I like it, but how do you then explain Romans 13:1, or Titus 3:1, or 2 Peter 2:13, 14?
Discussion
none of those put human authority above God
meekness is a key quality promoted by Jesus because those who are proud and violent are tools of Satan
you can't have a just government when you presume to use force to bring it, that's the whole point
if the government has been taken over by evil, then we are obliged to do what we can to stop them doing harm and to ultimately expose their degeneracy
Well government IS force, as George Washington once said. I was questioning nostr:nprofile1qqsfp6eqxe8w5g7ryzm4q3mtxemjk56ghu5kp5xkh22pywd9wm9rz5qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0sek008's insinuation that human governments are invalid, in light of the scriptures that seem to argue that Christians should submit to them.
Perhaps we are to submit
even though we know they are illegit. 🫠
Except for when they call for us to disobey God.
it says "submit" not "worship" there's a big difference i think
