The Bible says that government leaders were appointed by God and should be obeyed. They’re pretty much completely fucked.
It goes a little deeper than that I think. Dont quote me but I think, "unless it goes against God" type of thing. Been awhile since ive studied. Im thinkin this goes against God. In first or second Timothy it says "study the word" sumthin sumthin.. kinda like snake handling churches dont realize "serpent" translates to "evil one" etc. Never "snake"
I was referencing Romans 13:1, but whatever it says it does seem to run contrary to the teachings of Jesus. It’s almost as though the content of the Bible has been tampered with over the centuries...
I get it. I think we all need to decide if we're willing to sacrifice our souls for our comfortable way of life. I refuse to buy into this. Ive done enough research to know this is all madness. It consumes me at times. The anger at the ignorant people. My own family and friends. FUCK! But it is what it is. I just keep talking to who will listen, pray and wait for the inevitable. Lol n drink alot of beer on my days off. Good luck!
The obedience of Christians to their leaders isn't exclusive. There are many instances in the Bible where believers have refused orders of kings and magistrates due to the conflict of their obedience to God's commands. I suggest and excellent book called 'Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos' by Junius Brutus. It sums up a Christians' duty of obedience to established leaders and God and where they conflict each other according to the Word of God.
Which passage? I'm interested
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Romans 13:1, NIV
In the NIV it does say that, but in the original versions it says "The order of authority derives from God" which would probably have the opposite effect and undermine secular authority.
Lol have you even glanced at the Bible? It's filled with people who rebelled. You're taking one verse out of context to paint an entire book, religion and culture. Fuck off, faggot.
Evangelical Christians still recite and obey that Bible verse, dumbshit.
None that I know of, hellspawn.
