Bible Question (short): God's Right to Rule. |
Question (full): Brian, In asking this question, I am seeking to know how other Christians view God's fundamental right to govern men. For example, some see that the mere fact that God is Creator gives him that right. It seems to suggest the phrase I have heard in a movie, "I brought you into the world and I can take you out of the world." If something like this phrase is intended in understanding God's right to govern humankind (something, it seems, StJohn seems to suggest), it makes God's rule seem rather harsh. Is the mere fact that God created man the only reason why God has a right to rule over men or is there another more legitimate basis for understanding this divine right? |
