Joseph and Ester and Paul were in the positions they were in to do what they did because God put them there for a specific purpose. They didn't decide on their own to go to Pharoah or to marry King Xerxes, or to go to all the places where Paul went. They were doing the will of God for their lives.
That's the difference.
What about the importance of stewardship? Are not we, the citizens of the US (if you are a US citizen) called by God to steward what weve been entrusted with?... a country where men are not to dominate other men, where the poor and rich are equal in the eyes of the law, where God may be worshiped freely...etc, etc, etc.
I guess it comes down to each person who calls himself a Christian making the decision to live his life according to what God wants his life to be and to accomplish or to decide for himself to do what he thinks is the best thing to do and to not live his life for Christ and suffering the consequences of refusing to completely turn one's life over to Christ.
I guess it comes down to if someone who calls himself a Christian really means that he is a Christian and will live his life serving God and His purposes or if that person is going to live his life for himself and what he thinks is wise.
And you haven't been able to produce any Scripture to support any of your positions so far.
How about trying to find anything where Christ said that there would be any equality among people in any laws made by men?
I’ve provided scriptures and scriptural examples of men and women being used by God to affect their culture. God does not reprimand these people, in fact, He puts them in His bible for us to see and appreciate and learn from.
I’ve also presented (in my limited abilities) an example of applying, actually APPLYING A BIBLICAL CONCEPT - of stewardship - to OUR ACTUAL LIVES as citizens of this country, where GOD HAS PLACED US NOW FOR HIS PURPOSES.
Paul and Joseph and Esther weren’t omniscient, knowing how every detail in their lives would play out in the future, but, they each had to exercise faith in that God would work through them...same as us.
And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight...Hebrews 11
...do you need even more scriptures? I can find more, it’s not difficult, as the entire bible is filled with examples of God working His will through His people on earth. Come to think of it Jesus taught His disciples to pray...”Our Father...Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven...” Surely, God is very concerned with how we govern His Earth.
