Bible Question: Was there a law that said our foreparents had to stay? I believe they were free to leave ... just as we are now. We can renounce our citizenship and swear alligence to another ... which happens when people become citizens of the USA. |
Bible Answer: Searcher, is there a law that says that we must stay under the dominion of the prince of this world or are we free to place our allegiance with the King of Kings? I agree with brother Hank who recently wrote that we all have the opportunity to "choose whom you will serve." (Jos 24:15) I suspect our forefathers felt the same way. Blessings, mommapbs |
