    It is great to see some God-fearing church leaders having these conversations, yet tragic that the majority are not and instead cowering to the narratives of the world. May God grant our land a resurgence of Biblical, sound doctrine in the churches!

      We as children of God are looking at the government too much I just come to think I'm on it more lately we are supposed to be families not an institution And the families were to look out for one another Paul sent a gift down to journalists one And he said put the gift away as you purposed To be ready to give All these things in the world's government you've got to take it from somebody to give it to somebody else or make an exemption and that is just outright sort of stealing

    What bothers me is that many pastors, including the pastor of the church I attended before all this mess started, began using Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 as go to scriptures for their belief in obedience to government. But they never once mention that both Yeshua (Jesus) and Paul challenged earthly authority. Needless to say, for a Christian and a veteran of the US Army, that didn't sit well with me. We've had a falling out since then. It has caused me to dig deeper. Something that's curious to me is that when God called Abraham out of the land of Ur he made a promise to him. I'm sure you remember the promise. God told Abraham he would make him into a great nation....not a great religion or philosophy, but a nation. And that's very important. A nation needs laws. It took God more than 400 years to give the children of Abraham those laws through Moses. They were established in the Ten Commandments and the book of Leviticus. But in the course of several thousand years the pharisees and sadducces added to the ribbinical laws through ordinances and traditions. It is those ordinances and traditions Yeshua found himself coming up against and in heated debates with the keepers of the law....pharisees and sadducces. There are many instances where Yeshua was embroiled in heated confrontations with the pharisees over healing on the Sabbath. When most people read these passages they do so at the altitude of 30,000 feet devoid of any emotion or tension while hiding behind the veneer of supposed intellectual honesty. The text alone is dripping with tension as the Messiah is presented with the delimma of making someone whole on the Sabbath or passing the buck and saying, "Can you come back tomorrow?" He chose grace and mercy in the moment and in doing so became a practitioner of civil disobedience. He stared the pharisees and sadducces in the eye, those charged with upholding and enforcing the law and went against their ordinances and traditions. And oh, what was the "cleansing" of the temple all about!? Was it Yeshua grabbing a bucket and a mop to swab the floor and a rag to polish the hand rails and dust the end tables? No! But that's exactly what it sounds like when we use such a sanitized word to describe his true actions. He fashioned a whip (a weapon) and used it to drive both man and beast from the temple, knocking over tables scattering money all over the temple floor in the process. That, my friends is civil unrest. With this in mind, wouldn't you say Yeshua was involved in politics? Was it not the law of a nation he was debating? And was it not the ruling elite he was challenging? How then can anyone say Yeshua was never political? What about the Apostle Paul, the author of Romans 13? Did he always bow to the will of local government? In fact he did not. It's recorded for us that on three separate occasions Paul stood in opposition to local magistrates and governors to demand his rights as a citizen be granted to him. This vaccine is unethical, immoral and has crossed the line into tyrannical subjugation. These "mandates" need to be fought, not only by freedom loving people of the world, but also by those who call themselves "Christians." It's time to get real in your walk.

    I think the interpretation offered in the title is a little off-centre. It's not abusive leaders we should resist, but rather ones who want us to do what is evil in God's sight.
    God does not want Christians to become revolutionaries who revolt against oppression, except in prayer, we can only but pray.
    Jesus himself said in his teaching:
    Matthew 5:39-41
    [39]But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
    [40]If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.
    [41]Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
    Now this is of course within the context of righteousness. If a leader makes a law that overrides the law of God, we have obligation to resist it both actively by disobeying it like Daniel did but also in prayer
    But we can't say that because a leader isn't a god-fearing person that we would resis them. Darius the mede did not know God, yet Daniel served him faithfully up until it came to his faith and even after
    It is our faith we must uphold, not our rights

      Therefore, it indeed adresses governments. But only if they match the conditions. There is a great distinction between how we may see it and how God sees it. Which one do you think matters?

    One has to know if the authority they are under is of God. Simply ask if you have to go to court ask is this court under the authority of God?
    Now this world is very tricky. If you are not living according to the Scriptures then the court may see that has a rebellion against God if the court is of God and you are rebelling against Him the court will hold you accountable.
    The only thing is people do not recognize how they are rebelling against God when they identify in court.
    Some things one might want to take into consideration are if one is to follow the law of the land it might be a good idea to know the definitions of the laws and the words in it.
    Here are some:
    DOB = date of birth = coming into a separate existence. Black laws definition the one the court uses to control legal.
    Denies “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬
    Complying with the STATE definition of marriage = accepting that marriage is between a man and a man
    Denies that marriage is between a man and a woman.
    “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
    ‭‭James‬ ‭4:17‬ ‭KJV ‬‬
    “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”
    ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬
    We must not be participating in thing contrary to the Word
    All LEGAL CITIZEN PERSONS of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are subject to admiralty law = law of the sea
    Denies follow the law of the land
    One could be born an American and that follows the law of the land but when one chooses to be a legal citizen person that contract ( a contract made after the age of 18 when one checks a box and signs on the line they choose to be a CITIZEN ) binds them to a court of admiralty law. Your current “Lord” is Admiral Sir Tony Radakin
    First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff
    June 2019
    Sir Winston Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty from 1911-15 and 1939-40 and as such the civilian Cabinet minister ultimately responsible for Admiralty and Royal Navy affairs. In September 1911 Churchill was advised that he was to be First Lord of the Admiralty.
    The gold fringed United States flag is the Admiralty or War flag which denotes Admiralty or martial law
    THE UNITED STATES CITIZEN is surety for the UNITED STATES FIAT CURRENCY = the dollar
    Denies do not be surety for a debt.
    If a man does labor for an other that man normally pays him in fiat currency. The cotton money is substituted for debt the CITIZEN represents the surety because as a CITIZEN they back the value of the cotton money ( they CITIZEN has “value” because they will be “forced” to pay taxes under the law of the sea for what could be up to 100 years ) thus literally making a CITIZEN surety for a debt.
    If a politician or elected person including sheriff even Pastors when they preformed a wedding certificate for the county they swore and oath before the county clerk they all take and oath.
    Denies “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”
    ‭‭James‬ ‭5:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬
    Now if one claims to be a man of God but is denying by identification the Word of God according to the definitions of the law of the land one might have a problem.
    Solution stop going against the Scriptures identify according to the Scriptures but do not violate the law of the land definition.
    If the definition states a DOB is coming into a separate existence then ask yourself when did that happen for me?
    How can you be forgiven if you do not know what to ask for?
    How can if you ask for forgiveness and continue in those ways? If

    So, like the disciples, we obey the government in so far as it doesn't disobey God. In that case, we obey God and gladly suffer for righteousness sake. Rome was founded as a republic. However, in Paul's days, it had long since ceased being a republic. It was an empire. Paul never told the Christians to submit to the foundations of Rome. But, he told them to submit to the current government. So again, like the disciples, we submit to God first off. Then, we submit to the government unless they directly contradict the express will of God as stated in His holy word, the Bible!
