That's inconsistent. At least Dr. Norman Geisler (conservative Christian theologian and philosopher) is consistent enought to say that the American Revolution was "unjustified".
As a Christian you must take into account ALL the Biblical data, including the scriptural exceptions to governmental-authority-as-supreme.
In some respects, we have FAR more justification to independence than there was during the American Revolution. Around 40 million dead unborn children, gay marriage, the marxist-athiest domination in our country, the deletion of God from the public square.
Heck, we owe King George the third an apology for the enumerations of abuses in our Declaration of Independence if we think our present culture is more acceptable than what existed at the time of the American Revolution.
bump. This is the correct thread.
Okay, so why don't you let me know where the government is forcing you to bow down to the emperor, as long as we are taking things in context. Or to follow another possible reason for rebellion, how is the government forcing you to be homosexual or aborting your babies, etc. ? The only exception to obeying the government is when they attempt to force you to do something sinful.
