Fine and Obama is not mine, nor is Obama appointed by God. He is also constitutionally illegitmate thus nulling and voiding any authority he has. Romans 13:1-7 was also written at a time when oriental despostism was the rule of the time. The concept of a free society, the rule of law and democratic republic conceived by Christians inspired by God came several hundred years later which was even beyond St. Paul’s knowledge and experience.

Sic Semper Tyrannis, baby!(Resistance to Tyrants is obedient to God) If you have a reasonable alternative to this marxist your stubborness makes you a blasted fool and an enabler of evil.

Interesting comments on Romans 13:1-7. The passage fascinates me and makes me ponder. All nations are authorized by God to "punish the evildoer", and in so doing keep order (their job). God has wrath stored up for all of those who went beyond this framework and abused their people.

I found this by Calvin (I'm not a "Calvanist"):

"The Lord, therefore, is King of kings. When He opens His sacred mouth, He alone is to be heard, instead of all and above all. We are subject to the men who rule over us, but subject only in the Lord. If they command anything against Him let us not pay the least regard to it, nor be moved by all the dignity which they possess as magistrates-- a dignity to which no injury is done when it is subordinated to the special and truly supreme power of God."
