I'm not sure I agree. It was the people of Israel who asked Samuel to appoint them a king in 1 Samuel 8. God thought it was a bad idea and asked Samuel to let them know what they were in for. Samuel's response would make any libertarian proud.
Yes, that's a very good point. I'm on team "king", but only just, exactly because of this.

'If you are a Christian, you have to believe...' Is pretty strong language for someone only just on team 'king' ;). Thanks for posting. I've been thinking about it all day.
Authority is much broader than kingship. Fatherhood is a much stronger example than kingship in my book.
