“1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted....”
So then our founding fathers were filled with sin and disobeyed God. Which means our Country was founded on sin.
I’m not debating what you posted, and I’m not debating the bible either.
There were Christians who took that position during the American Revolution. I’m pretty sure the Methodist Church endorsed a loyalist position.
I personally believe those who rebelled were following God, but I lack the personal scholarship of the period to opine on how they reconciled the cited passages.
But we are not talking about revolution. We are talking about our responsibilities as Christians participating in a system which we intend to retain, and which we resolve to reform and restore. Then every man must do his part and participate for hope of restoration to be realized. Disillusionment and discouragement are natural, but we must cling to our higher calling and not give way to base impulses.
