This year, 2016, Christians are going to be FORCED to accept and obey dictates and policies that clearly go against Scripture and God Himself. As a Christian, will you obey? Some Pastors and Christians will cry out YES using "Romans 13" as a justification. However, is that what "Romans 13" really says?
If you read verse 3, "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same", God clearly ordains government to do GOOD works and not to do EVIL. So, when government rules by EVIL, defying God's command to do GOOD, does that not violate the ordinance, or wishes, of God giving government ruling authority in the first place?
A great "Treatise" on this subject is a book by Pastor Chuck Baldwin titled
Romans 13 - The True Meaning of Submission
For a "Cliff Note" version you can watch a sermon Pastor Baldwin gave on "Romans 13"
Decision Time is Here! Will You Obey Man's Law .......... or Will You Obey God's Law?
