Do you agree:
Unlike many hip Baptist leaders who despise President Donald Trump and recoil at the American flag, we believe the Bible encourages patriotism. They are right. The Bible encourages the Christian to a responsible devotion to his state. The Apostles Peter and Paul respectively in their epistles commanded Christians to obedience, subjection, honor and duty to the government.
Of course this must never conflict with one’s duty to God; however, the Christian must recognize the state is part of God’s divine plan. He created government for man’s good. Failure to render it duty is to rebel against God.
