Subject: Obey your leaders ? |
Bible Note: Dear grafted, I don't mean to be picky here, and you are correct in saying that the people living in the greater part of the world at the time of Jesus and beyond to the early Church times had no recourse as to who their leaders would be, but they didn't have kings, they had Emperors, or, Caesars. Pretty much the same thing as a king, and it most often was also by birthright. Good post too though, 'well said', and I agree with you that we have a responsibility to keep our leaders honest. I'll leave it at that though, because you are right in saying you may have oversteped, (No problem though, it isn't the first time someone has done that. I don't think anyone will hang you :-)) this forum is not a platform for political debate or discussion, but as to our gracious hosts wishes and indeed their behest, SBF is intentionally and by design, exclusively incepted for the purpose of Bible study.
