Bible Question:
I guess my ultimate question in Romans 13 question is when do men obeying God's laws supercede man's when it's in conflict to God's law. ( for ex. in a hitler -style regime what if you were told to kill Christians. Would you have to obey Paul in Romans or half the Bible elswhere where it says to love your brother. ) How could Paul have stopped killing Christians, as law must have prescribed when he was Saul before his conversion and be Christ-like at same time.) Romans 13 seems to leave that out of the question, and would contradict us living out a Christian life making us choose things that would not be of God's will according to OT. (ten commandments) |
Bible Answer: Dear dnewland, Confusion always reigns when considering a passage in an isolated way. Consider all of the other passages that have bearing on a question like this. Aren't we to walk in wisdom and understanding? Don't we have many examples (Joseph, Moses, Daniel, Jeremiah, Christ, the apostles, etc.) of men who knew when and where to draw the line? Don't we have a Father who will grant us wisdom when we ask? Our faith is not a faith of knee-jerk rules. Rather it is a faith of careful thought, contemplation, and prayer. In Him, Doc |
