Bible Question (short): Should we call gov;t leaders' sin sin? |
Question (full): 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?

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. |
