1 | Governmental Authority? | Rom 13:1 | gracefull | 74512 | ||
"Our task is NOT to determine which we will serve since the determination has already been made for us in Romans 13..." Yes Montag, God has commanded us not to be rebellious to governing authorities. I said Satan is loose and every country has evil and good...and yes it is our choice who we serve regardless of what governing body rules the country. We can be in submission to authority and faithful to God at the same time. I suppose I should have clarified that our enemy is not flesh and blood... " I understand that you think the US is responsible for sending the Gospel throughout the world. I would contend that is is CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS in the US that are responsible for that rather than the US as a whole." Note that I said in every country there is good and evil, and the US is no exception. But the liberty and the financial blessing God has provided for this country is the reason Christians have been able to spread the gospel. Of course in it's early years it was not as prosperous and technology was not as advanced. My point,MOntag is that God has odviously blessed America and I believe the reason He has is just as I said..'the propigation of the gospel'. " I said all that to make a point.." So you believe America was a man made decision and God just took advantage of our ingenuity? How does this conclusion line up with scripture? "There is no authority except from God..." What exactly is disturbing you? By your statements on the Roman Empire are you saying persecutions are not taking place today? Surely not as odviously but they are taking place. What exactly IS bothering you? |

2 | Governmental Authority? | Rom 13:1 | Montag | 74627 | ||
gracefull, i think we are beginning to miss each other about the points of contention. -"So you believe America was a man made decision and God just took advantage of our ingenuity? How does this conclusion line up with scripture?" no absolutely not.... i think God found willing believers in the United States and He called them to reach the lost in other countries. -"By your statements on the Roman Empire are you saying persecutions are not taking place today? Surely not as odviously but they are taking place." my point of talking about the Roman persecutions was to say that the early Church had a much rougher persecution than those that started the american revolution. -"What exactly IS bothering you?: i'm just trying to figure out a Christian's place in relation to governmental authority. thanks again, Montag |
