[quote:Anonymous Coward 77998499:MV81MDIwMTYyXzkxOTQwODM0XzFGNkU1MkMz] [b][color=blue]Just more bullshit from the apologists Romans 13 says God appoints government and to obey it it does NOT specify not to obey it if the government goes bad and who is to decide if government is good or bad? You? God appointed the government, not you. The truth is not in the Bible No one has any authority over another God is a meme being used to establish tyranny all governments are tyrannical go disobey any law in any government at any time in history and see what happens tyranny happens because the state has a monopoly on force and you are not even allowed to resist even for failure to appear or failure to pay[/color][/b] [b][color=red]SO WILL YOU CHRISTIANS PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP YOUR RELIGION IS TYRANNY AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN[/color][/b] [/quote]

Given the gravity of misunderstanding Romans 13, this video is well worth the 7 minutes (or 3.5 minutes on 2X speed) of your time.
For those of you who insist on a synopsis for every video, you will not be disappointed by watching. He'll explain why the powers given to government are not universal, and that they have clear limits as defined in the Scriptures.
It is not always a sin to defy or disobey government. Romans 13 is not the only passage in the Bible -- there are thousands and thousands of other passages one must consider when forming their worldviews.
