Bible Note: Hello Alienresident; Just a quick question. In a nation where the people are free to chose their leader is it realy God who selects the leader or does man? Where the people have the right to select their leader I believe that the authority is not in the individual but in the office the person holds. The person we have placed in that office recieves and excersises the authority that God gives to that office or position. If we have the right to put a person of our chosing in a position where they can excersise the authority that God gives to that position. I would say that we should excersise our right to put the person we believe would be less likely to abuse that authority. And if we have the opertunity to put a person in there who would excersise it in a Godly way so much the better. |
