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.

You are delusional if you don’t see that a revolution is taking place right before our eyes and both parties are complicit. The rino’s words may say reform, but there actions say something far different.

The sooner you understand that the 2016 vote will go even worse than 2012 if another rino is the candidate and begin spreading the word in your rino circles then the better the chance of an actual conservative winning the primary.

Dear Lucian, voting for Romney endorsed his square-left standing public record on abortion and the homosexual agenda (Gay Youth Pride, homosexual adoption). Those were only two of many reasons to firmly and rightly reject Romney for the depravity he represents. If you are a Christian, you know this. So if you voted for him, you voted out of FEAR of the Democrat.

You gave way to a base impulse and voted for an amoral statist bastard. Be grateful that he LOST. I am.
