Carpro just curious as to how you can mesh this attitude with what we are taught in the gospels which says:
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
Of all the people that have the right and the authority to speak out against the government or overthrow a government it would be Christ Himself, yet He said nothing of the like, and as His examples we are supposed to be "masters" of the government.
Where is the Scriptural support for this. I thought if we wanted to be recognized that it would come through service not being a master?
Just curious as no one has put forth an answer to this one.
No one here is advocating the overthrow of this or any other government. There is a big difference between holding it accountable which is what we (try sometimes but not very often becaue it turns into a blob of petty party political insults and chaos...I hate when that happens) discuss here and overthrowing it which would be stupid imho. What would we replace it with? We already have the finest republic ever to be on the face of the earth laid out in our founding documents. There is no better form of government than our republic. Not made by man anyway.
What I and I'm sure many many other Americans would like to see is that republic restored and functioning as it should instead of what we have now.
Basically a criminal enterprise for lack of a more PC description.
Holding government accountable to the law is our duty as citizens just as much as obeying the law is. Look at this way we have no Ceasar or king to serve here in the USA. We have the law. That law is the constitution which governs the state, those individuals we choose (or used to) to represent us. The law is our "Ceasar".
We aren't breaking any of God's laws by obeying ours we're upholding them. He does command us to obey the law right. This republic is our 230 year old very unruly child in desperate need of a good hard spanking with a lilac switch (grandad's fav) and sent to it's room.
We as citizens have let this kid run around and have it's way for way tooooooo long now and it is threatening to devour us. Don't know bout you but I ain't down with all that.
It wouldn't be a matter of overthrowing
anything by popular revolt with our baby armed like he is. It would be about defending your life and surviving in an
unlawful militarized high tech scientific police state crakdown like this world has never seen as the state tries to defend it's very powerful and profitable criminal enterprise and itself! It would be "the mother of
all" crackdowns, trust me.
There wouldn't be any overthrowing going on. That's the way I see it anyway.
Being baited with the obvious doesn't deserve an answer. Consider yourself fortunate I bothered.
Zoinks! Good answer C why didn't I think of that? Doh! :laugh:
