cmotherofpirl Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 excellent post. You can see it in Romans 13:1-5 very clearly. It is broken down into a main statement -Submit to higher authorities because God has appointed them (this refers to government - if you want to know why I can go into it, but no one really disputes this) Reason #1 - because God has appointed them to punish you Reason #2 - because God has appointed them to discourage evil and promote good (i.e. anarchy leads to ruin) Reiteration - Do it for fear of Judgment, and also because of Conscious. THis all fine and dandy unless its a corrupt govenment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
