Subject: Did American Revolution violate Rom 13:1 |
Bible Note: Thanks for the synopsis, That’s interesting and you are quite the history buff. Since the subject is the Bible and not who shot John and why, I’ll try will keep it short. I was always taught that it wasn’t a revolutionary war but a war for independence but like I alluded to before, I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer; did I say that? I believe that God controls history and it sure looks like He knows what He’s doing. I read the end of the Book and we as believers in Jesus win! Paul had a good battle plan for believers to follow. 1 Tim. 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 2 Tim. 2:3-4 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. [4] No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And the fight goes on; have a great day, CDBJ |
