Bible Question: Is President Bush in violation of Romans Chapter 13:1-6? According to contract with the United Nations, signed by the agents of the United States, the United Nations is the United States ruling authority. The United States is bound by the laws and rules of the United Nations, their ruling authority. According to Koffi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations the war in Iraq is illegal. So, according to Romans Chapter 13:verse 1-6, is Bush a willful sinner? |
Bible Answer: Copied for reference: Rom 13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. I would have to say this rather serious question warrants a careful evaluation. After doing such careful thinking, I can't agree with the "modern interpretation" from Mr. Ehud, if indeed that is true. Remember the then modern writers of the KJV (16th century) misinterpreted the word baptizo for King James to allow his abuse of its original meaning. With respect to Rom 13, it should be said that our President is NOT under the subjection of the UN as we DON'T pay taxes to this organization. We contribute to its on-going operation and maintenance but if we decide to stop that contribution, they do NOT have the authority to require it of us. That's what the Declaration of Independence was all about, remember? Yes, my friend I agree that President Bush has made mistakes, maybe even some major flubs and sometimes he does sound like a cowboy but that's probably because he is one...from Texas, no less. So I find myself in support of him as he is far more a Godly man than his immediate predessesor whom I won't even name. I served in the military under him and lost ALL respect for him. Sorry, but I just had to throw in my two cents' worth. God bless all who love our country and will assist in turning her around back again to true devotion to being a Godly nation. Rowdy |
