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] If you disobey him you burn in hell forever....but he LOVES you :epiclol: KILL EVERYTHING THAT BREATHES The "god" pf the old testament sounds like a psychotic stepfather that comes home drunk al the time [/quote]
Original Message
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.
