Subject: Governmental Authority? |
Bible Note: gracefull, i think we are beginning to miss each other about the points of contention. -"So you believe America was a man made decision and God just took advantage of our ingenuity?

Surely not as odviously but they are taking place." my point of talking about the Roman persecutions was to say that the early Church had a much rougher persecution than those that started the american revolution. -"What exactly IS bothering you?: i'm just trying to figure out a Christian's place in relation to governmental authority. thanks again, Montag |
