RE: Romans Chapter 13 : In Context

in #thoughts8 years ago

Many will teach unlimited obedience to the state based on the beginning of Romans 13. That's mostly in the "state-approved" churches, but pastors will preach that. I saw a post just the other day concluding that we need to obey the government because that's what the Bible says, so I felt compelled to write this.

Sort:  

We DO need to obey the government because that's what the Bible says. But have you ever seen someone explicitly say we need to obey the government in disobedience to God?

Some teach unlimited obedience to the state. I am not sure if that was the goal of the post that I read, but without adding this clause, it can be taken that way. I wanted to make sure to point out the clause.
