Romans 13:1 - Verse Of The Day
1 star|7 comments|April 12, 2009|201 reads
 
When I read this verse this question comes to mind, "should you ever stand against the Government?"

In Nazi Germany when Hitler was your leader and he was rounding up Jews to put them to death, (as a Christian), what would you have done with this verse?

13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

THAT IS A VERY INTERESTING LOOK AT THAT VERSE.
BUT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ...THAT WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE SINSE..IT SAIDS IN THE BIBLE THERE IS NO AUTHORITY THAT HAS NOT COME FROM GOD.AND HILTER WAS A AUTHORITY ,
AND HE ORDERED THE JEWS TO BE KILLED,.I WOULD HAVE TO DO AS HE SAID...FOR GODS WAY'S ARE NOT OUR WAYS,

The Only Government....That Exists...on Heaven or Earth is God's True Kingdom so.......One
Must [KNOW] The King & His wishes.

Men Fight to seize Fortune & Fame & Power to Control & Play... Pretend King or President.

If one Thinks of Himself as President or they are The King ....yet do not [SERVE] God's Children they
are not of God.....& God rejects such a Leader.

& what God Rejects, & Hates We must Hate as well ! ! !

We must fill the Void & and put into [order] The proper [service] toward people from it's Leaders.

To allow Evil Men & without resisting this type....is EVIL in itself.

We must not allow or approve anything God Hates.....These People are Self seeking  pursue their own
selfish agenda.

Always be ready for [CIVIL] dis-obedience.....Be-Cause...This is The Resisting [Satan] & His Works.

Without Resistance The Devil Prospers in His Agenda & His Works Flourish...This [must not]
be the case.

We are to Tear Down the Strongholds of Satan.

& Build up God's Kingdom ! ! !  Black & White ...No Grey...No Luke Warm.

No More Hitlers !

Thanks for the star and the comment Micheal, some very good points.

If I'm understanding Matthew right he is saying that he would obey Hitler!  Matt that is messed up.

Expose and oppose evil (rulers, businessess, etc). R...

So then, Matthew, was the War For Independence wrong?  I mean, after all, King George was "the authority"?  But the colonists had a rallying cry..."No king but King Jesus!".  Whadaya think?

We've been deceived by the devil too long...we're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down...Jesus said all authority has been given to Him, what we bind on earth shall have already been bound in Heaven, and many other Scriptures, y'all know 'em...

It's up to us!!!

Thank God that Peter, Paul, Silas, and countless others did not obey the "governing authorities"... We don't hear too much about those that obeyed, probably because they didn't make any difference in God's kingdom.


Luke 10:19 "Behold, I have given you the authority...to destroy ALL the enemies power..."
