuked and say that he sinned. Steve |
