She graduated from school, so they no longer "rule over her." The graduation ceremony does not take place before you graduate, but after. It is merely a recognition that you have completed school.
BTW do you "honor" Obama, the IRS, Janet Napolitiano, Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Kathleen Sebelius?
BTW the command is to "remember" not to honor. The verse refers to those who "led" you not those who "ruled over you." The context is in regard to those who were martyred for the faith or otherwise had died. The command is to remember the sacrifice of those who have fallen and to follow the example of the dead saints and martyrs.
Well, how about this one?
"Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well." 1 Peter 2:13-14
“She graduated from school, so they no longer rule over her. The graduation ceremony does not take place before you graduate, but after. It is merely a recognition that you have completed school.”
Just wow! This sounds more like something her fellow graduating class members might say. She was at the school’s commencement, a ceremony offered by the school. As such, they had in place certain requirements pertaining to their ceremony. Not only did she dishonor the school, but she dishonored her fellow classmates, as well, by injecting into the ceremony (a ceremony given for all) her own little act of rebellion. You may be technically correct in saying they had no rule over her in light of her status. But the school had the right of expectation of one of their alumna/one of their guests/attendees to adhere to the proscribed rules of decorum that they set forth in advance of the ceremony.
“BTW do you “honor” Obama, the IRS, Janet Napolitiano, Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Kathleen Sebelius?”
By obeying the laws of the land, yes, I do.
“BTW the command is to “remember” not to honor. The verse refers to those who “led” you not those who “ruled over you.”
Heb 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
Actually, the verse refers to those who have spiritual oversight over you (elders). But, to the point, how does one “Remember” one who rules over them, except they [continue to] honor them?
